Originally Posted By bwanabob It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Jungle Cruise were ripped out, IMO. We still have the original DL version. As long as they actually replace it with something that isn't a spinner, I'll probably be OK with it.
Originally Posted By partyhare I like the Jungle Cruise, but I always notice on the map how much space that one ride takes up. As long as the DL version sticks around, a cruise-less Adventureland can get a big boost with a couple of new rides. Even though they put the Aladdin ride there, I think Adventureland can be so much more.

Originally Posted By ubiwrksfan Actually Jungle was one of the first to have it in WDW. Think about it. The whole entire theme of Adventreland has changed.

Originally Posted By bwanabob I can probably accept most changes to Adventureland, unless they completely remove the Bwana Bob's cart. I would not be happy. If the jungle theme was being removed, that would make it seem more likely that the Tiki Room would go too.

Originally Posted By partyhare I think the room the Jungle Cruise takes up could make space for a couple of rides, including one more thrilling to give Adventureland big boost to draw the people who run to ride the mountains first thing. Also, a 'fun for all' original ride can fill the rest of the space to give all guests a thrill! As for Pirates, it just seems away from the rest of Adventureland anyway, so it shouldn't be affected if new stuff goes in. I don't mind the JC at all, but I do think Adventureland has so much potential that can be reailzed if the JC space was free to redevelop.
Originally Posted By pheneix >>>If something is cruel to a group of people for entertainment, it should be taken out.<<< No, they simply should not ride it. The ride has been open for 30 years, and only now has it become a problem for a small group of people. Honestly, I have changed my life around 9/11 enough, why do it even more?
Originally Posted By brotherdave I guess the Treehouse might close with the Jungle Cruise as well. Ordinarily, I would have probably fluffed off the possibility of the JC closing as just another rumor. After all, it usually has long lines most of the day. But I remember another popular water based attraction that ALWAYS had long lines was rumored to be removed about 10 years ago. Everyone laughed when it's rumored demise was mentioned. Funny how that lagoon has remained empty for so long...
Originally Posted By OrlandoBoi So, let me get this straight. A minority of people are upset at PotC because in the wake of 9/11 the skulls inside the attraction offend them? ALL of US have skeletons inside us too. Does that mean we should exterminate humanity to appease these crybabies? Oh and TS-there is no JC at DLP.
Originally Posted By coral_barks Okay, I need some clarification. Are these "people" taking offense at JC's portrayal of jungle-dwelling tribes as warmongering headhunters? Or merely the fact that there are skulls in the attraction?
