I think we should replace the entire ride with a boat trip on Lake Michigan. Get rid of the jungle and replace it with rich people playing golf and drinking martinis in Traverse City Marina! It could be multiracial and multi ethnic. No servants should be depicted.
Ahhhhh.. the cancel culture once again at work! Heaven forbid “someone’s feelings would be hurt by seeing a savage from the jungle” — instead Lets put an antifa member wearing his facemask & carrying a baseball bat or lets show a BLM member throwing bricks thru the front windows of a department store” — this is absolutely ridiculous! This is a ride, for pete’s sake, my daughters who are teenagers now, have ridden this since they were babies and NOT ONCE, did it scare them or offend them in anyway, shape or form. But then again- I did my responsibility of explaining to them about Trader Sam, the “FAT” hippo, the Rhino sticking his Horn into the explorers behind, etc… good luck people, the best is yet to come, I’m sure!
Lame! Another “woke” move that needlessly waters down the vision, history and legacy of this iconic place for no good reason. This is a fantastical, fictional character. It is not based on any particular nation, race, culture whatsoever. This is pointless and over the top, like so many such moves.

Voice of reason
People are really insensitive…
You cannot just make fun at Headhunters…
Think about all the Headhunters who went on the jungle cruise, and we’re insulted over the last 50 years.
