I love how Al mentions the "Remember" fireworks show has been the kiss of death for so many classic Disneyland elements it featured. Nearly everything non-musical that still existed when "Remember" premiered now remains only in memory. Seems the title of the show has taken on a rather sinister double-meaning.
As for Pirates, I've never been too upset about Johnny Depp making a few appearances. It's always been about the travesty of removing the Pirate Captain's and the Auctioneer's iconic performances. It's little comfort that they are taking out the World of Motion robots and the gluttony scene when, at the same time, they are removing so much of the original acting that is the heart and soul of this attraction.
No more, "What be I offered for this winsome wench?" or "Pound 'em, lads, pound em!!"
No more, "No fear have ye of evil curses, says you ... aaarrrrhh. Properly warned ye be, says I."
Properly warned, indeed. All the pretty lights and crisp sound in all the world won't make up for what they've done to Walt Disney's masterpiece. They'll rotate in hell for this, mark well me words.
