It is my strong opinion that the powers that be must never alter an original Disney-designed attraction beyond cleanup or technical upgrade. One good example of this is Pirates of the Caribbean in bowing to politically correct shrillness by replacing pirates chasing women with chasing food, or corrupting the original storyline with repeated references to Jack Sparrow. Upgrade the electronics and servos? Yes! Remove original Paul Frees dialog? Never! One exception I would make of this would be the ending climb and the rotund around to the boarding dock. This could be upgraded as desired. But the original storyline that is Pirates of the Caribbean has been lost for the sake of advertising a movie. And, like the movie itself, the original is always the best, but attempts at a sequel are abysmal– and a third attempt is the real curse! So let us see a return to the original, guys.Friday, April 25, 2008
