This summer, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster reopened in Disney World after a lengthy refurbishment with some small touch-ups. We’ve also seen some rides reopen with a few changes, although most changes made during refurbishment aren’t something you might even notice. Recently, Disney closed Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom for refurbishment, and just after the ride’s reopening yesterday, we got a sneak peek at some of the little touches Disney added to the ride.
