I'm watching the webcast on MSN. The video of the ride they've shown looks awesome! Depp looking at and trying to touch his AA was hilarious.

The streaming comes over WAY too jerky for me due to my poor dsl connection

- does anyone know if there's a downloadable version available instead of streaming?

Surely not everyone has a superfast connection

? Disney & MSN need to think a little better about this.

A ride through video of the POTC refurb

i don't know anyone who has ridden it and not been happy with the changes... even the people i know who were talking **** before it opened changed their tune after riding! if anything they are indifferent to the changes and additions...

i got to ride it this morning and i must say that i am completely satisfied with everything

i mean there really isn't anything missing from the ride... barbossa says the lines that the old captain did... the jack sparrow aa's are amazing! the davy jones effect is so crazy! the new music in the battle scene really makes it feel more adventurous... the sound quality throughout was so much clearer and easier to understand... overall it was good show...

all i have to say is ride it before you decide you hate it!

if you liked the old ride, it's still there... (really!)
if you wanted new stuff, it's there... (just enough!)
it all just works together amazingly!

My tune has changed. A little... I still need to see for myself.

We got to ride twice last night. Awe were at HOB for Nina Hagen and decided to hit the park at 11:27 pm. Pirates was nearly a walk on the first time and, at 11:56, was definately a walk on. We took advantage.

My thoughts? Eh. Some good, some bad. ISM's going to hate it.

The first Sparrow animatronic is simply amazing. I'd do him. The others, not so much, and I actually HATE the Barbosa. Plus, the whole set- up there doesn't make sense to me. He's attacking the mainland to find Sparrow and the islanders are protecting him? Maybe I'm missing something.

The sound is great but the new soundtrack bugs me. It's so clean and clear some of the mystery and atomsphere is taken away. The new Davy Jones effect is pretty darned cool though.

Maybe I just miss my old familiar Pirates, but the new ride sort of made me sad. I wasn't expecting to have this reaction at all. I figured I'd be rolling with the changes just fine.

Interesting, my experience was just the opposite. I expected the ride to be butchered and figured I would be depressed afterwards. Instead, I thought it was quite tasteful and didn't feel that the original had been compromised enough to bother me.

I would say that Barbarrosa was the only change that I wasn't pleased with. I thought that the soundtrack, while definitely different, worked well.

But yeah, iSm will probably be livid.
