It would be an easier route to use the CGI animated TV show footage to do a new ride. It should still work with the old simulators. I am all for an upgrade.

This would likely give a boost to the attraction's attendence numbers and increase re-rideability. I think the vehicles themselves are fine, but a new film would be welcomed, IMO.

They may have figured out a way around the problem, I don't know. But essentially todays motion simulator technology is much farther advanced than the platforms pioneered by WDI that not upgrading would be noticed by todays more savvy audiences.

I'll believe it when I see it. I actually hope its not true. I would prefer the add to the area not change it. I like the use of the old trilogy better than having something from the new. Although with the new Clone Wars series coming, I would doubt it. I sort of agree with Matt. I’ll believe it when I see it. I actually hope its not true.

It is actually sourced. That's why I treated this one with a bit more seriousness. This isn't coming from an unnamed source who is probably a bus driver or Jungle Cruise skipper.
