Walt added humorous scenes to the ride but did not make it into standup routines.Walt agreed the Jungle Cruise should be more humorous and he assigned Marc Davis to creating the now-beloved scenes that added fantasy and laughs to the ride.
The version of JC that Walt opened in 1955 was… lacking in many departments. Walt immediately looked for ways to improve it and make it more light hearted and whimsical.
Even real-wildlife Kilamanjaro Safaris in AK has jokes and humor. In fact, Walt Disney pretty much decided quickly that humor was the way to go.
Abe Lincoln is the only serious attraction at DL. And people aren’t breaking down the door to see it.
I have been on AK Safari probably a dozen times and don't recall any jokes besides maybe when they drop you off at the end. It's always animal facts. Maybe its just me?
