Hiya! Your favorite gossip columnist is back! Finally! You know my slavedriver boss, Chippy, always keeps me busy! Today I have some gossip that will annoy many of you because I know this ride is very popular. It may or may not be Pirates of the Caribbean.
I have been hearing big rumors that Pirates will be closed all summer, and then some. I hear the ride will be shut down due to some safety concerns that recently popped up. The ride was recently shut down for a few days to assess what was going on. A little birdie told me the suspected closure dates are May 11th to Sep 26th 2015. That is quite the long refurbishment.
You might remember, a while back, a guest had lost the tips of a couple of fingers because he probably had his hands where they should not have been. But anyway I was told that this happened because the new boats were rubbing against the old tracks. Did they not check that? Oh well, no one is perfect! But Disney is pretty close.
Many guests also complained that they got too wet on the new ride vehicles and it turned to rough. So, maybe that has something to do with it as well.
Who knows there might even be a change of scenery on the ride too.
What do you think?

That stinks. I arrive May 12th 🙁
I have to agree that the boats were quite jerky coming down the little hill and there was quite a bit of jostling that I didn’t recall from priour visits. I would like to see that fixed, but I am sad that they will be down for the peak season of summer. It’s too bad they couldn’t do it now so fewer guests are affected overall. As much as I hated that creepy giant pirate fog face, it isn’t the same without it, so I hope they fix that too. It’s a part of the whole story.
