    Default Legend of Jack Sparrow to Open 12/6/12 at Hollywood Studios

    From the Mickey Monitor:

    Opening this summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow has elicited something of a legend of its own. The word around the Parks is that this mysterious new attraction will be a first-of-its-kind sensory experience in which Guests will have the chance to be enveloped by the world of the Pirates of the Caribbean® as seen in the four feature films. Sounds intriguing. To find out more, we had a chance for a friendly “parley” with Jason Roberts, Walt Disney Imagineering Project Manager and Show Producer for the new attraction. “This is going to be an immersive experience,” Jason told us. “We’ll really delve into the story of Captain Jack Sparrow and put our Guests in the middle of it all in new and exciting ways. “Story is always the most important thing for us at Walt Disney Imagineering,” Jason continued.

    “But we’re always looking at new ways to tell the story that our Guests have never seen before. In this attraction, we’ll let you walk in the footsteps of Jack Sparrow. “It’s not ‘the making
    of’, not ‘behind the scenes’…it is really a firstperson experience.” Jason wouldn’t divulge any of the state-of-the-art special effect trickery used in the attraction, but he did assure us that the attraction is certain to elicit a “Wow! How’d they do that?” from our Guests. A long-time fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and films, Jason was delighted at his
    shot to work on the attraction. “We worked with the archives as well as the filmmakers while they were shooting the last movie,” Jason said. “And as a fan, I just loved sitting through those films again and again, going through all the details and leveraging them for this new experience. It’s really been a blast.”


    This walk through replaces the Narnia exhibit...

    TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    Sounds like a positive addition for once ... Narnia was a waste to me and this sounds pretty cool. Can't wait to check it out!

    There is a relatively new pirate museum in St. Augustine and it is really well done. My understanding is that Imagineering had a hand in a few of the exhibits one of which is a sensory experience (think Drew Carey Sounds Dangerous) that takes place in the depths of a pirate ship during a battle. Really well done. The other exhibit was the talking/joking head of Blackbeard hanging from the bow of the ship. Maybe St. Augustine was a practice for DHS. Looking forward to seeing this.

    Can't confirm, but I think I saw that the Mickey Monitor online this was taken from was pulled sometime this afternoon.

    You are right... And supposedly the Mickey Monitor's that were mailed did not include this blub in it which leads me to think Disney is really run by idiots with no oxygen going to the brain.. LOL... Can't even get this right...

    They leak the announcement of the Monsters Inc coaster on the employee site, they can't get the Test Track refurb dates right on their own site, they release (apparently) the wrong Mickey Monitor....

    A PotC walk through was/is planned for the Narnia exhibit though... Now, whether it opens this summer or not is the question... Maybe it was scheduled, got delayed, or cancelled (and I wouldn't doubt it getting cancelled by TDO) and someone uploaded the wrong MM version... Oh well...

    Awesome! This should totally satisfy my Jack Sparrow man-crush. (Wait...what!?)

    Ahem, anyway, I'm hoping "summer" means the beginning of, not the end of. I'm planning two days for DHS this trip, so I'll definitely fit that in.

    Nothing because it has since been cancelled and never made public...

    But basically, there were plans to put a Monsters Inc family coaster into one of the sound stages, I forget which, over in Pixar Place (I think it was the sound stage they had the Star Wars Weekends merchandise in)... The building was going to be extended in the back and backstage areas removed... The ride was all set to go, and someone put the announcement and concept art on the Disney employee site, The Hub... It was taken down pretty quick... And the plans for the ride have since been shelved...

    UPDATE: Despite the incorrect MM being released online, Legend of Jack Sparrow IS going ahead, just delayed until Fall...

    Set expectations on LOW... Not as massive as the MM article made it sound... While it should be better than Narnia (what wouldn't be??), this isn't going to be some awesome E-ticket walk through... Probably 3 show scenes: the entry walk in, the main show room, then the post show gallery... Should be a nice diversion, but not MAJOR...

    Part of me feels it is just to take up space. They dont want to put in anything "new" so they are filling this space with filler exhibits. Not sure we would spend time visiting it. We did Narnia- and it was a waste!

    This sounds cool, but... PoTC is already in the Magic Kingdom. I wish they could spread the love a little bit with their attraction themes. We've got Nemo and Toy Story already in two parks, now PoTC.

    They have so much other stuff to choose from!
