Pirates of the Caribbean

As much as I wanted to go to the Premiere of POTC 4, I just didn't have a spare $1000 to donate to Charity to get a ticket!  I did however get to go to the park the day BEFORE the premiere, so I got to see everything set up and waiting.  What we missed though was an addition to POTC the Ride, that took place that night!  A Change to the Davy Jones Ghost Fog, transformed into Blackbeard!  Someone on twitter posted video of it and I'm gonna share it with you here...

It's just a link, and I PROMISE there are no virus' or malignant software or any of that crap if you follow the link.    What I've been told is that this will be featured in the ride for the better part of this year starting May 20th (although why would they change it back if it's already working? so it might be there already!).  I think this may be a GREAT improvement over D.Jones.  He really didn't do a whole lot for me, and adding new elements is a great way to update the ride!  I just wish they would update the pirates to look more realistic!  Perhaps in the next major refurb?

PS.  In case you are looking for Hidden Mickeys there are several on this ride.  My 3 favorite being a Hidden Goofy, One thats VERY hard to see and a Hidden mickey near the end.  The goofy is just past the "sleeping" pirate in his Big Beautiful bed and the Tavern near the beginning.  Look up in the Rock Formations as you round the corner into the Treasure Cove, and you will see Goofy in the shape of the rocks!  As you come into the Pirate Ship Scene, with the Fort, if you turn your head to the RIGHT and look at the holes in the fort as you are almost into tortuga, you will see 3 holes in the shape of Mickey.  Very hard to see especially if they have the fog really strong that day!  The 3rd and absolute favorite of mine is a hidden Mickey on the ARMOR plates found just before you head up the last ramp.  You will have to look to the left, it is on the far left side of the left wall, in a setup of 3 armor breastplates.  In the middle of one is a tiny Mickey.  It's been moved around over the years, and used to be right behind the pirate on the left firing.  Look for it, and you won't be disappointed!!
