A few years ago, Disney announced that it was expanding its Pirates-led empire of theme-park-rides-turned-blockbuster-movie-franchises, with news that it was talking to Dwayne Johnson about starring in a film adaptation of Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise. Now, Johnson—who, between this, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and the upcoming Jumanji sequel, apparently never met a CGI rainforest he wouldn’t go enthusiastically charging through—is finally ready to come aboard.

Jungle Cruise is one of Disneyland’s original attractions, sending park-goers through recreations of different famous jungle rivers. You can see a ride-through of the attraction below, along with “Weird” Al Yankovic’s musical take on its dangers, which are probably a little more prosaic than the ones in Johnson’s version.
