- A great place to look out over Frontierland especially near the top.

- Not too long ago, I think, they added the parrots near the front entrance which really add a "tropical island" feel to the attraction.

- The Swiss Family Treehouse closed in 1998 to make way for Tarzan's Treehouse, which both made the attractiom relevant for a modern audience and improved many of its features. But the Treehouse, whether housing the Robinson's or Tarzan, still lives in Disneyland. added 01.29.01
