| Pirates of Caribbean Hi Has anyone heard any rumors on rehab of Pirates of the Caribbean? A friends daughter who has worked the college program, heard a rumor they are going to close it for rehab soon and add the ship The Black Pearl with Johnny Deep and Geoffrey Rush. It will be closed along time. So anyone else heard this? I hate to see it go commercial like that. I guess i love it the way it is and would like to see it stay that way. I know the movie is good, but it just won't be the same if they change it to much. Marylee |

| Re: Pirates of Caribbean I thought I read somewhere a while back that they were thinking of closing in September or late August when crowds are less. |

| Re: Pirates of Caribbean [ QUOTE ] While I really the movie - I like the fact that the movie was based on the ride - not vice versa.... [/ QUOTE ] Me too . . . I would much rather they go with the earliest rumor of just adding an animatron of Capt. Jack Sparrow to the jail cell sequence, but I think I might be really disappointed if they completely redid the ride . . . that is, unless they added another drop , which will NEVER happen (unless they completely shut down and dig deeper under the show building)! |

Can you see our Grandkids years from now looking up & saying "thats not how Johnny Depp looks Grandma" Let's hope its just a rumor. |

| Re: Pirates of Caribbean Agreed! In 20 years they will end up taking him out. If they are going to add him, don't do it in a huge way that changes any of the ride! I actually don't think they can add another drop. I read that it cannot go down any further or something so therefore the drop they have couldn't be very steep, unlike DL's version. |

| Re: Pirates of Caribbean I guess I'm in the minority as I'd love to see Captain Jack Sparrow et all added to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. As far as Johnny Depp aging as time goes on having any effect on the use of the Jack Sparrow character in the POC attraction, that shouldn't really have any effect on it, as the character will still look the same when someone views the movie twenty years from now. However, I also agree with everyone in that I wouldn't want to see POC changed too drastically as it's a classic just the way it is now, so I'd prefer that any additions be just that - additions, not involving the removal of any of the wonderful elements that currently exist.
