Ugh, worse than accepting it, the loudmouthed nimrods we rode with on July 4 were ecstatic about everything new. They loved Davy Jones, were agog about Jack Sparrow x 3, and loved the Pirates movie theme playing over the battle scene. Everything I despise is loved by the unwashed masses, I fear.
Anyways, I confirmed my worst about the long, dark tunnel. The mist waterfall does indeed cut far short the reveal to what I've always called the "get it" room (i.e., a vast chamber filled with water, projected clouds upon a faux sky, and a looming pirate ship firing its cannons upon a Spanish fortress. If you haven't gotten it by then, this is where you frelling "get it.")
And it's not simply that the tunnel does not become lofty and vaulted because they now fail to light the loftiness .... its because the loftiness is no more! The contraption that creates the mistfall descends 20 feet from the roof of the tunnel. Look backwards next time you pass through Davy Jones cheapcrap projection effect. The machinery is huge, and the lofty tunnel is humbled.
