"Where do we go next? Splash Mountain? Tomorrowland?"
"Jungle Cruise"
"Jesse hardly ever gets down here. Jungle Cruise it is."

I am so sorry.

This could be the worst Jungle Cruise spiel I have ever heard.

And here I was worried that since I was out of Benedryl I'd have trouble sleeping. No, I think I'm all ready for a snooze now.

It's just like Apocalypse Now, but with less laughs...

Except HE seems to think there is something to be laughing at!

about 6 and a half minutes too long...

the last 20 seconds was exciting though.

OMG.. thats pretty bad. I think i've heard him before. I recognize the laugh.

I love getting on the jungle cruise just before the rides close. If they see that the audience are all adults, they have a oh so slightly more adult cruise. The funniest segment i heard while on the cruise was when we got to the monkeys, just before the elephants, hmm.. or was it just before the lions den, well they're a bunch of monkeys on these cliffs, and he kept pointing out how the monkeys were just standing there, and not moving making hideous sounds. and he was making this god awful monkey sound and pointing out how these monkeys are glued to the rocks just sitting there all day making these weird noises. and he just kept making the monkey noises over and over and over. It was so funny. Just had to be there.. Anyways, anyone wanna share some Jungle Cruise stories? Im sure ya got em.

Sorry abgout the crappy skipper MP. That sucks since you don't get to go on very often!

My favorite trek on JC was on a Passholder Night (remember those?). Basically, once we got around the first bend, the skipper just shoved the throttle to maximum and left it there for the entire ride and just pointing to key highlights as we roared past: "tiger," "hippos," "Schweitzer Falls," etc.

Hmmm, maybe NA and I will skip the JC!

"Oh look. Look at that. Look over there.

hahahahaaha"

That totally sucked.

That was awful, and yet, I've heard worse.

I've probably been on JC about a dozen times since moving to Florida, and out of those, I probably had two or three acceptable skippers. With that kind of ratio, I sometimes wonder if there is any hope for this attraction. The nostalgia geek in me adores the ride, but suffering through a bad spiel is the pits. This is why I hardly ever go on.

For what it's worth, the last time I was in CA, I had a very good skipper indeed.
