 | Each of the seven themed lands in the Magic | |
| Kingdom are so well transitioned that most guests don't ever think consciously that a transition is in fact occurring. Using gradual changes in architecture, music, and plantings, guests will go from Main Street, USA to the untamed territory of Adventureland without making the connection that these two lands are in fact neighbors. |
| The transition begins with the Crystal Palace | |
| Restaurant. This building is at home on both Main Street and Adventureland (think English Colonization of the mid-late 1800's in Africa and Asia). |
Transitional Foliage
| While crossing the bridge from Main St., notice | |
| how the trees and plants gradually begin to change from more typical North American foliage to thick, broad leafed plants. |
| Parts of Asia, the Caribbean, and Africa are the | |
| areas of the world that Adventureland is based on. |
Adventureland Bridge
| While the bridge serves a real purpose, it's height | |
| was exaggerated for the purpose of the transition. Imagineers knew that when people walk up, they look up, thus distracting them from the final transition into the new land. When guests look back down, the transition is already complete. |
| Also on the bridge, you can pick up the first | |
| sounds of the atmosphere music which changes from American rag style to jungle style drum beats. Within seconds, music from Main St. Disappears. By the time guests have stepped over the bridge, the transformation is complete. |
| Bridges and arches are commonly used | |
| throughout the property to make similar transitions to the one in Adventureland. Look for them in other places such as Pirates of the Caribbean and It's a Small World. |
| Imagineers used Kew Gardens in England, the San | |
| Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, and the Crystal Palace in New York as models for this building. |
