Reports indicate that the boats have been causing damage to the temple, and a piece was broken off. The scrim and netting are Disney’s current solution. However, our sources indicated that at this time, there is no plan to do anything more for prevention or repair.

In 2021 and 2022, Jungle Cruise was updated to be more culturally sensitive and diverse. These changes are now reflected on the menu of Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen.
