How does that make sense? Do you have additional information on this?

Edit: That was unfair of me. Let me rephrase. I've been trying to beat EVERYONE over the head with the positives of Next-Gen for the last several months.

No, there's always Universal, Sea World and Aquatica. That's where I'm spending most of my Orlando time these days anyway.

Thank you, I hope not. I do have some lovely memories from the old days, so it'd be a shame to stop going all together. I'd get over it, but a shame nonetheless.

All I recall seeing is "It won't be that bad. It'll be good." Nothing much more.

Perhaps that's because every time I say something positive, someone replies with an unsubstantiated rumor, thus allowing for several pages of freaking out over nothing.....
Look closer.

Define "vacation packages"... Would that be anyone staying on the resort? DVC members? Would you have to buy everything at once (room, tickets, maybe dining plan?) to get it?
Also, one thing I'm really curious about is whether you can reserve multiple parks in one day, if you plan to park hop.

There's more to Fastpass+ Then advance vacation packages.

Agreed. Nextgen has so many possibilities.
And the Pirates queue looks more compelling everyday.

^^ Really? Are you joking? Please explain what you have seen. I think Next Gen has potential, but I haven't seen it used well yet.

I think it is on damouse blog. It appears new content is going to be distributed throughout the queue. Funny thing about that is when I was a kid it always seemed to me there should be more happening as you passed through the queue. It always seemed too quiet and incomplete. As though part of the story was never installed or had been removed. Now I am sure some will say that is part of the story or the charm of the queue. But I think most will be happy with more than what existed traditionally.
IMO of course.

I think that that is definitely the case with some people, including myself, because that was the way the queue was intended. I like the quiet eerieness of the queue because I think it does add to the story told in in the ride, up until you go down the waterfall and pass the skeletal pirates on the beach with "Dead Men Tell no Tales" echoing around you. To be honest, I don't know too much about the Next-Gen plans for the POTC queue and I liked what they did with Haunted Mansion but if they were to touch Marc Davis' eternal game of chess, I would be angry.

I dont think I like the sounds of this, looks like APers may get screwed in this deal.

As far as I know there aren't any plans right now to add interactive elements to the Pirates queue....can anyone with more information confirm this?

Maybe theme is a better word than story then; I won't dispute anything Marc Davis said, the man was a genius. My overall point is that the POTC queue is immersive, there's a consistency in it where the quietness of it carries through the caverns at the first part of the ride until you enter the battle between the pirate ship and the fort. It's the same way as the Tower of Terror, Jungle Cruise and Everest queues, among others, lend something to the ride and all create a small but effective prologue for each ride.

Other than the queue path mods have we seen any evidence of interactivity being installed? We could just be over reacting. *shock*
Also, have any of the interactive elements at Big Thunder Mountain been turned on?
Perhaps they abandoned the idea.

Thunder's Queue plus is still way down the line. And Once again, as far as I know there are no plans to add any interactive elements to the Pirates queue.
