Pirates ride closed?

[demilu]

Hi all, so sorry if this is already a thread. Could not find one.
I was looking at wait times in MK today, since we are just a few days out from our own trip. And it appears as if Pirates of the Caribbean is closed. Is this temporary or is it shut down for maintenance for more than just a day?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

It was closed for refurbishment, but reopened around 9/26. But it's been shut down for mechanical problems on a daily basis ever since.

Was able to ride on 1 October in the afternoon. We were in line and it had technical problems for about 15 minutes before restarting.

I guess the Pirates are extra rowdy after their vacation and need to be corralled back into their positions.

I missed it in September. Knew it. Dealt with it. Regretted it.

I rode it today at about 2 pm and it basically was a walk on. Stand by said 20 min. Ride looked great!

We were there last week and rode it 3 different times, all walk on.

I rode it several times last week but it was down for a while each of the days I was there.

You'll have to do Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial (or whatever it's called) then! I've not done it (yet), but I watched a YouTube to see if I was interested in it. The guy playing Jack is pretty decent. If you squint your eyes and tilt your head you could almost convince yourself it's Johnny Depp!

As for the ride, they better get the kinks out before Easter! I'm planning to ride!

It reopened on 9/25 (unofficially). I was so excited because that was the last day of my two week trip. We basically walked right on however that is where the good luck ended. We made it as far as the mermaid skeleton and then stopped. We sat there for an hour and then had to climb over two boats to get out. I think it still has a lot of bugs and breaks down frequently. Hoping it will be up and running next trip!

We rode it this morning.

Today We got all the way up to the loading gate, and the gates
would not open! We had to stand there and watch as all the empty boats kept floating by. They had all kinds of people trying to figure out what the problem was, and finally after about 20-30 minutes they fixed the problem and loaded us all on the boats. A lot of people had given up waiting and had left by that time.

The cast member said it had been up and down all morning, and that this was a daily problem.
