/* History */
Adventureland opened in 1971 with three attractions, the [[Tropical Serenade]], the [[Jungle Cruise]] and the [[Swiss Family Treehouse]]. The original theme of the land focused on the 1950's view of exotic adventure. Lush vegetation, tribal music and Pacific architecture gave the land a “jungle like” feel. This theme was expanded on quickly however, when in 1973 Caribbean Plaza was built, housing the popular dark ride [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]. Caribbean Plaza expanded on the theme of Adventureland, and gave the land more of an island feel then a jungle one. The next change came to Adventureland in 1991 When the Tropical Serenade was replaced by The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management). The new attraction was similar to the Tropical Serenade but it featured a new plot with Iago (from Aladdin) and Zazu (from the Lion King) taking over as owners of the Tiki Room.
The addition of the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New management) was followed by another major Adventureland expansion in 2001. Taking inspiration from the Disney movie Aladdin, Arabian Village was added to the land. This new section featured the ride [[The Magic Carpets of Aladdin]] and two new shops, Agrabah Bazaar and Zanzibar Trading Company. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is similar to the popular [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]] attraction in [[Fantasyland]], in that guests can “fly” on the carpets. The Aladdin attraction also gives riders the option to choose how high or low they fly. Besides just giving Adventureland a new attraction, the Arabian Village expansion also once again changed the theme of Adventureland, adding desert oasis to the land’s motif.
The most recent change came to Adventureland in 2011 when the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) was replaced by [[Walt Disney’s Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room]]. The show was changed back to a slightly edited version of the original Disneyland Tropical Serenade. After the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, pirates have been featured prominently in Adventureland. An example of this, Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial allows guests to be trained as pirates by Captain Jack himself. On January 23 2013, Disney announced that a new interactive game, titled- A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas would soon be making its debut in Adventureland. The new game is based on the Pirate of the Caribbean film series, and features prominent characters such as Jack Sparrow and Captain Hector Barbossa.
