Quote from: "raptor1982"They're now programmed to not to touch each other with their swords.

And that's what I mean. In 1997 there was a "Pirates of the Caribbean" documentary on the French/German TV Channel "arte", where the "realistic sword fighters" were proudly mentioned as a technical innovation that had not been possible before the 1990s. And I still remember that this scene was much  better in 1995 than today.

It's not good as it is now. There's just the noice of the swords, but you see they don't touch each other.

Fun Fact: (Just been reading Tales from the Laughing Place)

The swinging pirate is actually exactly the same figure as Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) in Disney-MGM's Great Movie Ride. :) I wonder if he has the same problems there?

Finally!
It was fitting there. Now the ride is almost complete: Still 1 problem.
When I went to POTC in July/August the drunk man's throat (There are much, but I mean the one on your right side before you see those barrels on a rope.) but his throat is a bit 'loose'. You can see a piece of plastic skin hanging under his chin  :shock: . Looks a bit scary too!   :P

BTW, if POTC gets an make-over inspired by the movies,
They could use the swinging technique for the ghostly dress in POTC2:DMC!
