POTC changes?

[Phroobar]

So when does this happen?

 

[Curious Constance]

I'm hoping never, but I'm sure it'll close soon. Probably when Splash Mountain is back up.

I remember the Goonies overlay in the 1980s. It hasn't been the same since they changed it.

That Sloth AA was the best part.

It was awesome how seamlessly they transformed the caverns into the underground maze leading to One-Eyed Willy's ship. It was as though the movie was inspired by the ride. The bombardment scene was better redressed as the interior of the cave with falling rocks.

been a while now, but whenever i was in dos i always felt like i was playing that organ where if you hit a false note the floor falls out

none of those doofy pirates were ever a match for her, auctioneer included...
she was the most powerful singular character in the ride til jack strode in

Rumor has it that this change will begin February 26th and be completed by March 18th.

This overlay also spawned a major motion picture that combined the greatness of both the ride, and the film.

Is the Goonies thing for real?!?!

If so, that is amazing! One of the most intriguing movies of my childhood!
Unfortunately, despite growing up going to WDW since probably 5 years old, I didn't visit Disneyland for the first time until 2003!

I liked the part when you pass the Goonie playing the organ and she hits the wrong note and you go down the second waterfall.

 

[wild01ride]

Oh man! I can imagine that would be incredible! Two of my favorite things: PoTC and Goonies!
So sad there are no HD ride-through's on YouTube! LOL!

I liked the Chunk AA near the end of the ride

Too bad it shook itself apart. They had to put in B-mode with a disco light.

if he hadn't been anchored to the foundation, we'd prob still have the ride today in goonie form...
yet, here we are, lamenting what could have been remembering 'disco chunk'

was, however, able to snag ma fratelli's beret before anyone got wise (shhhhhh)

I knew they put that figure too close to the boats. It was always that hat and the apple from the witch in Snow White's scary adventures that kept going missing. It looked weird in the final days of the ride where she was wearing a hologram hat.

Does anyone know if this is still the rumored time frame? Haven't heard anything yet and February is just around the corner.

It's not too late for them to change their minds. The 50th anniversary last year was a huge letdown with the exception of some updated animatronics such as the guy on the bridge pouring out his drink.

While WDW's is overall vastly inferior aside from the ship off to the right of the boat at the start of the ride and the waiting line (although the stand-by side is a bit lacking), I noticed many of their AAs were animated better than the DL version, even if some looked wrong. They also pump in awesome smells in the bombardment and fire scenes.

I could be wrong but I don't think anything's pumped in, I think it's just mold and mildew.
