Rumor Pirates Of The Caribbean "Refurbishment"

[Brer Panther]

Lemme guess... What’s next? they’re gonna re-theme the Mansion to Coco, IASW to tangled, Tiki Room to Moana, the Country Bears to Woody’s Roundup...

Don't give Disney any ideas.

Love the idea of restoring the original ride... but a complete reimagining after? No. Unless it’s maybe a WDW exclusive thing and they keep DL’s the original.

Agree! Pirates are bad, not good!

Retheming Pirates...how do I feel...hmm.

Wait So THEIR Adding Joe Biden To The Pirates Of The Caribbean And Moving Jack Sparrow And Redd To The Hall Of Presidents??

If they redo Presidents, and retheme Splash and Pirates at the same time, that's the main E from Liberty, Frontierland and Adventureland.

If they remove Sparrow from the ride, I promise to never ride again.

SJW Disney is out of control.

The movie is what put Pirates back on the map, how quickly they forget.

We can only hope that they introduce some honesty into the scenes. Citizens did resist pirate attacks, but they didn't run away from brooms. Pirates also didn't have a fetish for chickens. Usually, it was a short, brutal career concluded by death.

Couple things to think about... The Pirate is Jack Sparrow. Sparrow is a character in a movie. What is depicted in the ride is Jack Sparrow not Johnny Depp. The original movie is still loved as much now as it was back then. Adding that character to the ride hurt nothing, in fact it gave it a back story. Making pirates swell guys with high morals not capable of buying brides is the fantasy here and the one thing I object to being changed. It didn't do anything for the ride and it just distorted the original depiction of pirates as evil, cruel and lawless individuals. I know of no one of any age that left that ride determined to buy their own red head. At least not for the purpose of cooking and cleaning.

As far as the rumor goes... what a crock! Disney hates spending money on useful changes so they aren't about to do it for no indication of a possible return on investment.

That would be an uplifting fun ride wouldn't it. Violence and death with an added touch of humor.

Pirates 4 grossed over a billion worldwide, and was a success.

Pirates 5 grossed nearly 800 million. Still respectable for sure.

Rotten Tomatoes is a joke, and critics have been against Depp movies for a while.

They're just holding the movie quality against him.

A few things. First off, you're reading way too much into a joke post. Second off, Hall of Presidents is not the E-ticket from Liberty Square, Haunted Mansion is.

Dismissing the Pirates "rumor" because it seems to be patently untrue, the timing of all of this would be layered anyways. Biden going to the Hall of Presidents will take place in 2021. Disney hasn't announced it, but that's the precedent. In 2016 they closed HoP around inauguration day and re-opened it in late December. I'd have to look it up, but I believe the 2008 turnaround was quicker.

Splash Mountain's refurb isn't likely to begin until late 2022 / early 2023.

Got it. I was on a 15 min break at work and was just skimming. Also forgot about Haunted Mansion for a minute

You want realistic pirates in a theme park ride?

I want entertainment, not social commentary. Do you want to recon all of Disney to remove all villains? Or are people who tread morally grey areas more appropriate? I don't think Nietzscheland would draw many visitors, but Disney is heading that direction.

Because his username is Universal themed Disney will never find out Brilliant.

There's no way Disney would go to the trouble of bringing back all the figures and props that used to be in the Treasure Room.

If you go back and watch video of what it used to look like, the current scene looks very empty in comparison.

Great great, can't wait. Is this before or after they add Final Fantasy to Space Mountain and Banjo-Kazooie to the Country Bears?
