Sweet, first comment. What do we thinks gonna happen?

 

[wdwgreek]

great to hear it'll get some TLC! I love Jungle Cruise so much!

This is to remove the Jingle Cruise overlay. Disney is following the lead of many Americans by leaving up Christmas decorations until April.

 

[JasonDeyoung]

Sucks cause I'll be there then but it needs some TLC so no worries I'll have to ride it before

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Good! JC could use a little much-needed love.

Time to shine up the gators and paint Trader Sam. I don't think we'll be lucky enough to lose Jack though.

 

[MarkTwain]

Glad to hear it. We had a great Jingle Cruise the other night, but almost none of the animatronics in the temple version were moving.

It just had a big refurb not too long ago with all the AAs taken back to the shop and the water drained. I'd assume this will just be some minor touch ups.

But I am far from an expert.

Maybe a quickie before they pull the plug on Pirates?

They need to put in the upgraded temple effects, that would be awesome, but I doubt it will happen

That's what I was thinking as well. How long was that install in Tokyo?

I belive it was only a couple months .. But I can't say for sure Does the Hong Kong Jungle Cruise have that scene

 

[Horizons1]

Don't expect much.

I bet it has something to do with the hub project. They may be draining both to take out the dams and do maintance at the same time

Hmm...never thought about that!


Add me to the list of people wishing for a temple upgrade. Or perhaps are they adding an interactive queue? Though it is amazingly themed, if there's a long wait time this is one of the most boring queues in WDW because you wind around the same two rooms so much

Could be however they installed the dams in near the Swiss Tree with water in and around JC. Seems it would be easier to pull a dam out than to install a dam with upstream water in it. It would be prudent to do the Hub and JC at the same time IF the JC needed to go dry soon.

The overspill dam at JC is strong enough to stand with one side dry.

The refurb should have started today. Any new ideas on what's going on? Could this be related to the now-confirmed Jungle Cruise themed restaurant?

I can't really see a connection with the restaurant, I also haven't seen any permits for Jungle Cruise yet.

BTW, where was the Jungle Cruise restaurant confirmed? I know it's happening, but I haven't seen anything official from Disney.

I just hope it doesn't involve the stuff they added in Tokyo. They ruined the temple scene...
