No, it's his own reason.

Just a joke, how would they even coincide? :lol:

I wonder why, I hope he is ok?
There won't be a major refurb in the summer. Possibility of a refurb, but more SM than HM in magnitude.

He's fine.
:dazzle:
Not the right thing to do, if you want to take Glendale's example.

Hmm. Paint a green stripe, enclose the queue so that its light doesn't leak into the jungle, add video games into the queue, make the river just a bit smoother (but not a full river replacement), and add a couple of parts from Horizons to the area where you get out of the boat.
Did I miss anything? Oh, and a planter.

Take out Schwitzer Falls and paint the rock purple.:lookaroun
But don't add a new sound system to the boats. That would call for new boats which would ruin the whole experience. :lookaroun
Could I maybe do this :lookaroun one more time?

So, conflicting reports as to whether we will be getting a "SM" style or "HM" style refurb of JC.
Personally, I think this may be the result of confusion when comparing the HM and SM refurbs, mainly because those 2 are such different kinds of attractions, and the parameters of what was possible for their refurbs varied greatly in scale between each attraction.
To explain, for SM to have received "HM" treatment, it basically would have to have been rebuilt. There is no plussing of scenes possible on the ride itself. But on the flipside, if SM would have been rebuilt, it would have far eclipsed the scale of the HM refurb. So in a sense, an HM style refurb of SM was not really possible, if you're looking at it from a cost/extent viewpoint.
So in relation to JC, if we say it is going to be getting an "SM" refurb, does that mean that they will be plussing only the queue and exit, and leaving the actual ride pretty much as is? Or does it mean that the scope of the work will be equivalent to SM in duration, cost and manpower only?
I propose, for clarity, that we define a potential "SM" style refurb of JC to refer to a plussing of the queue and load/unload only, along with necessary cleaning and infrastructure done on the ride itself, but with no substantial changes of any kind to the ride itself.
And I further propose that we define an "HM" style refurb of JC to refer to all of the above, with the addition of substantial plussing to the ride itself, including possible new additions to show elements (a la staircase room).
So with that all being said, I would like to know 1) if it will be a SM style as described above, 2) and HM style as described above, or 3) you simply want MousDad to wrap his face up in duct tape.

I had heard, albeit months ago, that it would be HM-esque, just because things were being ADDED to it, along the lines of DL. That's all I know, save for the fact that I have heard nothing negative concerning it for some time.
If it were SM....I guess it would look fresher?:shrug:
I don't get that.

3) Please wrap your face with duct tape. :lol:
This is a good question you brought up. I'm very curious as well.

HM didn't get vehicle or ride system work, did it?
Bolded what I heard (though, months ago, I expect you have up to date info) would be coming.
BTW....I wish SM's exterior had REALLY been tackled. Looking at you, lighting and painting.

Are they? I honestly don't remember if there was that extensive of a change in them. They felt, and looked old, to me.
I agree, but I'm not sure how much WDW could do to refurb the Jungle Cruise ride to the extent of a Haunted Mansion....

From what I understood it was just an update of the audio system and work to make them more fluid. I am not sure that counts as new vehicles or not. :shrug:
Yeah it got new ride control system, all new onboard audio (multi channel, 3D audio), and othet tweeks here and there.
