Jungle Cruise at night

theBIGyowski · Post by **theBIGyowski** » Jun Wed 22, 2011 1:26 pm

did this...although it was more dusk than night...and I got video of the back side of water

once I get back from my impromptu work trip to Texas I will get everything uploaded

FWIW...Jungle Cruise was much better at night...I guess it was just prettier and a lot of the flaws due to age or 70s technology are hidden in the dark. I'll definitely try to make it a tradition to ride at night.

You captured the backside of water on video?! Cool! I think you are right, the charm of the Jungle Cruise increases when you can't see the technology, or lack thereof, quite as clearly in the later hours

I had to admit I like it better at night than day, too. I've never really thought of the reason why, but to me that does make sense: the night hides the flaws...

I've done the cruise at night once and I have to say it was a little creepy for me. I have this thing about "dark water" - I guess its scarier b/c I don't know what's down there.....even at disneyworld

Heck, you should worry what's in that water whether it's night or day...

We really need to try this. In all the years we have been to WDW this has never crossed our minds.

LOL guys, I know! I guess its fear of the unknown. I heard there are alligators and hippos in those waters!

The reason they had to use mechanical alligator and mechanical hippos is that the real alligators and real hippos refused the job due to poor water quality...

Every time that we go to Disney, we always ride at night. It is awesome! The guides are always funnier and the darkness makes everything looks much more "real" (but you can still see). I highly recommend it!

Ever done splash mountain at night ? We saw the parade going through frontierland and it just brings out the best in the ride, i love it! It's true that most things at disney are better at night

Isn't it just the best?! We've seen the parade from there before as well. Great time to ride, magical
