Should MK replace pirates?

[DisneyNittany]

I'd like to see a longer intro, like the DLR version, but still stay unique to MK.

NO.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Why not? I see a lot of people say no but why? Do we really want an inferior attraction to be unique at MK?

The Shanghai version is cool, don't get me wrong. However, POtC in MK at WDW is such a unique classic entity all on its own. It's one of the last remaining replicas of Walt's own pieces that we have left. I feel if they coat it with something else, we will lose a bit of Disney with it.

Old technology? Yes, but inferior? No. It uses AAs that are still quite fascinating to this day. SDL uses screens/projections (something to me that is actually becoming old all too quick in its own way.)

But that's just my opinion.

When I first saw the title of this thread my response was, "Are you @%$!# crazy?!?!?"

It is inferior to every other PotC iteration there's no disputing that.

At this point I'd prefer a wholesale replacement than more changes to promote the movies and/or make it more PC.

Why not give the Magic Kingdom something unique?

 

[kvandmx]

The MK Florida show building would be way too small to accommodate the Shanghai version anyway.

 

[TROR]

Replace a large cast of audio animatronics, a rarity in Disney theme parks now, with a bunch of screens, something every theme park is producing? HARD pass.

 

[mouse_luv]

No, just nooooooo.

 

[BasiltheBatLord]

They're two entirely different attractions and should remain that way.

 

[Surfin' Tuna]

No way! First, I think the MK version is much closer than the original idea of the attraction than SDL is. Secondly, I can't understand a thing they are saying in the SDL version. Why would we want that here?

 

[Susan Savia]

No!

Because they would obviously keep the dialogue in Mandarin!

No they shouldn’t.

Not that the current one shouldn’t be better.

The time and cost of building the SHDL version in the MK would be better spent elsewhere.

It’s a very nice ride system though.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

The only ride MK Pirates should conceivably be replaced with is Western River Expedition.

Otherwise, ours is a divine ride in a fabulous subland. Should DL Pirates be removed because DLP Pirates is better? Fix it all up instead. That is, remove Johnny but leave the redhead, and reinstall the fountains.

Aaaaand with that statement I'm going to need your address...

The Magic Kingdom without POTC is like having swiss cheese without the holes. True, I'm not a huge fan of all the changes over the years (adding Sparrow, the pirates chasing women and more recently, the pending removal of everyone's second favorite redhead) but it's still POTC. Classic Walt!
