worst.skipper.ever.

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.

I have to be honest and say that I've never taken on a ride on Jungle Cruise where I enjoyed the spiel, it is inherently unfunny to me*, but there are definitely skippers that are much worse than others.

* I still like the ride a lot, just not for the banter, I just try to tune that out. Kind of like if I were deaf I could enjoy the Electrical Parade.

After listening to his spiel, I would have to say that "The first sign of danger" was really the second sign of danger...
