Pirates-Opinions and Feedback on new additions

[nezy]

I just saw Pirates -I know that there are some new additions including Capt. Jack Sparrow and Davey Jones-
does anyone have any feedback? Do you think iyt takes away or adds to the tradtional classic. POC is my M-I-L 's favorite ride-I don't think she would like the straying from tradition.

(I tried to search, but that didn't seem to work and I also tried looking at like pag. 10 and 12 but that wasn't helping me either.)

I was skeptical about the changes, but after going on the ride about a week ago, I loved them! Capt. Jack looks so real, you would swear Johnny Depp is there somehow jumping from scene to scene. It's awesome!

Oh and the Davey Jones addition is COOL!

I don't think the changes are significant enough to really upset a purist that much. My friend and I were a little disappointed with some of the music changes. I dislike the new agey tomorrowland sounding music in the beginning of the ride (just doesn't have the same spooky effect) and my friend dislikes the movie score in the ride (which doesn't bother me because they have kept the original as well).

My biggest pet peeve which may be pretty insignificant to some was the queue wait. I felt that they added a lot more lighting (again, not as thematic and spooky) with lanterns and chandeliers.

As others said, the Davey Jones effect is great and the Jack Sparrow appearances are cute. I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is something for new and old fans alike now.

I'd say that the Jack Sparrows are very lifelike.

Well 2/3. I felt like one of them was not as effective as the 2 others. But that's just me being picky.

I love the music.

I don't think anyone could THAT upset about the changes

We rode POC about a week ago as well and my family liked it. I agree about Capt. Jack, he is so realistic. I think that the changes really made it more current and the animatronics and scenery are more advanced.

Enjoy!!

Is the talking skull gone or not gone? If it's gone, I could be THAT upset about the changes.

After 4 visits to WDW I've finally been able to ride Splash Mountain (events kept conspiring to keep me away) - I remarked to DW that as much fun as the Brer' Rabbit theme is Disney could just have easily built the ride around a Pirates theme - that would've been a very cool ride. Well, they're both really cool rides just the way they are now.
