S.S. rustworthy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
S.S. rustworthy is an interactive playground at Disney's California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The S.S. rustworthy is sponsored by McDonald's which also hosts the nearby fast food restaurant Burger Invasion. According to legend from Disney's Imagineers the S.S. Trustworthy, a fireboat for Paradise Pier Bay, crashed into its present location and broke into two, and the letter "T" fell off the boat. Hence, it was renamed the "S.S. rustworthy". Themed character "Captain Trustworthy," once seen around the boat in 2001, can now be found at Ariel's Grotto, a sea-side restaurant across the bay from the crashed boat. Every 15 minutes the boat comes to life with horn noises and a water blast out of the boat's smokestack.
Areas around the water spouting smoke stack have been temporarily closed off.
