POTC parrot?

[Figment632]

I know this was removed in 2006 but does anyone know why?

 

[glee]

Maybe it just weathered and didnt look good anymore. It does look a bit tacky for disney. :animwink:

SO while the ride was down why not replace it?

From my understanding he did not really fit in with the story that was being added to POTC. You can still see him at WoD.

Last time I was at WOD, maybe a few weeks ago, he had been removed and the layout of the boy's room had been changed slightly. That whole middle fixture was replaced. Not sure if he has been brought back, but as far as I know he is gone.

I think it looks a bit cheap. Maybe disney thinks it looks better without it.

That why I said replace it with a more advanced one.

[KevinFlynn]

So he's gone now???

He was gone when I was there in January, yes.

 

[MillerPoppins]

Bummer...I always thought he was cute.

Yep. He didn`t fit the new theme.

The DACS wiring and power supply are still behind the wall.

I don't get it the theme hasn't changed they added 3 new characters :shrug:

Yeah it has. Tho old theme was considerably more jovial. Since the refurb the attraction has taken on a much more serious and dramatic feel.

I guess. The should have just made the bird more serious.

Seriously? The bulk of the additions are Jack Sparrow AAs -- a character who more or less served as the comedic relief in the PoC films. Aside from the waterfall effect, the bulk of the ride, especially at WDW, is a bunch of goofy drunken pirates and animals singing Yo Ho, Yo Ho.

I'm pretty sure we've still got a talking parrot out here at DL at the entrance too, so I'm not buyin' that story...

 

[marni1971]

so I'm not buyin' that story...

Don`t matter. That`s what WDI said. Quote me on that one.

 

[MKCP 1985]

I'm not buying it either. The parrot was fine for the new theme. The POTC movies themselves have a monkey and . . . a parrot type bird. http://arbroath.blogspot.com/2009/09/pirates-of-caribbean-parrot-attacks.html

It isn't going to burn my biscuits either way. . . but I liked the little green guy.
