The rumors I've read is that they are changing a lot of it, including the ride vehicles, adding touch screens to interact with the ride (sounds very much like Horizons had) and also be replacing a lot of the AA figures with the latest ones like Jack Sparrow's.

Other than that, I dont know how much of the ride will be changing

From what I've heaerd all the show scenes from the boy talking to the Japanese girl thru the rest of the ride, with the exception of the planetarium will be torn out redone. althought that does sound quite extensive for only 4 months of rehab.

that would be funny, but no, I meant the same AA technology used, not the actual same AA ;)

I read your post correctly. I knew you weren't saying Jack would be in it, but it just painted that pic in my mind. Coming out of SE singing Yo Ho Yo Ho and then a Siemans giftshop with POTC merchandise.

I am kinda ?. If they are going to put in new AA than are they just going to update them or are they going to put in completly new AA with a new "story" ( if you want to call it that)

Here's a piece I wrote about this back in April...

I don't think a stone will be left unturned. This is a big one, and I can't wait!
