Barker Bird and Jack the Monkey Meet 'n' Greet
Located in the old "House of Treasure" shop.
The Story
The old PotC
Barker Bird has made the PotC Fort's "ammunition closet" his new headquaters, and is holding tryouts for a crew so he can set sail on his next adventure. So far, he's found a first mate, the "fearsome" Johnny Scallywags, and
Jack the Monkey (from the PotC films).
Themeing
The themeing would be a continuation of the fort in which the ride is located. The walls would be the same kind of stone used in the fort, and the floor would be made of dark stained wood. On the outside of the door is a temporary-looking sign that reads "Open Tryouts". As you enter the queue, you notice guns and ammo sitting all over the place. Torches provide lighting, and there's a window looking out towards the beach (A picture, similar to the pirate ship at the begining of the ride). Throughout the queue are signs containg what it takes to be a pirate.
Characters
The PotC Barker Bird would be sitting on a ledge like he was before he was removed. He'd be a Living Animatronic like the Muppet Mobile Labs, Wall-E, etc, so he could talk and interact with guests in ways that most meet 'n' greet characters can't. Jack the Monkey would be a puppet held by First Mate Scallywags, who could make Jack communicate with guests by pushing a button. Around the characters would be more pirate-looking weaponry, and a box containing treasure as an incentive to join the crew.
