Will you ride the water car at the Boathouse, for 100.$ ?

Given the limited capacity it seems like an appropriate price point that will typically keep wait times to a minimum.

It would be one of those things that I would have on an "eventual" "would like to do" "if and when I had the extra money" list. Not something that would be anywhere near as important as a new ride attraction or "park" element. It's a new and out of the ordinary experience that I would be somewhat enthusiastic about putting on my, "I did this in my lifetime" list. Not to mention it would probably be a good "one-upper", in conversations of neat experiences.

Seems high, considering you can do a boat rental at the Seven Seas Lagoon resorts for $45 for a whole hour. Less than half the price for 3 times as long... and you can actually drive yourself (presumably a lot faster, too).

Love your comparison, plus you get to drive the boat yourself.

I think it's priced fairly well, considering capacity will be extremely low to meet demand. If it ends up being too high, the price will come down.

Yeah, I think Disney might want to invest in Ducks.


And in Branson. www.ridetheducks.com

.....and when this happens they can call it a 'unique magical experience'

Eek I know, two sank within a few months of each other in 2013. Thankfully nobody got hurt.....though they got to have a nice swim in the river.

From today's NYDaily News: a 1966 Amphicar

Forget the amphicars....I want to ride the Mickey Couch.

I think I'd rather spend $115 on the just announced tomahawk long bone rib chop for 2.

... that time. Ride the Ducks did have a fatal accident in Philadelphia, although that wasn't really their fault.

If I could drive it myself and fit my family, I would. 3 Guests means one of us will be left behind.

yea seems boring not being able to drive it

I want water cannons on the dock I can rent.

TOTALLY.. soak all those dumb enough to pay for this.

This is a cool and unique experience. The kind of thing that an 8 year old remembers as the coolest thing they did at WDW. The "I remember when Disney was actually special" kind of memories.
Me (Dad) is looking at my wallet. The kids are looking at freakin' amphibicars!

its too bad disney has gotten to the point of needing to take out a loan for some families to go.

Agree, Silver Springs is nice, but I was talking about one north of that.

where?

I'd pay to rent the toybota!

 

[MonorailLover]

Well, based on the Fast and Loud episode, where they bought the amphicar, I now understand why its $100 a ride, theyre trying to pay off the $25k for the piece of crap they bought!

where?

Wakulla Springs, where they filmed Creature from the Black Lagoon and one of the Airport movies - Airport 1977, I think. The water is crystal clear and the Spring is about 180 feet deep. Amazing series of caves that only a small portion have been explored and mapped.

hmmmm...I wonder if you can have your $115 steak (for two) on your $100 mini car/boat ride ?
