One thing I was wondering is that people in the town are hiding Jack. But why are they protecting him? Or is that in the movie...?
I think it's kind of weird for Davy Jones to show up and then not appear again or be around for the rest of the ride.

I like giving people the choice to be spoiled or not. But I suppose there's already been a bunch of open talk, so whatever.

Personally, I thought the changes made the ride feel shorter. I know my attention was on looking for the new elements, which means I tuned out stuff if there was no Johnny. And that made the ride seem to kinda speed by.

I'm wondering, is there a way to speed up Pirates? I know they speed up HM during the holiday makeover.

avoid putting 18 LoTters in one boat with biggest guys in front row?

Just remember, in 20 years they'll try to make some significant change to the ride and our spiritual descendants will respond "what! that's a travesty! you can't mess with a classic!"

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.

Not to quibble, but... that would be twenty.

(though 18 is likey to mess it up too)

Does anybody know where I can view more pics?

Thanks muchly!

Why, yes Ally! I read, listened to, and acknowledged your question. I like you or at least pretend to for a Thread's sake.

I heard that you watched the ABC Channel 7 news at 6 p.m. and saw quick snippets of "Johnny Sparrow" peeking out of a barrel. Yes, Honey, I know you miss the girl-in-the-barrel. I know you miss it most of all because the pirate sitting next to her was holding that darling pink shoe that belonged to her. Even as a little girl, you loved your shoes.

Carry on, wayward sons. I got my answer.

Ho ho! I did answer your question, but just in another thread about Pirates. D'oh! So confusing... It's in the Johnny Refurb thread. Pics galore...
