I respect everyones opinion and it is a classic and that's great and I guess I should take my own children up for them to make there own decision but I would rather bypass the treehouse and head to the jungle cruise.

I think I will have to check it out the next time I'm there. A couple of my friends went through the treehouse with somebody who had been there once before and was convinced that there was a ride at the end. On the one hand, it is cool that they thought Disney would go to that lenght to theme a queue, but on the other hand, the Treehouse has become a bad joke to them. I think it doesn't really explain itself well to first timers, and they don't really know what to expect, which could cause bad reviews.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost OK, here's the difference between the two, not counting the theme. Swiss Family is many tiered. You climb a few stairs and look at a scene, then you climb a few more stairs and see another. Tarzan seemed to be straight up with very little to see and stopping meant holding up the people behind you. I'm not in great shape so by the time I got to the top I could hardly breath. Needless to say, I didn't enjoy that part of it. So my vote is for Swiss Family. I know this isn't a vote between two attractions but it means that I like Swiss Family. I don't go every time but about every third time I make the trek up the tree.

I've been wanting to go, but my mom, who is my usual trip buddy, can't walk the stairs. Since 'm flying solo next week, I'm going to head up there.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Wait, I'm confused...I thought DVC was *for* the SFT, then saw that post indicating he prefers Carousel to stay the same, yet then I saw his thread where he wants to update it...ack! What's his story?? LOL <(Continues to hum "Swisskapolka"...) > LOL!
