There was middle ground to be had - add in Jack Sparrow, but don't re-do EVERY SINGLE SCENE to revolve around him. It is quite silly the way it turned out. They did spare one classic scene - the prisoners trying to lure the dog carrying the key. I'm surprised they didn't replace the whistling...

The red-head is now a pirate, who is shouting encouragements for them to sell the other pirates rum. And there is a line of pirates carrying antique-shop-like junk. I love POTC movies too. The original ride was an amazing and imaginative piece of artwork - and they sort of piggy-backed the...

Well, they changed the Pirates ride in favor of being "PC" again. No longer do they "kidnap,ravage, and don't give a hoot". The replacement scene should be accompanied by changing those lyrics to "we go antiquing, and enable problem drinking". At least they didn't add any more Captain Jack...

Thanks for another deeply insightful response. Thanks for speaking on behalf of all Disney customers, as you are clearly qualified and authorized to do.

I'm not proposing it directly to Disney through this forum, no. But I'm proposing it to fellow customers for their feedback and analysis. What is supposed to happen is that you all review my idea, and either argue that it is good, or argue reasons why it wouldn't work, or work as well as the...

Usually it's the young teenager trolls who attack the poster rather than discuss their ideas in an intellectual manner.

There are worse rides to be stuck on - last trip, we spent a half hour on the Nemo ride, hearing the same shrill, annoying bit of dialog over, and over, and over... at least Pirates is relaxing and peaceful. This trip, it was 15 minutes in the graveyard at Haunted Mansion - much better, but...

Our last 2 trips Pirates broke down at least twice for a partial day. I thought maybe I had bad luck, guess it's an ongoing problem?

Under the old system, our experience was we show up at 9am and see a 60 minute wait for a ride, get a fastpass that's within the next hour or so. I did notice that sometimes the 60 minute wait had a 75 or 80 minute fastpass, which I suspect was because they put a limit on the number of...

If FastPass was never tied to the queue times, then I logically should have occasionally come across a situation where I could grab a FastPass and get on quicker than the current queue time (ie, get on 30 minutes from now when the wait time says 60). It sounds like you guys who like it (and...

The FastPass never was quicker than the posted queue time, so I think the two were tied. I disagree on your assessment - I have been two times with FastPass+ and found it very annoying for a number of reasons: 1. Having to be at a particular ride at a particular time is annoying, I like to be...

Not to jump into that fight, but if you aren't intimately familiar with the Disney Parks, scheduling your whole day via FastPass+ isn't really practical. As for the way the original FastPass operates, maybe I was misinformed because I went during slow times of year (so the FastPass time was the...

I recall a few years ago that it would have a separate time for FastPass which was approximately the time you would have to wait - so if you show up 10am and the queue is 3 hours, it would have a FastPass time of 1pm (or 1:15, it seemed like there was a slight penalty for fastpass, but it was...

You don't really still have the option - if I show up 9am without a fastpass, it says 60 minute wait, and I go to apply for a FastPass+, it might assign me a 7:00pm time, or tell me that Fastpasses on that ride are all used up, sorry. With a hybrid system, I (having no FastPass+ reservations...

The way it worked before was that FastPass would essentially save your place in line - allowing you to do other things (potentially for $$$, like shopping) instead of being bored in the queue. People didn't understand why you couldn't have more than one (because you can't be waiting in two...

I read somewhere that they had a mermaid somewhere hidden, then made it more prominent and piranha-like (after Pirates 4 movie came out), then made it into a projection this summer. Anyone know anything about this? We did hear a female voice in the rocks towards the beginning of the ride...

I had lengthy talks with operations management last year regarding Fastpass Plus - the main complaint it resolved was people not understanding why they could only have one (classic) fastpass at a time. I saw families who didn't realize that they needed to make reservations for rides weeks out...

We rode the Pirates ride a half dozen times, in a futile attempt to find the scary mermaid I read exists somewhere. (anyone know??) Noticed they made some more changes to the ride last year. So disappointed they removed the classic gag where there are two pirates chasing women, then a large...
