Westernland
Frontierland
Rivers of America
is an artificial river found in the Frontierland district of the Magic Kingdom-classed Disney theme parks around the world. The first river was built in Disneyland when the park opened in 1955. It surrounds Tom Sawyer Island, which can be reached by rafts traveling from the Frontierland mainland. Additionally, there are other water-based vehicles which are found on the river. The sights along the Rivers include a Native American tribe, a burning cabin (though the cabin at Disneyland hasn't been burning for years), and various animatronic wildlife.

Audio-Animatronic
is the registered
trademark for a form of
robotics created by
Walt Disney Imagineering for shows and attractions at Disney
theme parks, and subsequently expanded on and used by other companies. The robots move and make noise, generally in speech or song. An Audio-Animatronic is different from android-type robots in that it uses prerecorded movements and sounds, rather than processing external stimuli and responding to them. In 2009, Disney switched to an updated version of the technology called Autonomatronics.
Big Thunder Mountain
Country Bear Theater
is an attraction at the
Magic Kingdom in the
Walt Disney World Resort and at
Tokyo Disneyland in the
Tokyo Disney Resort, as well as a former attraction at
Disneyland Park. All versions of the attraction are similar.
The attraction is a stage show with
audio-animatronic figures. Most of the characters are bears who perform
Country music. Characters rise up to the stage on platforms, descend from the ceiling, and appear from behind curtains. The audience includes audio-animatronic animal heads mounted on the walls who interact with characters on stage.
Due to overwhelming popularity, The Country Bear Jamboree was given a "spin-off" show which appeared during the 1984 winter season at Disneyland. It was called The
Country Bear Christmas Special.
