A majestic moose wades in the water as the Disneyland Railroad, bright and full of character, chugs across a rocky bridge surrounded by lush forest near the iconic Rivers of America.

Disneyland Railroad and Rivers of America are reopening tomorrow, Saturday, July 29, and Disneyland has released a first look at the updated attractions.

The fan-favorite Disneyland Railroad travels a new scenic route along the north bank of Rivers of America, where it passes stunning new waterfalls and rockwork. Guests can also enjoy these new views from the water with the return of Mark Twain Riverboat, Sailing Ship Columbia, and Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes.

Dioramas of the Grand Canyon and Primeval World have been updated for the first time since opening in 1958. In Primeval World, newly painted sets, dinosaurs, and creatures are mixed with new lighting and effects.

Animatronic dinosaurs dramatically clash near a smoldering volcano, illuminated by intense red and orange lights that capture the thrilling, immersive atmosphere of the fiery prehistoric scene guests experience along the Disneyland Railroad by the Rivers of America during its grand reopening.
