They also have a foreground, middle ground and background in the 3 mountain peaks. Of course, as soon as you see a train going up the lift hill it totally kills the effect :lol: The only time I remember hearing about a structure being specifically designed to 199 feet to avoid the blinking...

Hmmm... I read somewhere (maybe it was here?) that in order for the movie to be considered a "success" it had to gross 80 mill for the opening weekend. Factoring in inflation and the like, that would put it at about the same level as the biggest Pixar releases. Actually, it was Jim Hill, so...

There's also one in Downtown Disney that has the service people are talking about :) I really want a couple, too. You can also try Sid's shop in MGM, they have vintage posters. I think I saw some random ride poster in the collection when we were down there, but I may have been hallucinating.

I always have to go to MK for the first day! Even if it's just for a couple hours at night, I have to see the castle and ride the Jungle Cruise and the HM (and PotC, when it's not being refurbed haha). The first MORNING, it's EPCOT, all the way :D And to Rockin Roller -- Have fun!!

Thanks for the update! WOW talk about SMOKE. I wish the old-fashione POTC stuff had been on sale 2 weeks ago when we were down, the Jack merch screams "HOT TOPIC" to me for some reason :( When we were down there we saw a couple versions. There was one that was stiff and youth-sized, i think...

The most exciting thing was MOVING MOUTHS! Oh, they need more of these.

Haha it's from The Wonderful World of Disney. There's the intro with Walt showing the model to a Disneyland ambassador or w/e her title is, and then they have footage of pirates sailing in on opening day, attacking the fort, killing the guards (yep!) and getting into the ride. Then, there's a...

That makes sense. Suggestive, but not too scandalous for Disney! :D

Yep! If you have the PotC: CotBP DVD, in the special features there's a ride-through from DL from yeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, and it shows it, including clear audio of the pirate :)

Oooh, that explains the autographs I saw! Thanks :)

The pirate in front of her used to be holding a lacy something and wondering where the girl went. She was hiding from him in the barrel, presumably naked. It was PCed up :)

Yes, amd the movie in particular I remember quite well, it having been one of my favorites when I was younger. And with a big budget remake in the works, I would think they'd want to keep the Swiss Family thing chugging along... but that's another story. The difference between Tarzan and the...

When we were just down there, we were at the Boardwalk one afternoon and saw that they had a DVC model unit open, so we decided to take a look... BAD IDEA haha. Anyway, the [very nice] man who attacked us as soon as we got in the door tried very hard to get us to go do the tour & whatnot. One...

I see that side of it too! Part of me is excited to see the movie incorporated, and part of me is worried. Mostly, though, I can't wait to ride it and see it for myself :)

When you walk into the store, look to the left in the corner, there's a pic of Sid and a few autographs made out specifically to him. CHer's one of em, I think. I don't know whether he's real or fictional, but... yeah.

I actually agree with cloudboy & T-1Million on this. While I love the POTC movie(s, hopefully), I love the attraction as well. Soemthing that I always loved about the ride was the way it was told about the PIRATES, not the townspeople. It was as if you were in on the joke, a part of the...

Just came back from a trip 5-24 to 5-31, and we had a blast! The crowds weren't bad at ALL Wed-Fri, and the weekend was still manageable, we just got to the parks at opening, did our "must-sees" while it was quiet, took a break in the heat of the afternoon, and stayed in the parks til almost...

The first time I saw the book was actually last week when we were down there (oh man, it wasn't even a week ago, but it feels like it's been years!!! :( :( ). I thought about picking it up, but figured I'd wait and check it out on amazon when we got back. It's got pretty mixed reviews. I'd...

According to wdwig, you can now book your trip until june 25th and still receive the free dining plan! [/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [/INDENT] I just went on the Official Disney Site and tried to book the package and it wasn't letting me, so maybe you have to call for it?

Great pictures!! If you go to the official site for the ride, www.disneyparkspirates.com , they have a little video preview of some of the changes, it's lookin' pretty cool :)
