I was bummed when they changed the Pirates ride the first time. The ship used to be in the beginning of the ride, the pirates used to chase the wenches, now they have food and are being chased as theives (They tried to PC it a bit.) It needed an industrial strength cleaning in there, the dust bunnies and algae were gettin pretty thick. The two pirates at the end of the ride who are trying to hoist the booty up the hill were badly chipped and haggard. Also, the past three times I've been to Disneyland the ride broke down each time. Plus they use every boat available and and stack them with inches in between the boats so you end up with whiplash at the end of the ride when they log jam together at the loading platform. I'm open to a little change, I hope they don't take away the original concept and the key players (The dog in the jail, etc.) They'll probably just replace the captain with a more Depp looking version. Even the Indiana Jones ride guy doesn't look like Harrison Ford... I'm hoping they just do like they did to the Tiki Room, just spruce the place up a bit with some minor changes. But, as the saying goes, "If wishes were fishes we'd never go hungry."

I hate what they did to the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, but now it's packed where people used to just walk on past. I know they added handicap access (which was needed) but the Tarzan theme isn't as cool as the SFR was (to me anyway).
