From what i've heard the boats are still a work in progress. As for the actual ride though, everything looks great. Many animatronics are working that I don't know that i've ever actually seen work.Got a chance to ride it aft the refurb, they did a good job on some of the scenes, but they did not really fix the issue with the boats, unfortunately (we got pretty wet)
According to Martin over at Magic, the Audio/lighting systems were completely replaced. It's very noticeable.Did they fix the audio? That is seriously more glaring to me than the AA's.
I agree. Part of the problem is that they took off two months at the beginning of the refurb, which was acceptable because of summer crowds. However, i'm not sure why they didn't add those two months onto the backside of the refurb to allow more time to fix the boat issue. It's still fairly slow and MK has more than enough to make up for Pirates being down. They should've kept this down until November.I'm glad they did this refurb, but is there really a need to have it open when the boats are taking on so much water? It's the slow season and no one is expecting to get on Pirates and getting a Splash Mountain level of soak.

Is there even a sign at the front with the "You May Get Wet!" schtick?
New ride title: "Dudley Do Right & Nell Does Pirates of the Caribbean"Is there even a sign at the front with the "You May Get Wet!" schtick?
No, because you aren't supposed to get wet on the ride. You didn't for about 40 years at MK and still to the day don't at DL, even with their new fleet of boats.Is there even a sign at the front with the "You May Get Wet!" schtick?

The only new solution is new boats, imo. Apparently it's gotten so bad that cast are being told to balance out weight within the boats as they board.
I wasn't questioning your knowledgeWell I knew that
I meant was a new sign placed since the recent issues arose.
I agree a sign would be nice... then at least when people complain to the CMs who have no control over the situation, they can say "The sign at the entrance states You may get wet".I knew there was a "problem" when I boarded the boat and all the seats were already wet. Why they aren't telling the public is beyond confusing to me. It would take less then 24 hours to get a sign put up around the ride. The first step is admitting you have a problem...everyone knows that.
They replaced the boats a few years ago with lighter, plastic boats. So since they are lighter, weight matters more. I've heard of instances where the boats were verging on literally taking on water.And when did this issue begin and why did it begin?

Also, the boats don't work on the belt nearly as well as the prior boats.
