Happily, the insulting Under New Management is long gone, and good riddance. While I prefer the original, the HM Holiday is a smart use of a much-loved property to do a seasonal overlay, and unlike some, I've got no problem with the organic way Jack Sparrow was added into Pirates, especially as POTC is known as one of the most successful movie serials of all time more than as a theme park ride, these days.Hell no. The last thing we need is another attraction where the Movie Character Master Race lords itself over the Original Theme Park Character Peasantry. Executives keep thinking that's a "Having your cake and eating it too" deal for fans, but it's not. Just look at Tiki Room Under New Management, Haunted Mansion Holiday or the Jack Sparrow version of Pirates. Reducing Epcot's icons even further to "You are boring Tiki Birds, I'm a big cele-birdy" is just another slap to the face.
