The Point of This Crest? Fun!
While Disneyland itself is nothing but fun, there are some rides that are extra fun. One of those is the Jungle Cruise with all the puns the guides give us in the narration. Being a rather punny guy myself, I love the Jungle Cruise as a result, so I was thrilled to add the Jungle Cruise entry from the Crests of the Kingdom pin series to my collection.
As always, the front is raised pewter, so it is all silver. However, the design is very evident. In this case, the main feature is one of the boats that serve as the attraction vehicle, taking us deep into the jungles of the world. Helping to decorate the crest are a couple of oars and a spear. The Latin on this crest is “Excitando exploratio ridiculum iocis” or “Exciting exploration with silly jokes.” If that doesn’t describe this attraction perfectly, I don’t know what does.
The inside of the crest shows a scene from the attraction. It’s the scene were the rhino is getting his point across to the explorers trying to climb the pole to get away from him. We only see the bottom explorer and the rhino, but anyone who has been on the ride will know exactly what is being depicted.
Once again, Disney has perfectly captured this ride with the pin. Fans of the attraction, and I’m definitely one of them, will get it. I love it as a result.
Since this was released last year, you’ll have to hunt for it on the secondary market now. But if you are a fan of the attraction, I’m sure you’ll appreciate it.
This series has been fun to see just how Disney would honor some of their signature attractions with an old-fashioned crest. They have nailed most of them, and the crestfor The Jungle Cruise is definitely another winner.
