Cool observation for me - the many "jet setters" who appeared to spend a few before catching flights to destinations elsewhere - Tres Swank

Did you guys break Pirates? (sigh)

Twice.


Just at the top of the first drop is a brake zone (where you are under the mounted pirate). We got stuck there. They had to shut the whole ride down and have us disembark. They then marched us around (you come out right by the men's room nearest the NOS Train Station) to come in through the exit to reload. The funny thing is that the told us to GET IN EXACTLY HOW WE WERE BEFORE (there were 18 or so LoTers on this boat).



Now, if there was a problem with this arrangement that caused a system shutdown, wouldn't it make sense to CHANGE IT?!? No, they insisted that we get back on the boat the exact same way. And guess what?



We got stuck again in the exact same place!

So off we go on our march around again. As we were arriving into the exit area, we heard people getting OFF the attraction complaining about how LONG they were on PotC as it shut down TWICE (we apologized). This time as we loaded, they wised up and split us into two separate boats (well, duh!).

As we sailed off on our cruise, we were greated along the way with the CM's congratulating us (on the PA system) as we made it past each step. I have to say that, all things considered, this was one of the BEST Pirates rides ever.

There are many other fun details about the experience and the day, but I will let others share as well.

Awww, thanks KB! I am sitting here with a big ol' smile on my face, looking at all of you so very happily disrupting the time/space continuum of the DLR, and wishing with all my heart that I was there. Can we do something equally disruptive during my visit? Please? The Swamping and Stenching of IASW was good, but it must be surpassed. I think we need to put Coastermatt on this one.

PS- Tori says hi to 'Lizard Boy'. :D

PPS- That's just a bit disturbing, but she did say it.:rolleyes:

Hi all..I am sorry I didn't make it to meet up with you all. But it was nice getting to see you Zapppop and interSpaceman. The person who I was with I was letting her decided on when and what she wanted to ride on. And at least when we went over to POC there was no line for the wheelchairs. So we got right on. Although it sounded like and by the pic you had a lot more fun. And at least I got to see you all by the pic. Maybe I can see you all sometime in the near future.
I don't know if you noticed that the pirates at the end pulling their tresure, they were already gone. I don't know when they took them out. Because last weekend they were there.
Anyway you all have a great week ahead. And hope to see you soon.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Stopping Pirates was SO much the icing on the cake of my trip. Stopping once was hysterical and great, stopping twice was embarassing and I have to THANK from the BOTTOM of MY HEART a certain someone who got me in to the park for free so I could join in on the fun!

Congrats on sinking Pirates TWICE, everyone! What a great story and wonderful photo of everyone on the boat--the big smiles in the happy photo is a perfect juxtaposition to the pic of the concerned CM on the phone. :D
