The latest change has torn the heart out of the attraction, spat on it, then given it to a first year pre med student. It is simply downhill from here for this old, hodgepodge "attraction." It is time to replace PotC at MK.

NOOOO I like it. I just watched the new Red Head changes and like it. Can't wait to see it in person.

Still fine by me, even after the slight redhead change. To be honest whenever I though about POTC I always thought of the attraction as a whole. The music outside as you approach, the wonderfully themed queue that winds through the building, the skeleton, the storm, the drop, the pirate ship battle, the burning town, the hairy leg, the redhead in fishnets and the dog being tempted by a bone.
So now there's a slight change to one scene I don't see how that can ruin a ride forever? The only real explanation I can fathom would be that the line "We wants the redhead" is the only reason that you rode it? I mean she's still there, still speaks and is still part of the story. Unless the main thrill of the attraction was just one scene consisting of a lady being sold into the sex trade where she has no say in the matter, then I don't really see the issue? But it's all about opinions and if that's how you feel, then fair enough.
POTC stopped being POTC when they added Jack Sparrow. With each update it gets worse and worse. It was never my favorite attraction but it was still a must do. Now... I guess I'd see it if the wait time was low.
Is POTC still an E?

When I explain my love for WDW to people the theming and the queues is my main point. The rides are great and it's hard to pick a favorite but they are so good at building the anticipation with the lines. A lot is missed when you fast pass a ride sometimes. Don't get me wrong...I love a good fast pass and I'm not saying waiting 2 hrs for a ride is fun. But a 20 minute wait as you meander your way through the queue???? Kinda awesome.

Nice size of ride to make another Frozen ride. Seriously underrepresented at the MK.
And people wonder why Disney ignores the uber fans.

Well, when your second favorite ride of all of Disney was the Pirates of the Caribbean since you were 4 years old, and then they change up an original concept iconic scene that was indeed your favorite scene...then yeah. It is like taking your favorite book and changing the dialogue in your favorite portion. It hurts. Starts to make you wish they would have never touched it, but now since it has been degraded and the story has been changed (like in a horrible bad movie sequel), then replacing would be a better way to go about it you would think. However, as much as TDC changes rides to...well..not exactly greater things (JII, Maelstrom, SSE...), I don't think it would turn out too pretty to be honest.

Even the scenes that Mark Davis designed for that would have to be changed in our Fragile PC World....

As soon as a pirates group comes forward and claims that the ride is racist and degrading to them and their profession, then it will officially be the end. People are so weak and pathetic today. If our great grandfathers were here to see us today they'd smack us around.
and I am sure our grandparents, grandparent's said the same thing.
" I can't believe these people today. Back in my day you could own a human and only white property owners could vote."
Things change. Deal with it or invent a time machine. It is an attraction in a theme park, not a history textbook.

Sorry you were offended. Make an appointment at your therapist today, hug your service dog, go outside and shout at the sky, then enjoy a nice unbruised, Shaman-blessed soy latte made by a bleeding-heart liberal whose name is Sunshine who doesn't identify with either gender.
