Queen Riverboat was a XXXX in River City. It opened in 1974.
The boat previously sailed around Lake Okiboji. It was modified to run along a guide rail (true?) for Adventureland, similarly to the Rivers of America boats at Disneyland in California and The Magic Kingdom in Florida.
When the Riverview area of the park was opened, a bridge to the island had to be built. This prevented the river from having a path the boat could use.

Trivia
Boat dock still visible
The original dock platform was enclosed and is now the home of River City Smoke Shack. If you go to the seating area behind the building, you can still see some metal posts in the water which were there to guide the boat in to the dock. Some say the track is still along the riverbed, but I have been unable to confirm that. I'm afraid of water.
