POTC smell is missing.

[Jordan Crocker]

On my most recent trip I noticed that potc smells different after the drop. It's almost like a flowery smell. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'll be there in 30 days... I'll keep an eye, er, nose out and let you know.

LOL - flowery and POTC don't go together. Wasn't it closed for refurbishment recently? Maybe they did something to it. I'll be there in July and will check it out if I remember. Can't wait!

isnt the smell just the water

It was a perfume cloud from the lady in front of you

I've never really noticed a smell on POTC despite reading about it numerous times on here.

I only smell the water when I go on POTC, didn't notice any different of a smell when I was on it Monday night. Will see tomorrow when I go if I notice anything different.

I know what you're talking about. It hits you in the pirate ship fortress bombardment scene. Sometimes it's missing from Disneyland too. I always assumed it was the fog. Sometimes, it's super foggy and wreaks in there, other times, very little fog and no smell.

The headless wench in the auction scene is really atop a huge perfume bottle and her head is the stopper. Without her head, flowery perfume wafts through the interior of POTC.

Headless??

 

[MaryJaneP]

Headless??

Perhaps we are misremembering a previous thread/photos about a headless wench in WDW POTC.

Things have gotten worse than I feared!

I went a few nights ago and didn't smell anything different.

Rode it twice yesterday, it smells pungently like wet cigars and old men.

I'm sorry, what do old men smell like? I apparently didn't get that memo. Now I'm worried.

Dust, farts, and musk.

Dust, farts, and musk.

I did not know that. I guess a trip to the department store is going to be necessary. I hope they sell those fragrances at the perfume counter.

Spoiler

I can probably pick up some of the dust at home.

The smell most people associate with Pirates is the one I associate with Splash Mountain. The row of paintings towards the end of the Splash Mountain queue is where I think the smell is by far the strongest. I have noticed the smell in Pirates a few times, but I still always link the smell to Splash Mountain.

It is probably called, by its scientific name.... Mold and mildew!

They did add scents during the recent refurbishment. But I assume you mean that musty water smell.
