Pirates being changed?

Quote:
In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I'm excited to have a bit of news to share on one of my all-time favorite attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean here at Magic Kingdom Park.

This classic Disney attraction, which inspired a four-part film franchise, has undergone a few changes in recent years due to the success of these movies. First, Captain Jack Sparrow made his debut at the attraction, then Captain Barbossa (pictured above) appeared aboard a pirate ship. More recently, the ghostly apparitions of knaves Davy Jones and Blackbeard have materialized.
Our friends at Walt Disney Imagineering dropped us a line today to let us know that something from the most recent film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," is about to be added to the attraction here at Walt Disney World Resort. Can you guess what it is?
Updates to the attraction will be made overnight, so Pirates of the Caribbean will remain open to guests during park hours.

Just saw this come across my twitter...so most of the guesses in the comments was there be mermaids coming. Thoughts? I personally loved the mermaids and would love to see them added to the PotC...better than Angelica being added. But someone said The Flying Dutchman has mysteriously gone missing from Castaway Cay...would this have something to do with it? Oh the intrigue...lol.

Mermaids would be cool! I'm happy to hear that the ride won't be closed for the changes at least, it's always disappointing when that happens.

The Flying Dutchman has been out of Castaway Cay for quite some time now, I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm not sure what the changes will be, but I hope that whatever they are they're minor.

Well they said it's overnight so maybe it could be something with the sound/music? That would be much faster/easier to put into a ride than a whole new feature,

So far... this is all I could find... and not 100% sure this is for Disney World.... from the looks... it hasnt been announced, and no one has said anything

Now it is randomized, meaning riders can see both Davy Jones and Blackbeard. Also, boxes have been added in the famous jail scene, and the treasure room at the end with Jack Sparrow now has a sparkling effect.

My bet is on the Mermaids. Wouldn't it be cool if they were popping out of the water in the scene where the skeleton is steering the ship's wheel? Better yet, the scene of the cannon fire b/w Barbosa and the Fort? You have to dodge cannons and mermaids! AWESOME!!!!!!

The other rumor was that Barbosa would be changed to the Queens Fleets outfit or something like that.
