Jungle Cruise Chat

[IndyJn511]

Hey everybody!

I was just wondering what everyones favorite part of the Jungle Cruise is. Or perhaps your favorite part of the queue(sp?) is? Anything to do with the jungle cruise? I need a fix. :monkey: :monkey:

[swagdaddy]

More monkeys! Other than that, the ride is the image of perfection.

:monkey: The jungle cruise needs more monkrys. :monkey:

[Star Speeder]

They need to fix the three old charging alligators.

The jokes are absolutely the best part. My all time favorite joke... "Here we have Schwiezer(sp?) Falls, named after the great humanitarian, Dr. Albert Falls"

Cracks me up every time.

The que is my favorite part, with such rich atmosphere. I love looking at all the "old" black and white photos of the crew and skimatics of the boats...the chess board...and the old crackly 30's music. Best part of the ride, I think. To bad there's never a long line to enjoy. Ohhh..now I want to go!

Has anyone ever seen it when the Disneyland cats walk around in the Jungle Cruise?

Cruise shut down

I read on the Disneyland web site that the Jungle Cruise will be shut down for rehab work starting Feb. 28th. My wife and I are taking our 4 year old down there the second week of April. My wife has been to Disneyland only about 4 times but has never been on the Cruise and she was looking forward to the ride so she wasn't very happy when I told her it was sheduled to be closed while we are there. I know the work is to get it up to snuff for the 50th celebration. So what are the chances they will be doing a soft opening in early April????

Monkeys, monkeys, and more monkeys!

My favorite story about the JC is that Walt used to time the ride. The first time he rode the ride it was only 4 min long. He complained to the manager of the ride that the operator just rode through the ride with out stopping. Walt explained that the ride should last 7 min. Walt came back a week later and rode with every JC operator and timed each one of them.

I keep an eye on my watch now. 7min every time.

Was/Is this an E-ride? If it is not it should be.

Yes, Jungle Cruise was an e-ticket from the time the e-ticket was introduced, up until the ticket system was abolished in the early 80s. Today, many don't consider it an E-Ticket becuase it isnt a FastPass ride, and isn't one of the rides people "rush to" when the park opens.

However, I still consider it an E-Ticket. Big-budget, major attraction, must do that I'd pay a couple bucks to ride should "pay-as-you-go" ever return.

I love this ride....every part of it, the queue and the jokes that are told while your on....i'm so excited they brought back the gun shooting...

[IndyJn511]

Oh, heres a fun fact... somewhere in the Queue, there is a book that contains all the skippers and the date of their first tour.

I think that book is outside the ride at the entrance, where you could "buy cruise tickets"....?

Don't forget all the animals that weigh over 5000 pounds and can jump over 20 feet. They're the only animals in the jungle that can do that. Isn't that amazing?

And watch out for Junior shooting off his mouth again. Not to mention the lions watching over that poor baby zebra. Can you feel the love tonight?

I love the spiel, and am looking forward to seeing it in May with the guns brought back. Either way, you're going to come out a head.

Yeah, the guns are back! And it is so refreshing to hear them as I walk in the front gate. I almost started to cry when I heard them back the first time.

[Tigertail777]

The bengal tiger of course.

but I love trader sam at the end too. He's having a special today: two of his heads for one of yours!

[The Mad Hatter]

I love that bird in the queue area also. i just stare at it as long as i can.

One of my all time favorites was at the trasition from the Hippo Pool to Headhunter Territory where there is the pointless "S" turn next to the "skull"pture where the skipper informed us of two baby hippos that were somewhere under water and at the first turn when the boat bumps the rail he said "There's one!" and when the boat hit the second curve "There's the other." It was sooooo funny and I haven't heard it since. Also the toucans that used to be a six-pack are funny. Another one is the hippos that try to "charge the boat but can't afford to, I guess they lost interest. Hey, you gotta give me credit for that one." Ahhhh....good times. :monkey:
