Anyone else worried about the new Pirates?

[notnothin]

Change happens .. accept it before it destroys you!

 

[Sleepy]

As long as the don't mess with my dirty footed pirate, I'm cool.

Are you referring to the pirate who has his hairy leg dangling down from the bridge? He was always my favorite pirate. I hope they did not move him. I'd be upset.

Is The Johnny Depp Look Alike Going To Be At Wdw Too? Or Just Dl?

Is The Johnny Depp Look Alike Going To Be At Wdw Too? Or Just Dl?

According to the article, DL came up with the idea and found some "OMG WONDERFUL" people to play Jack Sparrow. So WDW said "HEY! We can do that too!" and scrambled to find some appropriate people without nearly the actor base of California. So apparently yes, though the writer of the article claims DL doesn't think WDW's will be as good.

edit for typo.

WDW held tryouts last month for a Jack Sparrow look-alike. I've heard he'll be in the MK for a short time, like only a month and a half. But there's always hope for an extension.

I posted the details on the Tell No Tales message board, but don't remember them all right now.

I LOVE THE YO HO SONG TOO! IT JUST WOULDN'T BE DISNEY WITHOUT THAT SONG!

I agree 100%.

My fiance was disappointed and bored with the pirates ride when we went last year. (He found that he LOVES haunted mansion though)... So he's really looking forward to the changes when we go in Aug.

 

[Little Monsters]

I can't imagine that they would take the yo-ho song out as almost everyone associates it with pirates and my DS loves it!
Hopefully they wont change it too much but I too like the idea of Jack Sparrow being added
Maybe make the WDW a bit longer like the other parks?

 

[Sazzo'sMommy]

We extended our trip by two days, so we could ride POTC on opening day and meet "Jack Sparrow"! Hope he is good!

 

[4mykids]

We will be going the week of July 9th and cannot wait for the new POTC. But, I will hate it if they change the song! We do love Capt. Jack at our house!

 

[Blueberry]

We welcome the changes and the removal of the politically correct 1997 changes. Who ever came up with the 1997 changes should be tied up and dunked in the PoC well instead of the mayor....

They ruined the ride and now it is returning to its former state and including Captain Jack along with some really good changes too.

Cannot wait for September to see the changes and Captain Jack....

"I gotta keep breathing...because tomorrow the sun will rise...who knows what the tide could bring!"
- Chuck Noland, 'Castaway'

Completely Off Topic:

I noticed one of your signature lines and saw that your attribution is to "Castaway".

The film is actually named "Cast Away" (it has a double meaning when spelled as two words that way).

Not a big deal, except if the quote is special to you, it makes sense to give it the best attribution.

I can't see them removing the whole song . . . after all Jack said in "Black Pearl" that he loved that song and was going to teach it to his whole crew, so it wouldn't make any sense to take it out!

That was exactly the point I was going to make.

The song is one of the things IN COMMON between the ride and the original movie.

Heck, its the FIRST THING we hear and see in the first film.

The FOG... then the bow of a ship... then we see the girl SINGING the "Yo Ho" song.

I LOVED that in the movie the first time I saw it.

 

[tmt martins]

I think the movie paid great respect to the rides in it's details.

I see no reason why they would now change the thing to take all that away by making the ride not appealing .

I can't wait to see it WHEN it opens on the 1st and if the rumore of JD showing will only make it that much better.

I would like to see in the castle sceen of the ride a big squid come and attack your boat like in the new movies' battle sceen.It would scare the begeebees out of everyone.


And Sleepy I'm not sure if it was MK in Oct or DL in Feb but that was the first thing I notices was the big hole in the bridge and the Hairy leg missing.I think he was just getting an early rehab.You could tell the were already doing small rehabs on some of the Animatronics

 

[jiminyfan]

to see how they incorporated the characters from the movie into the ride. I liked the ride references in the movie. I know my entire family cannot wait to see the ride the am on the 7th and then go see the movie that afternoon. I'll report my thoughts upon my return on the 10th.

 

[bigjellyroll]

I'll be there on the morning of the opening too, and we will be home from our trip on the 9th too...Guess we'll see who gets on the boards first to report! ...probably some lubber that takes their laptop and reports from a resort on the night of the 7th. Curses!

What's the old saying " If it ain't broke don't fix it."

 

[msgrimm23]

[Thinktinknpixiedust]

I am looking forward to the changes as long as they don't take them as far as they did with the Tiki room, that was alot to far for me!
