Another classic Disney theme park ride is getting a makeover.

The company announced on Monday that the Jungle Cruise one of the original attractions to open with Disneyland in California in 1955 will be revamped to remove offensive depictions of native people.

As Imagineers, it is our responsibility to ensure experiences we create and stories we share reflect the voices and perspectives of the world around us, Disney exec Carmen Smith of the companys Imagineering unit said in a statement .

The ride includes scenes depicting a spear-wielding tribal war party, native dancers and a character named Trader Sam who sells shrunken heads.

This is not a re-envisioning of the entire attraction, Disney imagineer Chris Beatty told the companys D23 website . Its the Jungle Cruise you know and love, with the skippers still leading the way, and at the same time, were addressing the negative depictions of natives. So thats one of the scenes were going to go in and change.

The ride will also have a cohesive storyline instead of just being a trip past a series of scenes along a river. It will play off the characters who are chased up a pole by a rhino in the current iteration of the ride.

Each one of them will have their own story and cultural heritage, Beatty said, adding:

Theres a birdwatcher, an entomologist, a wildlife painter and a photographer, and each one will have a different reason for being on the expedition. And, of course, they did one of the things youre never supposed to do, which is leave the boat.

That boat will be depicted in a different scene, taken over by some of the local wildlife:
