Captain Hook's Pirate Ship - 2011 refurbishment
« on: January 27, 2010, 09:23:58 PM »
What a nightmare it must be for DLP - you finally get the treehouse and labyrinth up to scratch and meanwhile the pirate ship starts to look like this:

A good paint job is needed here.
What exactly is happening under the ship?

Well you can see the concrete platform the ship is sitting on. Either the water level is lower than it should be or some boards that were covering the gap have gone.

Here's how it looked in 1992:



Anyone know when and why the colour was changed, getting rid of the black across the middle?

I wouldn't think the water levels are lower or are they?  :|
All I know is that strip across the middle with no colour needs to be painted along with the rest of the ship.

Woah, the ship really is in bad condition.  I knew it was in bad need of a re-paint but now it's just screaming for some attention.  It looks even worse when you compare it to that 1992 picture, the ship looks beautiful in that picture.

My guess is that water level has lowered over the years, it wouldn't be impossible to happen.

Oh dear, it's in a very sad state indeed. Let's hope whoever is in charge pulls their finger out and gives the ship the same treatment as the treehouse and the labyrinth.

It's such a shame because the ship shouldn't have ever gotten into this state. Something should have been done a long time ago. I hope all of the current maintenance problems are fixed before the 20th anniversary, wouldn't that be great?

Now Disney should put all new attractions on hold and should use the money for refurbishment of the whole resort. That's really a bad show!!!

Imagine if they spent the TSPL on refurb and quality entertainment instead. I can wish.

I thought it looked quite pretty all frozen in last Saturday.

It reminded me of the scene from the live action Peter Pan movie where the ship is frozen in and everything starts to melt and get summery when Pan returns from Neverland with the Darlings.

Yeah, it looks nice from a distance, up until you get closer and realize that Captain Hook has been hunting Peter Pan for quite some years without returning to his ship.

Not that I would consider buying something from the "Galley" in the ship, but does somebody know if it has been open for the last 15 years or so? :)

I've seen it open a couple of times last year.  It was open in August for sure.
And I saw it open on of the two days I was there in October as well.
It wasn't open in November, and I didn't check earlier this month so I couldn't tell.

Has anyone seen the ship open in the last six months?

Every time that I’m there I check, but not in the morning or the afternoon. And I’ve been three times this year.

I just went a couple of days ago and it wasnt open. I went on the tour guide and the guides didnt seem to think that the ship was being painted any time soon. But the playground next to it was being painted so maybe they'll move onto the ship when they're done.

The Pirates' Beach refurbishment was scheduled, but there's no work planned on the ship this fiscal year.  I heard rumours it might be refurbished in FY 11.

The ship was closed for guests last year, don't expect to see it reopen any time soon.
