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.

That is a shame. I use to marvel at the size of the cave they made. It gave it a beliveability. But also the long quite tunnel, with a faint "Dead men tell no tales" in the background told you things were changing, IE from the present to the past. It was that long wait that made you anticipate what was ahead. I will miss this part. And now indure the fog machine and movie soundtrack instead.

Perhaps they will show clips from POTC 3 on the walls of the cave soon!??
