We reported earlier this month that one of the most recent additions to Disney’s ever increasing list of “live-action” movies slated to be produced is a version of Jungle Cruise which will star none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Jungle Cruise is set to begin filming in Spring of 2018 and will be produced by Dany Garcia who is the co-CEO with “The Rock” of the duo’s company Seven Bucks Entertainment.
However, it looks like their involvement doesn’t stop with the film. Check out this piece posted on The Rock’s Instagram account earlier today:
The Jungle Cruise is one of Disneyland and Disney World’s much-loved attractions despite its dated appearance. This is due large and in part to the hi-jinks and dead pan humor of the skippers piloting the boats who bring a chuckle to many a Disney visitor and makes it one of the parks busiest attractions. However, it would seem the ride is going to get a bit of a re-think with The Rock and his partner collaborating with Disney Imagineers to re-design the Cruise in conjunction with the movie’s release.
As of going to print, we don’t know much more about what these changes will involve as its early days and details are limited. Readers are encouraged to keep following along at Chip and Co. for the latest in Jungle Cruise news and updates

That muscle-headed moron and money hungry Disney executives, better not mess up one of the most loved Walt Disney rides in Disneyland. The thought of then changing an already perfect, and still popular and loved ride, just to promote a new movie, makes me sick. Hopefully, that would make it some temporary change, like Jingle Cruise, which also isn’t anything impressive. If it isn’t broke, please don’t fix it.
