They already threw enough movie stuff at the Plaza. If someone wants to see it done right go to Shanghai or Paris.

They did nothing substantive to the Plaza...Turned off the Fountain and scattered some junk about. It would be nice to have a substantial makeover...Little props aren't going to do it. The Shanghai version is brilliant... The Paris version also beautiful...

They also cut the equity actors who used to perform on the small stage. Would be nice to have live entertainment in the area. I’ve always enjoyed the pirate band that plays in New Orleans Square at Disneyland.

They’ve looked twice at lengthening the ride that I know of, and both times it got no further. I dare say the scattered junk is all Orlando will get.

At least they’ve tried to reduce the sensory overload mistakes of scene one. Even if the Mermaids weren’t cut by choice (twice)

YES! Build Shanghai Pirates from scratch and then turn the existing Pirates into a Moana boat ride.

Personally I’d prefer bringing over Shanghai Pirates to DHS and then removing all the movie elements from the MK POTC and leaving it as close to the original setup as possible. The two rides would be unique enough from each to work in the same resort.

I would agree...especially sine we have the crappiest cliff-notes version of Pirates... An overhaul of our existing Space Mountain to add effects etc, and a Pirates Mini-Land would have been a much nicer 50th addition.. Tron is fun, but it is super short...and there is nothing to extend the Experience… an End Of The Line club themed restaurant or additional attractions. The Original Space Mountain, while a longer ride, also had the speedramp exit and Home Of Future Living....which was like a mini dark ride attached to the end... Maybe if they had rethemed the Speedway, Starlight Ray's and the Tomorrowland Concourse to a TRON theme it would help feel like more of a net gain for the park instead of a ride plunked down....

A point on WDW Pirates, it's still an amazing ride, we're just comparing it to other versions that are better.

Having said that, it would sting a bit, but I would be on board with replacing WDW's Pirates with Shanghai's version.

Well what you really need to do is bring over Shanhai's Pirate's tech and mash it up with Frozen. Put it wherever, it doesn't really matter, maybe next to Tron just to balance things out a bit. I know the WDI spies on here seek out my amazing advice and will be putting this idea into motion in no time at all. You're welcome.


THIS IS A JOKE POST. DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

There was a (legit) rumor about using the Shanghai PTOC tech for an Indiana Jones ride. I think that would be a potentially great use of it.

As I've said before, I hope that tech isn't like trackless LPS in that it takes forever to be used in the domestic parks. Especially since the Shanghai POTC tech seems to be very high capacity which is really something new E-tickets should be.

An Indy boat ride with the Shanghai POTC tech would be absolutely incredible for DHS. My most wanted attraction.

Harrison Ford is a little long in the tooth to reprise his role...and the Shanghai Pirates is very film based...they would have to re-cast the title role unless it is a new story with a very old Indy...

I would 100% welcome a true Frozen ride in Fantasyland.

to each their own. i respect your opinion but to me subs is the worst ride in the park hands down, autopia is the 2nd worst. the amount of space they take up for the 2 worst rides to me, would be better served as a fantasy land expansion.

Oh wow... I absolutely love the subs! Still... can’t we use the space over at DCA? Then we are both happy! :)

Bring Shanghai here, build it on the expansion plot and put something else where pirate's is now. Why not its only money right?

Or, build an area Based on the movies, with a ride focusing on the supernatural aspects of the film (rather than the pillaging and plundering), and move the movie stuff out of the current ride?

Now you have a massively popular attraction based on Jack Sparrow, and a less popular, cohesive supporting attraction with the original.

It’s strangely somehow better than the little mermaid ride though...

Oh it's definitely better than the Little Mermaid ride. So is basically everything, though.

FEA isn't terrible; it's just too short (a function of shoehorning in to that existing space). It also feels like they were roughly halfway done constructing it and then just stopped and said "eh, that's good enough".
