I know why there is, and it was certainly more normal for the time as a lot of people weren’t going to multiple Disney parks period. Not to mention, I never said that it had to be a full replacement of everything. It could still be a pirates like ride to scratch that itch, just different. It’s not sacred or anything imo is what I was getting at
So why did they build it?
Ok, transform a relatively intact WDI classic with a loud modern glorified advertisement for the POTC movie franchises. not that all the other versions of the ride have not been affected by the movie franchise at all.
Nobody protects the universe of energy…just the idea that that park in particular should maintain a cohesive theme…
I am aware of that. The point I was making is that a lot of people use the inferiority of DCA's Tower of Terror to it's Florida sibling as an excuse for changing it into GOTG:MB and Florida's Pirates is almost universally known as inferior to Disneyland's version because of the circumstances surrounding the development of the Florida version which initially wasn't even supposed to exist.
It’s ok, not many people did know about GotG. And with the movies, cartoons and comics, now many people know them.
Yet they all still remain non-krispyTHere are glazed and unglazed donuts at the Krispy Kreme…a donut for everyone
Yeah, if the model they showed is the final version that they're building, it didn't look like it had places for stops. Even the section that juts out at the end (probable "through a door" sequence) doesn't look like it would facilitate a full stop.

usually the replacements make the parks more like a ride park and provide one more attraction that I can’t experience with my mom.
I think Marvel was a great purchase
Exactly…
It should be absolutely without question, for all of eternity and forever more untouchable.
That isn't really a fair assessment. MK's is indeed shorter but the backstory and governing logic are completely different. In the DL version you start in New Orleans Square ride through the Bayou, encounter the talking skull and splash down into the grotto sequence after the treasure cave you go through a transition tunnel that takes you back in time to the Caribbean in the 18th Century where the majority of the attraction takes place. After you pass what is now Jack in the Treasure room you go up the waterfall which takes you back to the "Present Day" and you disembark your boat and return to New Orleans Square. The idea in Magic Kingdom is that you are already in the Caribbean and the entrance to the ride is actually the building the Wicked Wench is firing at in the attraction there even used to be firing mist cannons on the roof of the facade to indicate this. The queue was originally designed so that you could even hear the Spanish soldiers warning about the pirates and reporting for duty to open fire on the pirates. Sadly, in 2006 when they shoved Jack in, they decided to blast the "Pirates Overture" music from the queue of the DL version into the WDW queue, and it sadly has remained that way ever since. The boat in the distance in the load area is supposed to be the pirate ship "Wicked Wench" you see later. The Grotto scenes in the Florida version are supposed to exist in the same time period as the town scenes unlike in DL. and the rest is pretty straight forward. Sadly, since WDI is headquartered in California and are mostly familiar with the DL version and incorrectly thought the Florida version was just an abbreviated version of the California version with the same backstory so a lot of these details especially with the exterior cannons and the queue are hard to discern since the Imagineers of the time mis-understood the premise of the Florida incarnation.
The only functionality of those scenes is just because of their iconography. I actually would have not included them if I was starting from scratch. Also, a major factor for the abbreviated caves was because at the time they were still expecting to build WRE eventually.
