I've been concerned about it. A while ago I said on this board that there is only one Disney ride I find endlessly rideable; that ride is Pirates. I wasn't stuck on it remaining exactly the way it was but I also didn't want them to ruin whatever ineffable quality makes it work for me. I probably won't get to ride until sometime in August but I'm heartened that I have yet to year a single solidly negative reaction.

That's right, just like there are now hoards of 20ish'ers out there complaining that boat captains are NOT supposed to have guns, and pirates are supposed to chase food.
