Davy Crockett’s Wild Frontier by OvertheHorizon

In this attraction, at the crossroads of Frontierland and Adventureland, guests climb into buckboard-style vehicles for a dark ride exploring the wild frontier of Davy Crockett featuring audio-animatronic likenesses of Fess Parker as Crockett and Buddy Ebsen as his friend, George Russell. Accompanied by the music of The Ballad of Davy Crockett, experience the tale of America’s most famous frontiersman, as we travel past his Tennessee birthplace to the scene of a young Davy confronting a b’ar (bear) when “he was only three.” Explore his frontier days featuring buffalo herds, confronting pirates masquerading as Indians, dramatic keel boat races, and in a scene rivaling the Hall of Presidents, witness Davy’s time in Congress. The climactic scene leads us to the Alamo, where Crockett takes his last stand, and we exit the ride past a giant Texas flag to a gift shop where we can continue our adventure with the purchase of a coonskin cap.
