Jungle Cruise changes

These aren't big changes; just ones to the spiel.

Some lines from Disneyland and brand new lines will be added and/or replacing others.

Inspiration falls' "inspiring others to go" line will be reworked slightly. As will Chief Name, who rverts back to being called Trader Sam.

Debuting in the middle of November; the changes wont be really apparent to most people just proper Cruise enthusiasts.

I was there in October and I noticed that the Chiefs name is now Trader Sam, it threw me off a little.

Ok, got back with a few of my friends, and yes this is confirmed. My homeboy, Chief Namee is no more. Trader Sam is back. Any 'potty jokes' are no more. They've made some unofficial jokes that a few of us skips have coined, official. That is all.

I truthfully don't remember if there was that wide of a change in them. They felt, and looked old, to me, and I’m not sure how much WDW could do to refurbish the Jungle Cruise ride to the extent of a Haunted Mansion....

Best Regards,

From what I've heard we were supposted to get beginning of '08, it was supposted to be the big refurb that went with the new mansion refurb. We were supposted to get updated animals, more gorillas, a new animal addition, pirahnas, and new engines for the boats. As far as I know, they redid the dock, swapped FP and standby queues, and are slowly phasing out the older engines, and now changed Chief Namee's name back to Trader Sam, and that's about it.
