I love that you post all these rides from places many of us have never even heard of. Thank you. This looks great and shows the speed/capacity of an unmanned boat loading/departing quickly. I'd imagine it's a similar capacity per hour as the JC is. The animatronic ducks are so realistic. There's some unique ideas like the hippo's tail wiggling over the spout as water comes out. ( If you've ever been in a hippo enclosure like I have, you've seen exactly what they really do and it's horrifyingly explosive. ) A little too much open space, tighter turns and more concealment would be nice, but no complaints for sure. Even a live koi in the water Damn. The lions were definitely far beyond what's at Disney. Impressive. The giraffes were a good touch.

Based on the footage, the theming looks no where as immersive as DJC at any of the existing parks. Although, I will say, I am a sucker for a slow riding boat animatronic/dark ride. Two things that puts this over D's JC are the actual fish swimming in the river probably either from releasing fish into the ecosystem or birds dropping eggs into the water flying overhead or landing in the water, and the animatronics look very well done. Also, it looks much more spacious than the rivers of the JC. I like the big open water parts.

Tacky - No immersive feeling, you can see other rides and other boats. Without the guide it lacks the humorous element of bad jokes. The thought and effort that goes into a Disney ride just isn't there. Knockoff is the correct term. Better P L E A S E! Il n'y a aucune chance que cette attraction trash soit meilleure que Disney!

Yeah, and one thing that is cool is you don't have to sit through some skipper's stand up routine/audition just in case there is some sort of talent agent onboard. You can actually enjoy the ride itself. I would like to see it at night.

Someone been on jungle cruise or worked on it. Loved the sounds and real fish and ducks. Jungle Cruise has no animal sounds. Did it ever I'd go. I love the funny skippers, but otherwise same animatronic ride to laugh at.

I feel like I have been on the ride somewhere, and I have never been at a French amusement park. I remember the rhino, monkey, lion, and flamingo parts. Is this ride also in an USA park

It's not just a knockoff, bit a blatant rip off of Disney's Jungle Cruise. No original ideas for the various tableaus/scenes. Just copying Disney directly.

I’m always surprised at these knock-off rides and how much they can put in terms of scenes. Though I’d take the Jungle Cruise over this any day
