I like them. I like that Disney freshens up their old ride queues with newer tech. So far I haven't crossed an interactive queue I haven't liked.
I wouldn't mind them if there was any semblance of subtlety. The HM queue is terrible, and I shudder to think what will happen here.
I LOVE the HM queue. I like also that, should you not like it, you can simply avoid it all together.
I don't agree you can avoid it. While yes, you can choose to not see it, the obnoxious noises still invade the formerly atmospheric queue.
It does dampen the atmosphere, but if I'm waiting outside long, I tend to just talk through it all anyway.

Like maintenance? Nope. They rather add things that are unnecessary, like interactive queues.
What ever imagineer sold them on this interactive queue junk could probably sell each one of us new feet. A waste of good money and a defuse of the attraction itself. This is so off the Disney mark.

The Disney Parks Blog has posted an article stating that they are going to add elements from On Stranger Tides to the attraction. The prevailing rumor is that they are adding mermaid characters.
In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I’m excited to have a bit of news to share on one of my all-time favorite attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean here at Magic Kingdom Park.
This classic Disney attraction, which inspired a four-part film franchise, has undergone a few changes in recent years due to the success of these movies. First, Captain Jack Sparrow made his debut at the attraction, then Captain Barbossa (pictured above) appeared aboard a pirate ship. More recently, the ghostly apparitions of knaves Davy Jones and Blackbeard have materialized.
Our friends at Walt Disney Imagineering dropped us a line today to let us know that something from the most recent film, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” is about to be added to the attraction here at Walt Disney World Resort. Can you guess what it is?
Updates to the attraction will be made overnight, so Pirates of the Caribbean will remain open to guests during park hours.
No ..lol I liked POTC the way it was. I guess I'm in tbe minority on this but IMO none of the movie stuff should have been added at all.
