What happened to dead men tell no tales

[Goofy Rocks]

In other news, I rode Splash Mountain right before it closed before it's annual refurb and it still looked great. Very few broken effects, looking much better. With an annual refurb, it should stay that way.

Yeah same I was happy most of the effects were working

Following my previous post, I would also like to address a serious lighting issue in the ride. Compared to Disneyland's POTC, MK's POTC is unusually bright. You can plainly see the ceiling now. Did they ever have cloud projections on the ceiling like in Disneyland?

WDW's Pirates had cloud projections from the very beginning when it opened... I noticed too the last time I rode it that they were not working...which was pretty disappointing. They also added a cloud and moon projection to the battle sequence that was great but have noticed that it is not always working...

The only time I've seen a clear projection in the water next to the boat was when I saw a Windows error message projected on the surface.

To be fair, in the modern world, it doesn't get much scarier than that.

good point, MKs use to have rolling clouds on the ceiling, they took them away with the depp refurb, I believe.

I need to notice more details...

I remember the clouds; used to be one of my favorite parts. Shame on Disney if they are gone forever. Skipped POTC last visit (2 weeks) ago because standby line was long and I hate the feelof those dank, humid winding corridors. Even a 20 minute wait felt too long to me, and it was only 65 degrees that day. Reminded me that I always think the ride (corridors) needs better ventilation.

We tend to go in January so I haven't got to ride Splash in years. Maybe soon they won't need a 3-week annual refurb.

Tried. Ride management are banging their heads.

Same as ToT.

So when will you meet with lee and 74 to draft some fixes for potc,tot,EE,dinosaur,ect. . ? You and lee can crunch number and 74 can pull some strings to get you into a top floor in Anaheim and all you need to do is pass a note with a price tag. The note should simply read "stop being a dumba$$"

Add yoda to that dream team. Four men can likely do more than the entirely of TDO

My understanding is that it has to go down for a few weeks every year because that's the nature of a water ride.

Yuck!

We could certainly play around with the allocated budgets.

Or am I a "dumba$$?”

[Tim Lohr]

The next Pirates movie is called Dead Men Tell No Tales and is slated to come out in 2016, so they'll probably have the ride audio fixed by then

2016.

That gives me heartburn more than this Starbucks coffee I'm drinking.

referring to current management practice not you.
in all honesty i wonder if you all "the insiders" got together and made a call or something of the like if it would create enough buzz.

Thank you

Thank you

the effort some of you guys put in to gather info for the rest of us to soak up is more than TDO will do for a paying guest. bahahah kudos.

ok how about that dead man telling tales?

Poor Yale Gracey....

 

[Lee]

If they're going to add a mermaid they should add an AA that's noticeable or take it out completely.

That was the original plan. Looked really good, too.
Not sure why they scrapped the AAs in favor of sporadically working projections. Bad move, there...

 

[Mr Bill]

That's been down for a bit actually. Wasn't working when I was there either.

The Ariel and Scuttle AAs have had their issues, but none have been down for any extended period of time to my knowledge. Like you said, attractions have good days and bad days. Sounds like it was a couple cases of bad days.
