POTC: Rumor has it...
 

...that the voices of the pirates singing the "Yo Ho" song is back between the two drops.

Excellent!

That is all.

I've heard it (via cellphone) - now if they'd just evict the Davy Jones projector (put that damned thing in Indiana Jones 'blurry rat cave').

I should think that the plot of the latest movie would allow us to evict Squiddly for good and bring back Paul Frees.

Now get rid of the pensive pirate music and the incessant "Dead men don't tell tales but it's impossible to shut us up" after the second drop, the Zimmer score in the battle sequence, Captains Jack 2 and 3, and the fvcking Davy Jones chatter on the final lift, and I'll have my favorite attraction back.

I like the Davy Jones projection.

I like the technology. I hate the character, the spiel that insists on reminding us every two seconds who is speaking (were they that sure that no one would remember who the hell Davy Jones is that they have to have him say his name constantly?), and the intrusive interruption to one of the greatest reveals in theme park attraction history.

So says I, Greg Sloan.

While your post cracked me up, darling, you might not want to leave your full name on there.

Jim Barkley.

Come and get me.

that's great news!

The pensive pirate music is growing on me.

Happy to report that our boat sang along with the pirates after the first drop.

Okay, so only I sang along, but there was singing.

Yay!

Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me!

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me

We're rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!

Is it also true that the 3rd Depp AA had his face replaced?
Another rumor I heard...

Actually, I, Babette, have not seen the second (or third) movie so I did not know who the weird squid head was until he said his name. The problem is they put too many boats on the ride. Then each boat gets a preview while they are jammed up in the tunnel.

Yes it did. Unfortunately it only got a face-lift, the off-key lackadaisical audio remains.

Captain Jack had a little to much mascara and eyeliner. He looked like a line backer with all that crap.;)

I also like Mr. Squid Face.

Just had to chime in.

You mean Billy Squid Face? ;)

Squid Face would have been cool to see as an AA. The floating head doesn't make much sense in context with the ride and the films.
So says I, Gemini Cricket.

I ♥ the projected Davy Jones! The only way they could possibly make it any better would be to project the real life Davy Jones up there. You know, of Monkees fame. Yes, that would be a much better improvement. And please ditch "Yo Ho, Yo Ho A Pirate's Life For Me in favor of Daydream Believer. Please?? Just thinking of an animatronic Auctioneer Tork (as in Peter) calling me a wench is making me wicked hot...

;) :p

What were we talking about again? Oh, yes! Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Yesirree, I be likin' the Davy Jones Squid Face projection. I likes me the animatronic Johnnys, too. And shiver me timbers, I likes ALL them changes made in the briny deep (or in this case, a few feet of water with some yellow "explosion" lamps. you know, whatever.)

Now, if Disney would just listen to me & add a "Will Turner Kissing Booth" & a "See What It's Like To Actually Make Love To The Real Captain Sparrow In The Captain's Quarter's" exhibit, then I'd be one happy guest!

So says I, Ally Apple Suri Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, Sr. :)
