Ranger Woodlore and Humphrey will be doing the "Humphrey Hop", instead of the villagers. Trader Sam will be replaced by Waldo, the Spirit of 3-d and Bean Bunny. Instead of a skipper, each boat will play a different Night Ranger song and it will be called "Rockin' Jungle Cruise". God, one can only dream of the merch tie-ins.

Night Ranger's "The Secret of My Success" blasting music gives everyone a new holiday memory, rockin' style! For our Jewish friends, the apes can play dreidel, and do the wedding chair dance. So many missed opportunities in the Jungle right now...

I've had the honor of meeting him .... so .. I understand his demented, twisted mind. ~ How about a topic X-Man ... Toon the whole D*mn park! Not just the classic attractions that has any resonance to anything on a realistic, tangeable feel for us human beings .... If toons is ALL people want - GIVE IT TO THEM! And lets see if Disneyland means anything to anyone beyond a toon adventure by 2020!

And general satisfaction of everyone is much more profitable than the extreme satisfaction of the minority.

If he was interested in "general satisfaction" - He would have done a simple dark ride to the, then, future Jungle Book movie .. and maybe a parade or stage show on "The Happiest Millionaire"!
