I certainly like the Chimp vignette. I wonder whether these figures will be A-1000s or standard pneumatic figures like the rest of the JC cast.

Good ole wokeness, gotta love it! Well, you betta!

Unlike the Splash Mountain changes, I have no problem with these. Always found some of the depictions a bit cringe.

Shame to lose the “head” salesman... I know sales have been shrinking for decades but I thought his “overhead” costs would keep him safe.

Oh god, Sam is going to be a sock and sandal wearing condo/timeshare salesman

 

[Surferboy567]

Jim Hill was right

Are we sure Sam is leaving? There’s a very popular bar named after him at the Poly.

The difference is it doesn’t seem like the updates are about the new movie though.

As long as they don't get rid of the time frame. The late '20's / early '30's theme just works for this - the same way the late
'30's worked perfectly for Raiders of the Lost Arc. Don't lose that soundtrack!

Please don't replace the temple scene interior with projection mapping like in Tokyo. It's the best part of the ride and now unique to WDW.

cue the DISNEY'S RUINING MY CHILDHOOD JUNGLE CRUISE IS MY FAVORITE ATTRACTION THAT I JUST REMEMBERED EXISTED AND I AM SO ANGRY THAT DISNEY WOULD TOUCH THIS BELOVED CLASSIC THAT PEOPLE JUST NOW REMEMBERED EXISTED

(i'm a bit late on that but)

seriously people it's just adding a story and removing the more problematic scenes

As the comments have pointed on YouTube...is that a SEA logo on Kevin’s jacket?

Also to give my opinion on this excited for this I always thought the Jungle Cruise needed some love.

That was my surprise (in a good way), that this is NOT movie related (from what we know about the plot so far).

Yes.

As long as they don’t try too hard.... Canteen is average at best - which could have been a home run - so we’ll see how this goes.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

It's a very obvious special effect that replaced all the animals and animation that used to be in there.

The original was a riff on Tunnels of Love. A darkened spooky space you cruise through. I much prefer that to a brighter, flatter set.

When is Jungle Cruise closing for the updates?
