Aint it cool news has some great concept art for the new Pirates Lair at Disneyland California. When you watch 'm its almost like they just have to copy/paste this into Adventure Isle at our DLRP. It just looks so perfect. The Robinson theme never worked anyway, most people don't even know the movie...

Yes that would be a nice idea for adventure isle :mrgreen:
And it will fits very well in the environment!
OOOH! I like! :D
Definitely, Disney should do as much with the Pirates of the Carribean franchise as they can. Did you know, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is 3rd in the all-time Worldwide Box Office list? It's higher than all the Star Wars and Harry Potter movies! Incredible, isn't it? Check it out:

So, as far as I'm concerned, they might as well devote Adventure Isle at Disneyland Paris entirely to Pirates of the Carribean. It's already really Piratey, so it wouldn't take too much effort to change. And yeah, the Robinsons (who?) should "leave" the treehouse and someone Piratey (who lives in treehouses) should move in :-)
This would be great to re-theme Adventure Isle. :)
No- Don't give them any ideas! I love the way it is. Too much of this POTC stuff taking over everything is bad. You should talk to the US Disney park fans- they are sick of it.
*grabs cutlass*
"Yarr! If any of ye bilge rats stick yer filthy hands near thar Adventure Isle, I'll send ye right back te the Seven Sea of... er, Rhye?"
Seriously, this is very unlikely to happen to Adventure Isle as, well, what possible benefit would it be to Disney? Tom Sawyer's Island had fallen into disrepair and something needed to be done about it; whether the right thing was done is your own opinion.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Not much else to say to that. It just really made me laugh!
I say do it! It looks like fun. But i think they should keep different elements of adventure isle and add more in.
And the treehouse definitely needs to be changed, I like the Tarzan tree house. However iv heard something bout Jack Sparrow treehouse. Any one know anything about that?
I´m not for a complete redesign, but the elements looks very cool.
It will be wonderful to lift a treaser out of the adventureland sea at one side of the ile or pumping for it in a abandoned boat. And the enhanced treasure cave looks also great.
The haven´t redesign the hole ilse but the could have some nice ad-ons.
Quotewhat possible benefit would it be to Disney?
Guest satisfaction! Why else? :?
Besides, there had been rumours for quite some time that there would be a POTC make-over at Adventureland. The treehouse would be transformed into Jack Sparrow's hideaway, but somehow the idea fell through. (maybe all the budget got pushed towards Toon Studio?
Never say "unlikely" at DLRP, remember how they torn out Jules Vernes out of a certain mountain in 2005? :wink: :lol:

Yes, but with the current financial situation, money would be better spent on a new attraction (which the park really needs) than changing an existing one, particularly such a minor one as Adventure Isle.

Thanks, but I don't think any of the non-Brits got it :wink:
very nice! great too see that DLRP are putting more pirate themed stuff in adventureland

Erm.. haha! This is how rumours begin.
Glad to see I sold you on the idea, raptor! Those concepts look brilliant. This project fits almost too perfectly not to happen - we already have treasure caves, Davy Jones' Locker, a sunken ship, etc etc. All these extra little games would be brilliant. I don't think anyone would miss the Swiss Family Robinson - there's not the same kind of connection in Paris as in California... and hey, they already tore theirs out for Tarzan!
Imagine the amount of hilarious jokes they could put into the treehouse and those little description boards if it was somewhere Jack had had to build for himself after being shipwrecked. All in the vein of hitching a ride on two turtles using human hair from his back. :lol:
If they're looking for something for Summer 2009 (or even 2008), this should be it.
I think a revamp would be great. I don't really bother about Adventure Isle and usually just walk through on the way to the rides. Swiss Family Robinson has passed its sell by date and we need something more up-to-date. The kids visiting the park don't even know what the film is, being redeveloped to be Jack Sparrows or even Tarzans hideway would be a great idea. I think we will need to wait and see.............. :minnie:
i reckon making it bigger would be cool i have great fun in the caves etc :P
It would be great to see the Pirates Lair additions at our Adventure Isle aswell. The area seems to be designed for it and I think it will fit in perfectly (at least better then at Tom Sawyer's Island in Anaheim). Besides that, these additions wouldn't be that expensive for EuroDisney SCA and it would add some new adventure once again at Adventureland. :wink:
i think that would be excellent it would make adventureland well rounded like frontierland with a general theme running around the whole area

Going a bit off topic, but I always think these worldwide box office charts are absolute rubbish. They never adjust for inflation. Ticket prices were much lower back in 1977 when Star Wars was released. They don't take into consideration all the money these films have made through video sales over the years and merchandising, or the cultural significance films had.
Pirates is a success, no denying that. But there is no way it ever had the same cultural impact that Star Wars did. And I don't think Harry Potter has either.
The fact is, that cinema going is on a decline, and you never see the cinema's packed out these days or queue lines like you did for films in the 70's and 80's. So many people are equally content to just stay at home and wait for the DVD. These worldwide box office records are a sham. How else can you account for the record being broken every summer?
