I so love this ride. I really hope they don't over do it and take the rustic adventure away with too many hi tec stuff added. Really gutted this will be closed though for my next visit in Feb next year, my family will miss this ride.

I hope they don't tech it as much as the Shanghai version.

Tony Baxter (Senior Vice President, Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Development) confirmed at a conference at the "Contemporary Hotel" of Walt Disney World that Disneyland® Paris is currently working on an update on the famous scene Duelists who have been absent for many months in Pirates of the Caribbean.

More generally, the whole attraction will be re-imagined in 2017 for an even more immersive experience to discover in July of the same year.

Interesting...

Havent they previously mentioned water projections like they use in Disney Dreams?

The other PotC rides have this, so wouldn't be surprised.

[RockNRoller]

Something about Barbossa or Davey Jones projected near the first lift section rings a bell.

[Rocketeer]

I suppose its possible something from PotC V 'Dead Men Tell No Tales' could be added.

Then again, when was the last time that Paris was ahead of the game on such things?


EDIT: With the exception of the first Parks appearence of Moana of course.

Yes there is a projection on a water curtain but nothing that adds real value to the ride.

This is a little OT, but I think this can be of some relavence.

I've posted this in the World subforum, but.... if this is the kind of detail in AA that Glendale can do now, what can they do with the Duelling Pirates?

And, the Anna and Elsa AAs in Frozen Ever After are the first electronic ones (not hydraulic) so the times they are a changin'

Oh that is just incredible, whether or not we'd have the budget...who knows. I'd worry though that they'd look out of place if they were this good in comparison to the rest of the ride, if we updated all the animatronics (we'll have to at some point anyways to stay relevant) I'd be all for it

FYI - I have just rung to book in August.
CM mentioned POTC being down.
I said I thought it was going to be up and running again by mid July.
She said there is talk it could be down for the year!

Slightly as family wanted to eat in Blue Lagoon!

Oh no. I hope that's not the case. We've booked end of July and POTC is one of our favourites. Was gutted that they shut it for our 2005 visit. It's one you really miss! Fingers crossed they stick to the July plan

What can they do with the dueling pirates? I sadly believe they will be replaced by Jack Sparrow - They probably don't have the time or money to replace them with highly advanced and reliable AA's, and since the Jack Sparrow figures have already been developed, I have no doubt one of them will take a position in their former spot .

No!!  We went 5 years ago and it was closed then, going again next Month and will be missing it again
