Jungle Cruise boat sinks!

[Missing20K]

I’m not saying it’s acceptable. I’m saying it’s not appropriate to imply that it’s the result of lowered standards since this same thing has happened multiple times before. Including back when standards were higher. We just didn’t always have cell phones and social media.

So multiple failures of the same variety over a period of decades. Would that indicate a QA/QC issue during routine maintenance? Seems like something you'd want to correct more "permanently." Or is it akin to a roof leak, in that you don't know you have one until the water is pouring down the wall?

Please notice I laughed at your joke.

Duly noted. I will not need to take over as your swimming instructor.

how can this be? i was told disney world has never been better. it's always busy, after all.

And some on the jungle cruise incident who got their poor sneakers and socks wet, will ask for replacement for their mishap from Disney, and if you scream loud enough, you shall be rewarded..

 

[Lirael]

I'm just here, cruising through the board with a sinking feeling we're aboat to see more of this happen and I wonder water Disney going to do to jungle these problems with the management changes.

Guess the joke about the most dangerous part of the ride being the skipper's attempt to dock the boat won't work any more.

The headline should be "Disney Pulls The Plug On Jungle Cruise"...

The real question is, of course: how many fastpasses did the wet passengers get after this incident?

 

[corran horn]

Which boat? I need names!

 

[Epcot82Guy]

The real question - did they get a FastPass for Splash Mountain or Kali River Rapids as compensation?

FP? I would want new sneakers, socks and lunch!

I know I’m not suppose to laugh, but this has got to be the funniest thing to happen on a Disney ride. It sucks, but that is a slow sinking boat.

Looks like it's Bomokandi Bertha.

Here's the transcript of their SOS call to the German Coast Guard:

BB: Mayday! Mayday! This is the Bomokandi Bertha, approaching the dock at the Jungle Cruise, and we're SINKING!!!
GCG: Dis is der Cherman Coast Guard... vaht are you sinking about?

 

[Lilofan]

Boat was overloaded by obese guests.

 

[RevRemy]

This has to be good for a guaranteed BG, right? Forget lunch, shoes and a FP!

The story is worth more than anything. You'd only be able to tell it for the rest of your life.

The late night talk show hosts will have a field day in what happened at MK today.

Only believed, however, in your best dad outfit.

I'm a bit traumatized thinking about if this happened to me, walking around the MK the rest of the day in wet, squishy shoes

I am sure the folks in the boat got FREE STUFF, including FREE FOOTWEAR and FREE replacements for whatever other belongings got wet..

Um, and why not? That seems like a reasonable request in this case.
