Frumpy said:They don't shoot to kill the cute little Hippo anymore either, they shoot up in the air and scare him (her?) away.. it's not as tragic for all the little hippo loving guests that way :animwink:

DisneyGuyJake said:Quick question about the old school JC (There's no school like the old school). Who was in charge of keeping track of the Blanks for the guns? Did the individual skippers keep track of their guns or was everybody reloaded at the same time? What kinda blanks are they?
Also, Did anybody ever have a ride where the skipper had forgotten to reload the gun?

Sledge said:Sometimes you can see the skippers reloading the guns themselves once their last crew unloads and they are waiting to reload the boat with new guest.
Apparently the shots fired also have special meanings. When I was at Disneyland last time it seemed like they fired off more shots then usual (I was on the dock waiting but you could hear the shots from the jungle) and I heard one of the CM say "They just fired (x amount) of shots." and then they all rushed around. Turns out that one of the boats broke down and they had to go get it and haul it out. I asked about the different number of shots and different amounts mean different things.
One doesn't mean anything.
Two means everything is normal and ok.
Three means the boat has lost its power and is stalled.
Four shots is for emergencies such as a fire or other serious condition.
Five shots isn't used.
Six shots means a boat is derailed.

CTXRover said:They added back the guns a while ago. I think I remember seeing them back as recently as last December. Unfortunately, I think they are pretty cheesy as the sound of the gun going off is simply over the speakers on each of the boats. I've heard Tokyo's JC guns are the same way. In contrast, the skippers at DL's JC got guns back too, but they are like the old guns that made a loud bang. Much more convincing that way. Either way, I was glad they loosened up a bit from the "everything must be politically correct" era the parks went through a while ago. If now they could only change back some of those scenes in Pirates![]()

agreed. I thought the changes were dumb. THEY'RE PIRATES, PEOPLE! What? Now the bad guys have to be role models too? :veryconfumikeymouse said:But thats the way actual pirates were. I think better be historically correct than politically correct.
SilentWindODoom said:Man, I tell you what, don't care if it's prerecorded. They're shooting the Hippo again, and I'm so happy.:sohappy:
I went on three times last trip, and it wasn't the same without it. I kept watching the hippo he was supposed to shoot, and it was sad. This is great, and mayhaps this bodes well for a reversal of another change or two in Disney.
