Disney World Jungle Cruise Boat Sinks with Passengers on Board in Mid-Ride Mishap

It was cool enough for me at ten, but now they ruined it with PC, taking away the blank gun used to scare off the Hippo.

Not every attraction needs to be a wild thrill ride or based on the latest movie.
Not that it really matters to me as I will never be there again.

Nope...no remake, yet.

FTA...

...Jungle Cruise is set to be adapted into Jungle Cruise the movie this summer. It will star Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt and comes to theaters July 24....

It’ll probably sink, too.

[Fledermaus]

Sink....in 4 feet of water? Most rides are on chains and tracks.

OMG, I remember that now. I was 8 years old. We went to Disneyland 2 or 3 times a year.

That's Emily Blunt? I didn't even recognize her.

I'm sorry Emily, marry me!

They used to equip each boat/skipper with a real Smith & Wesson nickel-plated Model 10 38-Special.

It was used for hippo attacks and to signal the base camp in case of mechanical issues.

[The Antiyuppie]

Oh, the huge manatees.

[TigersEye]

Did the Pirates of the Caribbean get out of their section and attack it? lol

It’s not about Tom Cruise and a happy jaunt through Scientology?

I love "The African Queen" perhaps even more so because Rose and her brother were Methodists, as I was raised.

Rose reminded me of the old spinster Miss Fannie from our church back then. I was too young to understand the dynamics at the time but I later found out from my mother that Miss Fannie ruled the roost from the second church pew on the right hand side of the congregation. She could make or break whatever Minister was assigned to the church.

“Tokyo Disneyland to close through March 15 over coronavirus”

I know, I saw that after posting. Maybe I’m a week or two ahead of things.

[GreenLanternCorps]

I've seen that film before...

The alligators at Disney are cute with big eyes, and make funny, snappy comments as they eat you.

Japan has got the Olympics. They’re terrified that’ll be canceled if they don’t nip COVID 19 in the bud.

You must have never done “It’s a small world”.

[NonValueAdded]

Ya board the SS Titanic, ya takes yer chances. Arrrr

I wonder how Disney keeps gators out of their waterways. Rule #1 in Florida, if there’s water, there’s a gator.

You must have never done “It’s a small world”.

I was a young teenager, visiting the park with parents and siblings, when that ride broke down. We were stuck in that dammed thing for over an hour. The boats stood still but the song and mechanical characters were working just fine.

I loath hearing that song now. Not good memories.

As an aside, my clickbait generic email account host (Windstream/Kinetic) had the headline: "Guests evacuated as Disney World ride suffers catastrophic malfunction."

Seriously, all the journalism classes and schools have been taken over by ex National Enquirer writers.
