Jungle Cruise Re-Imagining

[FigmentJedi]

Constance has all the Backstory in the world, meanwhile almost *nothing* is known about The Hatbox Ghost . . . Guess who guests clamor for.

There's "Disney Detail" and then there's overthinking it.

Connie was a product of the Haunted Mansion Bride Lore hitting its peak of popularity and an attempt to revive the base "Disappearing/reappearing head" concept of the Hatbox Ghost in a new context. Then they decided to characterize her as "Matrimony-themed Joel Schumacher Batman Villain" and the menace of an axe wielding Black Widow Bride was kinda undercut.

Any idea on a time frame?

Btw, this new AA skipper they're referring to... is this the re-skinned figure pictured in the concept art on the pole with the other characters, just with added dialogue? Or are we expecting an all new A-1000 figure along the shores of the attraction elsewhere?

In California I don’t miss the random stuff to look at while waiting in line.

In Florida I do miss the goat and the improved finale.

? The goat is there on BTMRR in WDW.

You apparently missed the piranhas, though! (in a totally different sense

Utilizing this same mech, along with this general technology for the rumored Skipper AA would be the most desirable route imo. With that said, I'm honestly not sure how well electric figures survive out in the weather, as compared to pneumatic or hydraulic figures. I'm sure with todays technology, they'll be able to craft some pretty durable skins, which'll be able to protect the inner mechs of electric figures. I also feel it's easier for them to get away with limited motion profiles for animal AAs, as opposed to humans, especially when the human AA is a signature figure.

Looking at the post's media attachment the term "I'll Be Back" comes to mind.

Exclusive Q&A with two Disney Imagineers about changes coming to the Jungle Cruise, exclusively for "Attractions Magazine" subscribers.

Btw, I don't have a subscription to attractions magazine, so I was wondering whether anyone here does. I ask this, because there might be some useful or interesting tidbits in this article, though it might just be the same information we already know about.

I mean, yeah, absolutely. I wish we could have both. Do you think they cost about the same amount?

That would be changing the argument though.

And the marketable factor and ROI of that would also not be the same.

The newest rumor is that they are adding in a lion that identifies as a hippo-rebranding the ride more akin to the i.p. of one of their previous moves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_Cat_(film)

I'm going to go with "no"

Ok what confused me is no one reacted to their message with a laughing emoji.

 

[RSoxNo1]

So, closure time frame?

I wasn't arguing, I was simply agreeing, haha!

Surprised dates haven’t been announced yet. I know the target end date (same on both coasts), and I’d think that they need to announce rerun dates unless they want it to be a last minute announcement.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mk gets it towards the end of the 50th or after.
