The entire Adventurers Team has finally found the ruins of the ancient jungle temple. But to get to it they have to pass a deep gorge with a wild river. Who dares to pass the old bridge? Once on the other side they will face a number of surprises. Among these are a scary skeleton and deadly flying spears. 

This set is worth alone because of the unique boat. The falling down skeleton is very clever. It would have been nice with a little more vegetation. Too much makes it difficult to play with. The rather ugly car has a tendency to fall apart. This can remedied by replacing the 2x8 plate with a 2x10 plate and adding a number of 1x2 and 2x2 plates to make the chassis more sturdy. 

The temple is constructed by modules, and the top part is removeable for easy access to the inner part of the temple. This set was the first to use this new baseplate, that is symmetrical in both directions. The palm tree is of the new type widely know as "Palm Tree Jr". When I first heard people flaming it, I thought that it could not be that bad. But it really is!
