News Jungle Cruise closing for refurbishment in late August

[ToTBellHop]

Maybe Guardians is on the 5-year VQ plan? And you aren't the only one who wonders why it and Tron are both still using VQ.



You misspelled "the parks are as busy as ever". Not sure why you'd lie and try to mislead people that the parks are slow right now or something...

It’s hot in Florida. Back in the ‘90s, it was a pleasant 82 degrees at 2 pm in July, not 95 like it is now. We can’t expect anyone to come to the parks in this heat so nothing to see here.

I do know a couple outdoor Cars rides and removed water will help MK guests cool off nicely in 2028. It will complement TBA well now that you don’t really get wet on that.

According to updated operational hours, it appears Jungle Cruise now reopens 2 days earlier on Wednesday, October 16:

I felt very sedimental seeing this closed. I’ve always taken it for granite that it’d be open, so I’ll be happy to see a boulder Adventureland later this year.

So we have The Rock in the ride like Depp in PoTC…

I hope that's true! I am going the last week of the month and would hate to miss one of my favorite childhood rides.

Nothing like IP injection where it doesn’t belong or need to be.

Should I expect the Rock's face to be staring at me on Wednesday?

The Jungle Cruise is Cody Rhodes favorite ride at Disney World, so his insertion into the jungle cruise will cause anger in Rhodes towards The Rock, fueling towards a confrontation at wrestlemania between the pair. Long Term Booking, brother.

I'm so happy the Jungle Cruise is coming back..I really enjoy all of the Dad jokes, even though I'm just a Dad to a puppy dog (Belle wags her tail and puts all four feet up!)

Old traumas arise at the sight of a pun-laden joke post?

Just when you thought that short refurbs were safe from IP insertions… We must be wary of every refurb, and cannot let our guard down for even one short refurb. You never know where Bob’s IP Mandate is going to strike anymore.

Something about the green on the rocks looks... off. Can't put my finger on what exactly, though.

Agreed, I really am not a fan of it. But maybe it’s just that it’s so bright now and once it fades in the sun it’ll look better

Too Neverland-y. It’ll work by next summer though and look good for years until it’s painted again.

>Post full of Rock puns
>people on topic (me included) are horrified of TJC getting an IP placement akin to Depp in Pirates with The Rock in the ride
>turns out the post literally meant actual rocks

yeah, this one is a classic
