Vintage Disneyland Jungle Cruise Moai

I never knew it existed, a huge Moai at the entrance of the Jungle Cruise. I could not find any info here on TC so I'll post my find.
I was searching You Tube videos looking to find the big Marq. tiki I own that supposedly came out of Disneyland sometime a few decades ago when I ran across this 1957 DL home movie footage. A very Mighty Moai!

Holy cow...he is BIG!!! I don't remember him.

Kelly,

There were several of these Tikis located at Disneyland in the early days. Here are a few photos.

This one was by the old Hotel in Adventureland.

You can even see one in the background right in the photo of the Jungle Cruise!

I read that the may have been carved by Eli Hedley.
