Anyone else thinks thr Jungle Cruise needs new jokes?

[Yert3]

I love the corny jokes, but they're getting kinda old. Anyone else feel the same way?

 

[FettFan]

Nope. If they change it, it would be even more upsetting than when they axed the "blood red carpet" line in the Haunted Mansion.

Nope. Perfect the way it is.

I tend to agree with the last two posts, unless you wanna' throw out any new one-liners you may have up your sleeve. Here's your shot at the bigs...

It would be better if they could still ad lib on their own from time to time. The script is cool and it wouldn't be the same without it but a fresh joke wouldn't kill it either.

NO WAY!! Leave it as it is. That is the beauty of it.

Hmm. To my surprise, I'm alone on this one.

The cheesy jokes are what its all about

Oh, I'm not saying get rid of the corney jokes. I like them. I just kinda wish they had more than one script. 3 or 4 different ones would be good

Interesting idea but just as a reference look at the uproar every time they change the narration on the golf ball ride

Nope, they just need better skippers.

I like the jokes, especially the one about the famous Dr. Albert Falls.

Jungle Cruise skippers actually play a game of ad-lib...see who can alter the script so much without being getting a call from management.

 

[StepInTime]

I agree. I love the script the way it is, but the last couple of trips the skippers have been less than enthusiastic. Either way it is a can't miss for me; especially if I can get in a nighttime cruise!

No you're not...I'd like to see a small change...corny jokes but with some updating...

 

[mdjbenkert]

If it isn't broke...don't fix it!

 

[Clamman73]

Not really....but I might just be in de-nile!

I think the jokes still hold up but the captains (at least the ones we have had lately) need to go back to school and learn how NOT to talk like they have marbles in their mouths. The past three times we rode JC we had female captains that "phoned it in" so badly that they were un-intelligible and it just sounded like mush mouth from Fat Albert (I am showing my age) was delivering the spiel. None of them seemed like they were having fun and that is one of those attractions much like TGMR at MGM where if the live action "guide" is not having fun then it seriously detracts from the experience for all of the guests.

 

[pumpkin7]

No, leave it alone. It's a classic. Like others have said, they just need better skippers sometimes.

 

[TubaGeek]

I blame management. I know skippers can get jokes approved, though; it's just a process.

I agree with the skipper comments. Skipper quality makes or breaks a cruise. A famous story in our family - When I was a young lad (this would be about 1980) we were on the JC with my dad's parents. My grandma got incredibly excited when the skipper said he was about to point out some of the plants (she's an avid gardener) and when he just pointed and said, "There's one, there's one, and there's another one" the crestfallen look on her face was priceless. She did laugh a second a later. Anyhoo, the problem with changing the jokes is not that people find them hilarious, but they've become part of the historical fabric of so many vacations. I do think the ride elements could use some updating and prettifying to use the technical terms.
