Goodbye To Jungle Cruise Trader Sam - Disney World Removed Him / People Mover Testing & Train Update

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW From what I’ve heard , most the jungle cruise changes will happen while the ride is open . Meaning at night stuff will be altered and next operating day we’ll see the progress . At least that’s how I’m understanding it . What’s the next thing from the attraction to be removed ?

[@dottiegillespie8067]

Please keep us informed Mr. Woo!

[@cindylynn]

I think you're right about those jungle warriors with spears . . . Disney will say, "best remove em!"

[@magiccheeseball]

I can ask my brother he used to be a Disney imagineer there and he still is friends with some and gets inside info

[@magiccheeseball]

@@RS-cd9cf I only mentioned him because he asked what they were moving from The jungle Cruise next and my brother could find out. Also Adam cares about people that aren't famous he answers people's comments all the time including mine. Also my brother well known in the music industry everybody knows him and my father was famous in the 50s and 60s not that it matters if someone is famous

Back in 1972 when I was working as a "trammie" bringing people in the park, the parking lot had 12,155 parking spaces at Disney World. A big day at the park would be about 60,000 to 65,000 people. There was a special phone number that "cast members" could call to find out the number of guests at any time.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Very cool info

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

That is cool

[@Emplordxiii]

I work at Universal Studios Hollywood and supervisors and Managers have access to a text system that notifies them of how many guests are in the park. The busiest it ever got was 45K(The infamous day back in January 02, 2017 when the park closed to capacity).

I personally find changing the Jungle Cruise absurd and disgusting just to appease a certain group of people. Let's talk about Splash Mountain. I've never heard of Princess and the Frog. I took one look at the cartoon, and got my answer. I wanted to gag. They should NOT change Splash Mountain. It's a classic and certainly not "racist."

[@drummernick34]

to be fair, princess in the frog is a great movie. It definitely deserves its own ride. As much as i love splash mountain, im glad it at least has a worthy successor

[@stevesworldofwanders]

I like her joke about the waterfall... "it's okay, we'll go over it later". I hadn't heard that one before. She had good delivery. Thanks Adam for the fun video.

Welcome to the DVC fam, Adam. My favorite Jungle Cruise skipper quip was as we prepared to enter the tunnel. There's a fairly horizontal, toppled column and the skipper asked if anyone had ever seen an ancient Monorail beam. Must have been totally off script.

I realize that some of the stuff from Walt's time may seem corny today but that's part of its charm. What's next, gutting the Haunted Mansion, might offend!

[@JamesBlackburnExperience]

Thank you Adam for another great video of this place. A lot of us cannot travel to these places and your videos help us feel like we had an actual visit to the park.

[@eldredge24]

I think they will have to reopen some of the closed attractions/shows and increase ride capacity (no closed rows/seats) before they start increasing park capacity. If you add more people, but have no place to put them, existing space and rides will be over run. The Studios is a perfect example. Think about how many people those shows "eat" throughout the day. With no shows, they will all be waiting in line for the rides. Just one man's humble guess.

I'm pretty sure the sanitization measures they took before you got on the Jungle Cruise are similar to the ones my bus operation uses. Once the sanitization spray has been used, people shouldn't be around it for at least 10 minutes. Taking the boat around the river was probably a good idea to kinda air out the smell of the spray.
