Putting Barbosa on the "Wicked Wench" Pirate ship and replacing "Blackbeard" added an expiration date along with the "Where's Waldo" feel of the popup Sparrow. By adding these moviestar characters, Disney has now dated the attraction. Prior to that, the ride was still going strong for over 35 years... all the way up until the refurbishment. Thats the facts.
