i don't know anyone who has ridden it and not been happy with the changes... even the people i know who were talking **** before it opened changed their tune after riding! if anything they are indifferent to the changes and additions...
i got to ride it this morning and i must say that i am completely satisfied with everything
i mean there really isn't anything missing from the ride... barbossa says the lines that the old captain did... the jack sparrow aa's are amazing! the davy jones effect is so crazy! the new music in the battle scene really makes it feel more adventurous... the sound quality throughout was so much clearer and easier to understand... overall it was good show...
all i have to say is ride it before you decide you hate it!
if you liked the old ride, it's still there... (really!)
if you wanted new stuff, it's there... (just enough!)
it all just works together amazingly!
