I have not seen the Blackbeard mist projection working for two trips now. I really loved that part. Also there have been a lot of complaints about the new boats and people getting soaked in the front row. Hoping it reopens for the holiday season in November!
Blackbeard must was not working last week, was working yesterday though. Maybe he's an intermittent problem?
Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

Well that is good to know! I rode Pirates countless number of times this past November and November 2013 and didn't see it once. So I assumed they just weren't showing it anymore because of problems. Hope to see it in the future!

I'm with you 100% Lynn. Close it down for however long is necessary to get it right so that it works for another 50 years. They should've learned by now this halfway stuff with the refurbs is just leading to more problems. But the brass doesn't want to hear the complaining from folks while it's closed.

Totally agree. Close it down and get it right.
So, you don't have time to do it right, but you do have time to do it over?:thedolls: Please Disney, do it right the first time. The competition to the north will catch up. Space mountain was a disappointment.

We also got "soaked" in the front seat and took hours to dry off! We told the Cast member after the ride to keep guests off the front seat and his answer was "it is a water ride". So now we make sure we don't sit in the front 3 seats!
Close the POC for any reason and we will riot.
It is my only must do every trip
First trip 1986 ...
Not enough since then!
I did notice on our recent trip that the audio wasnt as crisp as I remember it. It would be nice to see (and hear) the attraction get some new technology to improve it!
I'd hope they would close it for as long as needed, simply because doing things half way will only result in more frequent future closures.
It was down a couple of weeks ago when we were there too. We were able to ride it once and I did not notice anyone completely soaked that time. I agree fix it properly the first time. There are a plethora of rides that really need a lot of work but where is the time and money going....Avatarland:confused:

We did not get to ride it this visit because it was down the majority of the day. It opened for a short while during the day but was shut down while we were in line due to what CMs called "technical problems". They did give us free FPs for another ride at least. Anyone know what is wrong with the ride lately?

It would be nice if they could come up with a fix for all the inconsiderate people who insist on taking photos of every scene and ruining the ride for everyone else in the boat.

That would be funnier if it wasn't probably the truth.
