The American Adventure show is hosted by Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain, with the two historic figures bringing Guests through several periods of American history including the American Revolution, Civil War, Industrial Revolution, and World War II, with 35 Audio-Animatronics figures, and original artwork and music.
The attraction’s recent refurbishment included routine maintenance on the show, as no updates have been made to the show scenes. With all of the moving parts that are required to make each performance possible, occasional maintenance work is needed to keep the show in the best condition for Guests.
