The Muskrat Marsh Expedition

One of the most beloved attractions at Wonder World is the Muskrat Marsh Expedition in Catfish Cove. It originally opened as a canoe ride. Then later, launch boats replaced the canoes, taking guests deep into the bayou. The last update to the attraction added several animatronic animals.


The entrance to the Muskrat marsh Expedition. The image of a muskrat on the sign is the only actual muskrat you'll see. :)


The queue inside the entrance building.


It looks like the locals spend the evenings here playing cards


All aboard.


"This is your captain speaking. Please keep all arms and legs inside the launch. There are hungry gators in these waters."


"As we leave the harbor, be sure to keep a look out for those elusive muskrats."


"We are now passing by the Catfish Cove Shooting Gallery."


"Wave goodbye to the inhabitants of Catfish Cove. You may never see them again. Oops, wrong ride"


"On your right is Rumbling Ridge."


"Welcome to the bayou."


"Told you there were gators."


"A flock of pelicans. Isn't that the name of an 80's new wave band?"


"We're now passing the cabin of the legendary hunter, Trapper Dan. 
He must be out, hunting muskrats."


"It can get spooky on the bayou at night. Anybody see any muskrats yet?"


"Looks like a herd of mountain goats. What the heck are they doing in a bayou?"


 "To your right, you can see a boat filled with silly humans searching for muskrats. Baa."


"We're now passing Twin Falls."


"I think that gator just swallowed a muskrat."


"The two little pigs and the big bad gator."


"Hopefully, he's not feeling too hungry."


"But if you're hungry, you can can get some delicious pork chops at the 
Southern Plantation Restaurant."


"Please watch your step as you exit on left. If you exit on right, please plug your nose. Come back and see us again sometime, ya hear."
