Pirates Leg - in POTC

**FRANKTASMIC** · 10-26-2009, 04:13 PM

When DL did the additions to POTC with Jack Sparrow did they remove some things. I remember the lady aution scene where the Pirates are bidding on women, there use to be a pirate that was on the bridge that you go under with his leg hanging down. I know it was there because i remember how real the foot looked. Now there is a pirate leaning on the bridge, no leg hanging. Does anyone remember this and what happened to the leg?

THE HAIRY LEG!!!
I remember that.
The auction scene is still there.

The hairy leg is gone? I know it's still present in WDW and in Tokyo.

There's a different place where the leg hangs down, right around where the pirate is sitting with the pigs, I think. I don't remember it at the auction.

I didn't like how they changed where the pirates were chasing the women, though. Apparently the last one wasn't PC enough. I'm a woman and frankly I was okay with watching the pirates chasing women.

Yes, I believe you are correct. Hairy leg guy is the scene after the auction scene.

I just watched a video on You-tube and you are somewhat correct. The pirate hanging his leg over the bridge is not in the auction scene it is the same scene with the pirate with the pigs. I don't know if it is still there though. If anyone rides this soon, let me know. I don't recall seeing it on my latest trip. But I know it was there because I saw it in the video.

I was just at DL last week and I was upset as well that I didn't see the Pirate w/ the hairy leg dangling from above the bridge as well. I was wandering the same thing. That was my one of my favorite features on the ride was looking up and seeing how realistic the hair on the leg looked. Hope it comes back!

I loved how dirty his foot was! Hopefully he is just getting repaired.

I just wanted to update. I was there this weekend and the hairy leg is still MIA.

He's at Disney World.

Did they also take out the pirate skeleton in the shipwreck scene that is drinking wine and you can see it going down into his body?? Either my son and I missed it or it is gone as well.....

He is there, he is on the left as you pass the Captains Quarters.

**drizella** · 09-07-2010, 04:07 PM

I hope that the leg is back soon...any more updates on this?

***** Update *****

The leg is there. In HUGE need of a quick repair though. Was there on Saturday and it looked like someone had hit it with something. Had a big chunk taken out of his foot. OUCH!

Not much to be sitting there laughing about. Even if you happen to be holding a half-drank bottle of XXX.

Update to the update -- went to DL on Friday, Oct 15th, and the leg is there, and looking as dirty, hairy and as good as ever.

**NewDVCowner** · 02-04-2010, 02:11 PM

I don't think it's wine though.

**badkitty** · 02-04-2010, 09:28 PM

I always loved how the hairly leg pirate laughed and seemed like he was going to fall off the ledge and into your boat!

I just got home from Disneyland and couldn't wait to post. The pirate with the hanging leg is back. I was so suprised. He went in some time this past week. I guess he was finally done with his makeover.
