Jungle Cruise Re-Imagining

[jeanericuser001]

Now they just need to weather the red so it's not so vibrant.

I think a better choice would have been to leave the green background and just change the red accents on the letters, but whatever.

Florida weather will do that. Give it a little time, no paint job for a while, and nature will do the rest. Now to see if this attraction shines or will trader sam be getting a few extra heads to add to his collection.

Green is out, and in its place comes a more neutral design at the entrance to the Jungle Cruise.

I preferred the green version.

I preferred the green version.

I think this one is preferable in context because of the green siding behind it. While I like the other better when just looking at the sign alone, it blended too much into the rest of the building, forcing the wait time and FastPass signs to pop out more than the attraction sign.

This one pops more right now but weathering will reduce that.

So no projections still?

 

[ImperfectPixie]

MUCH BETTER!

 

[Figments Friend]

Liking the new version of the sign.

Much better then the 'aged green wood' varient.
Reads much better from a distance, and from against the building.

Some changes can be good...hurrah!

Better for both being less Christmas-like and easier to read.

They can keep the green sign for Jingle Cruise.

What is the N for? North? The cypher says "JCN."

I found it on the site that should not be named. The cypher is JNC "Jungle Navigation Company."

Has it been established that the monkey statue in the temple was replaced by the cobra statue w/ a glowing orb? Bc if not, it has.

I think this is an appropriate change. The replacement still achieves the right ambience without looking as idol-like.

Ugh. I hope the temple doesn’t lose its ambience or music.

Is it just me, or does that art style not match the attraction at all? Maybe it needs to be aged.

I don’t think you’re wrong. It looks far too modern to be from the 1930’s(?). That’s always the era I’ve thought JC was set in, anyone with better information can please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

According to this link, she’s supposedly the granddaughter of Dr. Albert Falls and started the tour company in 1931: https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Albert_Falls

Alberta Falls

Alberta Falls is a Jungle Cruise character introduced in the Skipper Canteen restaurant. Alberta Falls was born in 1911 to historian Albert Falls, Jr. and Indian artist Sneh Falls. When she was eight years old, her father was busy traveling on the lecture circuit and sent Alberta to live with...

It doesn’t look right to me either. It’s less an issue of style than of design: they just haven’t captured the distinctive look and feel of a vintage travel poster, opting instead for something that looks like a painted version of a photograph. Very disappointing.

Terrible! And the biggest takeaway from the Twitterverse is "Can we buy Alberta's dress? Can we buy her fannypack bag purse?"
I weep for future generations. This is FAR TOO MODERN to be in-theme! WTH, Disney!?

I think the mural that was previously in its place captured the spirit of those vintage travel posters far more effectively. I'm assuming this big new painting replaced the old JNC mural in the queue.

Do you have a picture of the mural you're talking about? It would be such a shame if this new painting has replaced something more effective.
