New [&improved?] POTC

[DramaQueen]

so what does everyone think of the extreme makeover WDW is giving to our beloved POTC?

i'm kinda torn. I mean I'm glad they are incorperating things from the movie [especially my beloved Cap'n Jack], but I really hope they don't hcange the entire thing, I mean POTC is classic! And even though it's not entirely politcally correct, I still love it.

so what do you all think?

Same here. I love the movie, but I'm afraid the ride won't be "classic Disney" anymore. I really hope they don't screw it up.

I feel the same. POTC is a Disney classic, and I kinda don't want the ride to change. But I'm also excited to see how they put Jack and Barbosa in there. That should be awesome. I'll be good though, Disney knows how special POTC is to the parks, so they won't ruin the ride.

i agree and I hope they know how special POTC is to the parks..........

I agree. POTC is a classic attraction. I always remember going on it when I was young. But, on the other hand I think that its good to update certain parts of the attraction to tie it in with the movies.

I think it's overdue. I mean, look at Small World. They re-did it, and I think they ended up with a better ride.

I agree, its nice and sparkly now! i think they can make the animatronics better in POTC so I am glad they are fixing it up.

 

[swshgrl#20]

i think that they should fix it up a lil bit but keep it the same mostly b/c as yall said it is a classic

 

[Lil_Tink]

WHAT??????? They should leave it the same

 

[soccerfreak_08]

[2HOT2touch]

Oh okay. I have ridden it before I just didn't know what the initials stood for. It is a great ride. It is pretty old though.

You all know that all they are doing is adding in 3 Captain Jacks and a Captain Barbossa. Nothing much will be changed. I wish they did do more. I am fifteen almost sixteen and have been riding that ride since I was less than 2 back in Disneyland, then switched to WDW. I wish it could truly be called a water ride. I sometimes feel there are a lot of rides that are WAY past their prime. I love them nonetheless though.

We rode it when I was like six. It is about time they changed it..

Yes, they are adding Jack and Barbossa, but they are also redesigning the special effects (i.e. fire, water, wind..) they are going to use updated ways to make it look more realistic. Also, I have heard that some set pieces will be updated.

Even better then, I was getting tired of the fire scene.

 

[Maleficent909TL]

I think it's a great idea. I think that it will satisfy those tourists who ride it just because they liked the movie, and it'll be good to have it updated. I think even the Disney classics need a spruce every once and a while. I hate to say it, but you've got to know that there are people who think it's way too dull and too out-dated, so they don't ride it again. So POTC deserves so TLC, I think.

 

[Florida_luvr924]

I'm warming up to the idea. The "fire" looks really fake in that one scene and I'd love to see some of the movie incorporated!! Looks like, for me, the pros are now outwaying the cons.
