New AA now in Pirates this weekend?

[PeeplMoovr]

Forgive me, of course, if this has been posted. Couldn't find it in a search.

I hit POTC this weekend for the first time in a few weeks and noticed that the Pirate whose leg dangles over the bridge has been changed. He's now different from the leg up, and blows into a jug to the music.

When did this happen? Was I on some sort of strange trip when I witnessed this?

I also think another AA was added to the ride, but I have a bad memory. Even from week to week.

Thanks for any info.

That sounds very strange. . . :lookaroun

That is strange, and the weirdest thing is most people wouldn't be the foggiest on the change.So why do it? Someone please verify.

I thought he was always blowing into a jug?????????

 

[Moustronaut]

ditto. He was doing it the last two or three times i've been there over the past two years. At least I thought he was blowing into the jug. Or at least drinking from it.

That would be interesting to hear if they actually do that.

It's hard to see because of the angle, but here's the pirate with his leg hanging over. You can see his jug (which I believe he's drinking from.) The image was taken in May 2004. The ride was empty that day and since we had not only the boat to ourselves, but no one ahead or behind us, I took the opprotunity to snap some photos.

Hope that helps.

I always thought he was blowing into that jug...but I guess you could get drinking from it too. ah who knows

Same Pirate that I always remember seeing....

He remains unchanged. Faulty memory... it happens.

Doesn't sound new to me.... What that pirate is doing is a matter of interpretation, but his leg has always been hanging over. It's one of the things to look for when you ride, you can see his hairy leg and the overall detail in the AA's.
