According to the Orange County Register, Disneyland will spend over half a million dollars to replace the Jungle Cruise's animatronic tiger scene.
What's Happening:
- Jungle Cruise is a classic ride at Disneyland. Soon you will see a new animatronic tiger scene, but it comes with quite a price tag.
- According to city records, Disneyland has filed building permits valued at $600,000 with the city of Anaheim to replace the tiger structure.
- The permits were filed in August and will update the electrical, steel frame, footing, and cement plaster rocks on the tiger structure.
- Last November, the infrastructure crumbled around the Tiger. The scene was then updated to include a wooden fence that blocked broken elements until repairs could be done.
- The Jungle Cruise will be closed for refurbishment from September 16th through October 3rd.
About Jungle Cruise:
- On July 17th, 1955, the original Jungle Cruise opened at Disneyland Park and was based on the True-Life Adventure films.
- They changed the style of it in the 1960s with the help of animator Marc Davis when they added more humor and drama.
- Fast forward over the years, more wildlife was added as well as more jokes.
- You never know what to expect on your trip down the river.
