Pirates of the Caribbean- yet another film, any more damage to the ride?

[HMF]

As we all know the 5th Pirates Movie came out yesterday and I just want to make sure that Disney has not added any more movie tie-ins to the ride. (New Villain in Waterfall etc.) Can anyone confirm?

Nothing changed.

First weekend box office is coming in under projections so I seriously doubt any changes will be made in the wake of this one.

 

[HMF]

Nothing changed.

Thank god!

Still projected to bring in around $250 million worldwide on its opening weekend, so I doubt anyone in finance is chalking it up as a loss.

I knew I made the right call waiting a few weeks.

Yeah with overseas it should still do perfectly fine.

Reviews are pretty bad though and certainly won't help.

Cars 2 opened before Carsland and they still added it to the park, just saying.

Yes but Cars Land was in development LONG before Cars 2 came out.

 

[MuteSuperstar]

Cars is so perfectly suited for merch sales it's pretty review-proof. And of course the attraction itself was a home run and will continue to be even if Cars 3 tanks (unlikely).

Exactly. I'm pretty su re that Cars merchandise alone is a multi billion dollar industry.

Carsland was already well under construction when Cars 2 came out.

How is this news or rumors? This belongs in the general discussion. Typical negative attitude from hmf.

I've ridden PotC since 1983... 34 years. I don't see where anything got ruined by the change made to connect it with the movie. In fact the AA's are very impressive other then that there is almost no change to the ride in context at all.

I'm guessing they might pull Captain Jack Sparrow...

Holding a solid 32 on rottentomatoes... not looking good for the home team.

I wouldn't go that far but if it removes the non-senseical storyline and all the other contrivances, I will take it.

I'm up for a change. I like the animatronics but a new script would be welcome.

i agree the only effect that ruined some ambiance for me was the mermaids and they are turned off.

 

[Kman101]

I actually liked the creepiness of the mermaids in the water. Too bad the effect itself sucked. I sort of miss it actually.

Giant walls of water and a ship with things that look like pointy teeth on the bow appear in the Shanghai POTC ride and the new movie.
