Jungle Cruise Updates

[orbitalpunk]

After hearing the "not so hot" spiel from mousepod's recording, I thought i should ride the jungle cruise since its been a while. Also CP told me about how the baboons were relocated to where the gorillas were so I wanted to take a picture of the baboons in there new location with the gorillas. A.K.A. - Monkey Bonanza. Quick note. I ended up sitting on the wrong side. so maybe next time. all i could get was a shot of the mama gorilla holding up here baby. well its something i guess considering i was shooting on the wrong side, between two people heads and thru the railing at night without a flash. anyways, I was pleasantly surprised with some updates to the ride that i never new about. for example, piranhas!! yay! I liked this. Right after the hippos and there ear fetish, there’s a moment where the skipper warns about bubbles being a sign of danger. Yeah, smelly danger says I. And i was hanging over the rail thinking, "oh yeah, ooooo.. bubbles. ok. next.." but then piranhas were scrimmaging up from the water. it was a nice and effective surprise. There must have been 30 of em. The next update, to me anyways, was the new and improved head hunter trader at the end. AKA - Trader Sam. This guy is FREAKY. It was the first time i felt a animatronic was actually looking at me. And only me. I got some nice shots of him. But man, what a look. Wooh.

By the way, the parrot that squawks at the entrance is still not back in pirates. He’s been gone for at least 2 weeks now. So I doubt he will be there during the LOT meet. So cherish you memories of him now. Squawk in peace hommie :cheers:

Awesome pics. I'm glad we were able to turn you onto the updates. Although we might force you to surrender your AP for not visiting JC in so long. ;)

I love that pic of Trader Sam! Awesome. :)

I saw the updated Trader Sam too. He's FREAKY looking.

I just wish the Jungle Cruise skippers could be a little freer with the spiel. The guy was so bored that he wasn't even talking to anyone. Just leaning over the wheel and staring out the front.

I know, I know. I'm so guilty. I've just been spending so much time on pirates ever since i heard about the update. I've been covering pirates every single weekend now and I still don’t have everything i want captured. Mainly due to trying to overcome impossible technical difficulties. I think the cast members are on to me too. And im so sure the guy/gal who monitors the infrared cameras notice me because sometimes I have tripod setup in the boat. hahaha...

After Pirates is not a priority anymore, i can move around. Although I have neglected Inoventions for years. I do admit that one. But can you really blame me? I ASSIMO still there?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Yup, ASIMO is still there. Totally worth the visit to the evil Innoventions.

Well, your photos are completely worth all of the time you spend getting them. They are BREATHTAKING.

Monkey Bonanza! This is amusing me deeply.

I should tell you that I totally dig your DL photos. I ventured to your website on mousepod's recommendation. It quite rocks.
