Go figger.<br /><br />The PC-ification of Pirates is a little sad, though only Disney Purists (tm) are likely to get bent out of shape. And the new animatronics are amazing -- the contrast between the new Jack Sparrow figures vs. the original figures is startling (and makes it all the more convincing.)<br /><br />When I get on that ride, I'm eleven again, seeing it all for the first time.mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-12809746214001436472009-06-19T10:07:14.130-07:002009-06-19T10:07:14.130-07:00Never found the haunted-house ride scary, m'se...Never found the haunted-house ride scary, m'self. I do enjoy it though. Pro Tip: Go on the Haunted House ride at night while everyone else is watching the fireworks.

The ride is still a lot of fun, but dude, come on Disney guys.

My six-year-old did NOT want to ride that one again, but she gladly joined me on Pirates for six or seven rides.mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-36920379279100338172009-06-19T09:08:29.053-07:002009-06-19T09:08:29.053-07:00Speegle!
