LOL. was just reading the micechat thread and it turns out most were in my group.

while i am uncomfortable posting details ( i really love my job) i will agree with one MC poster that says if you like the movie, it's there. if you like the original attraction, it's there.

the bayou is enhanced with a added details... example, old man's cabin front porch landing comes within inches of the ride vehicle. other details bring more life to the area.

security was tight, so no pictures.

but, after three journeys, i have the images in my mind forever.

there were CM's all over the place, hidden in the darkness, watching for shananigans.

three Jack Sparrows are in the attraction now... the first being amazingly life-like, capturing the movie character's natural movements perfectly. the details of the face make you blink at first - wondering if maybe it is the real deal.

the final jack was disappointing as the lips come nowhere close to matching the very cool monologue. but, the scene looks great.

the middle Jack has no "lines", but makes a comical appearance that i approve of.

Barbosa looks very very very much like the actor.

Davy Jones will blow your mind the first time for sure. that's all i'm willing to say.

the musical enhancements are subtle, but, for me, added alot of drama, suspense and atmosphere. do not worry about the music.

the virtual walk-on experience was a huge thrill and those of us in it had a great time in the queue. imagine a typical LoT meet in the queue, moving aLoT faster, and ten times the fun. everyone all smiles. i doubt there were more than 500 of us all together.

to my surprise, the movie began playing across the river. O M G!

saw glimpses of a few scenes and i am now incredibly excited to see the film saturday. the sound system is friggin incredible.

stayed around to ride Rockit Mtn amd see the Grad Nite firework show. very fun rope-drop ceremony!

then - on my way to the truck, all i could see was a literal sea of school buses - as far as the eye could see bringing in thousands of graduates.

i hope that you will understand why i won't post more details...but, you will enjoy the experience more without me spoiling the fun.

i am truly grateful to all the dedicated Cast and craftsmen that have worked on both the attraction and the film.

(you should see all the stuff i deleted from my post!)

ok, STC, you can roll-over now.

Now what was that bit about SOMEONE being hot for Sac...

BTW, I'm jealous as HELL of SOMEONE.

Got a text message from SOMEONE ELSE (iSm's SOMEONE ELSE) last night..."I'm undecided". Well, if you've figured out who SOMEONE ELSE is, the you know that "I'm undecided" is akin to a rave review. I'm really excited now.

Gemini Cricket · 06-23-2006, 08:20 AM

Moonliner · 06-23-2006, 10:12 AM
