Looney Tunes River Ride (formerly Looney Tunes Studio Tour) was a dark boat ride at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Australia. A near-duplicate, named Looney Tunes Adventure, existed at Warner Bros. Movie World in Bottrop, Germany (now Movie Park Germany). The ride in Australia opened with the park on 3 June 1991 and closed on 1 February 2011 to make way for a new attraction. The German ride opened in 1996 and was closed in 2004 before being replaced by Ice Age Adventure.

Poor robin-redbreast tunes his note;
Hark, how the jolly cuckoos sing
Cuckoo—to welcome in the spring!
Cuckoo—to welcome in the spring!”

“We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For you alone I ride the ring,
For you I wear the blue;
For you alone I strive to sing,
O tell me how to woo!”
