No way. Disney does too many redos on attractions. Jack sparrow for instance. I love jack but I didn't think he needed to be added to poc. Just sayin'.

Couldn't agree more about POTC. The movies detract from the ride instead of adding to it.

I especially loved that Pintel is in the jail scene.

Well, not really, but the resemblance is uncanny. :p

Agreed whole-heartedly. All of the Pirates are caricatures of real looking people, with bulbous noses, crooked teeth, big chins, exaggerated facial features...and yet the Jack Sparrow ones are dead-on realistic to Jack. Someone didn't think that one through, because it makes everything else look VERY fake. He doesn't fit.

I think that Jungle Cruise needs some serious love, but the ride still works the way it is - it's corny, it's whimsical and it should always be. But it needs some serious AA upgrades, and for crying out loud, YES, let the narrators stray from the script once in a while! Better yet, REQUIRE them to mix it up once in a while!

All it really needs is enthusiastic captains without marbles in their mouths so that the are intelligible IMO. I love this ride but the captains of late have been real debbie downers with their lack of enthusiasm and rushed delivery of lines.

Personally I would be ok if they tore it up and put in a few new rides in the huge amount of space that it takes up. But I would be happy with a refurb as well.

Technical updates, add some new jokes into the rotation... But essentially keep it the same I say. Why fix what ain't broke? I kind of like that I know the spiel.

Though as long as it smells the same (especially upon entering Shirley's Temple)... :p

If it was done right, yes. Jungle Cruise, although old, has much charm about it and it would be sad to lose that charm. I noticed a few things not working or only working a little bit on our last trip. One of the 'natives' wasn't drumming. That's probably just a little thing but yeah, it needs some love. But not like 'New Management' love.. it needs proper love!

On my last trip, JC was probably the least enjoyable of all of the rides we rode. I am not sure if it is a common occurrence, or if we just hit it at a bad time, but we spent half of the time that we were in our boat was in a traffic jam at the end of the ride.

Changing the boats a little to make them more efficient for getting guests on and off would have made a huge difference to me. I am not sure if that's doable, but my perception of the ride would probably be much better if it didn't take so long to get off at the end.

I wish they upgrade more and change a few things up. Add more to the temple. Make it more silly with large bugs. Change the script and add two workers to the boat to interact with one another. Add new animals and update the boat. Maybe make scenes similar to GMR where we help a stranded camper. I think that everything can always be improved and be made better. There are no rides in Walt Disney World that couldn't be made better than what it is now.

I think doing what japan is doing to their jungle cruise the night cruise aspect, could really perk up that ride! give the animatronics some sprucing up maybe add some more animals and it could really be something special! Now while the ride is a staple if they don't redo it or try anything new during this refurb for all intensive purpose they should remove it. As in its current state the ride is dull, outdated, and covers a massive amount of land that could fit a real nice e ticket.

YES! I hated "New Management" especially since I am one of the few that LOVE Tiki Room. My daughter and I went on like 3x last time we were there haha I have a Tiki buddy =)
