To those there today - is POTC open?

[deetman]

I didn't notice anything major. Poor Carlos' wife's flower pots weren't breaking though. Don't be cheating!

I heard reports of a new auctioneer. I stared and stared but couldn't tell.

Fog curtain with Davy Jones (hey hey - wrong one) much better and visible front and back from quite a distance instead of barely from in front. A few add one here and there of seaweed drapings. I didn't get to finish the ride though. Maybe tomorrow.

"Don't be CHICKEN", isn't it?

Thanks to the many guests heading straight for the merchandise, we were lucky enough to be on the first boat this morning!! I did not notice any big changes. I did notice the seaweed draping and I am glad the fog curtain is working well again. By the time we got off the ride, New Orleans Square was jammed with people and all sorts of different lines. It was crazy busy!

Thanks for the update! I'm headed there early tomorrow .

"Don't be CHICKEN", isn't it?

Since I was a kid, I always thought it was cheating. I never thought of a grown woman calling her husband a chicken. Poor Carlos!

My husband thinks I am crazy (well that is a given) and when asked his opinion he said I don't know, chicken. I guess I am odd person out

CAPTOR PIRATE
Pipe the lubber aloft, matey. Where be Cap’n Jack Sparrow and the treasure, ya bilge rat?!

CARLOS’ WIFE
Don’t tell him, Carlos! No, no, no, no!

(RIFLE PIRATE shoots at her. She screams and disappears behind the shutter.)

RIFLE PIRATE
Hahaha, scuttle, ya bilge rat!

CARLOS (Getting dunked)
No! No! I’ll talk! No! No! No!

CAPTOR PIRATE
Take him aloft again, matey!

CARLOS’ WIFE
Be brave, Carlos! Don’t listen to him!

(RIFLE PIRATE shoots at her again, laughs.)

CAPTOR PIRATE
Where be Cap’n Jack Sparrow? Speak up—or do you fancy a swim with Davy Jones?!

CARLOS’ WIFE
Don’t tell him, Carlos! Don’t be chee-cken!

(RIFLE PIRATE shoots at her again. CARLOS gets dunked.)

CARLOS
I am no chee-cken! I will not talk!

(He gets dunked again and gurgles.)

Chee-cken it is! Thanks for clearing up the mystery!

I never knew about that site! Thanks for sharing. I will have to spend a some time playing around

I rode it this morning and listened to Carlos' wife carefully. I did kind of hear chee-cken.
It is like those long you mishear the lyrics to and sing them that way your whole life! I just can't stop.

The wait was less than 5 minutes in the first hour then grew to 30 mins the 60. It is looped all over the place in NO square and over the bridge and back again. If you want to get from the river to the restaurant or shops it is very frustrating.

 

[ashley0139]

I went yesterday. The app said 50 minutes, the CM at the front of the line was saying an hour, and it took 30 minutes from when I got in line to when I was on a boat. The line looks long but it moves pretty well.

 

[WonkaKid]

Rode Pirates around 9:15 this morning. App indicated a 25 min wait-time. Closer to 10-15. Tried to ride it later -- no go. Lines were out of control, looping like a roller coaster throughout NOS. Not sure what the actual wait times were but the app varied between 50 and 60. Going again Weds. Hopefully it'll be better then.
