'FRONTIERLAND is a place that pulses with the energy of ideals and dreams of our forefathers.

THE 'MARK TWAIN' is the Mississippi riverboat that has been a Disneyland attraction ever since the park opened in 1955.

The riverboat is also used in the Fantasmic night shows (see Part 5). The pictures on this page and the next include river-bank scenes viewed from the 'Mark Twain'
