I just happened to be in PoC the night that they were testing the boats with sandbags, and when they decided to try humans, I got to ride in first boat, which was quite a thrill!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055305976004656875.post-76329199993345289292016-10-30T11:29:18.808-04:002016-10-30T11:29:18.808-04:00That's correct BUT the article doesn't say...That's correct BUT the article doesn't say that there wasn't a time when the men were chasing the women, the quote by X Atencio simply states that the attraction ALSO had a part where one of the women was chasing a pirate to add a sense of humor during the time when there were pirates chasing the women. So, just to clarify, there was always a part where a female was chasing a male pirate with a broom before they changed it to all the women chasing pirates.

I think it was changed in the '90s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055305976004656875.post-34047458421514466272016-09-18T13:05:15.090-04:002016-09-18T13:05:15.090-04:00Disneyland's Pirates had always had a dream-li...Disneyland's Pirates had always had a dream-like quality for me. The opening scenes are like falling asleep, with elements of the story slowly manifesting themselves as you drift into sleep. The first two drops then become a metaphor for falling completely in to the dream, and the final lift is like waking up. To me, it is a classic example of the artists actually realizing a much deeper experience than they were consciously attempting at the time.<br />Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578485744849563147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055305976004656875.post-67485221089255441912016-09-18T09:54:41.422-04:002016-09-18T09:54:41.422-04:00When ever we go to Disneyland that is the first ri...When ever we go to Disneyland that is the first ride we go on.
