The fog was extra thick (I like it that way), the lighting and all the AA's looked to be in tip-top condition. The "Here Kitty-Kitty" pirate is still missing, but the cats are there, odd that they move there little mouths but there is no sound :-)Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-53471802893195236472009-02-10T23:08:00.000-08:002009-02-10T23:08:00.000-08:00Nice post Dave---The original final figure was a p...Nice post Dave---<BR/><BR/>The original final figure was a pirate with a pistol, sitting on several swaying & balancing barrels, aiming and firing at the passing boats.<BR/><BR/>That figure is now located in the pooped pirate scene, is still on the barrels, and the barrels are now leaking rum or some such spirit into the cups of eager pluderers.walterworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319070921534941313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-84814050604111786412009-02-08T15:33:00.000-08:002009-02-08T15:33:00.000-08:00TM: You are absolutely correct; there was another ...TM: You are absolutely correct; there was another figure in the rope-pull scene that used EPCOT figures. And if memory serves correctly, he DID look like an ad for Preparatiion H! Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of him...who knew he’d be gone during the Sparrow rehab?!? Which is why I hauled ass over to the old Bank of America building yesterday to get some 'final' shots of that before it is removed in the near future.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-35236429698149135132009-02-08T15:20:00.000-08:002009-02-08T15:20:00.000-08:00Hey Dave, thanks for the photo of the cat in the b...Hey Dave, thanks for the photo of the cat in the barrel! I agree with you and VDT about the last Johnny Depp figure. It has always looked "shoehorned" in to me. As for that former pirate pulling on that rope...he was taken from the World of Motion attraction at Epcot after it had closed, and put into POTC in the '97 remodel. Actually, wasn't there another figure that was bent over in kind of an unflattering position, trying to lift some heavy treasure in that same scene? I believe he was also from Epcot. To me, the two figures always seemed to be just "stuck" in as an afterthought.<BR/><BR/>Loved this series!!!

You are really slacking off....! <BR/><BR/>Seriously, great photos from today, especially that neat one of the cat in the barrel (did you get to take that one yourself?). I like how you can see the chopped-off ends of the fish, and what is that mysterious little orange light??Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-49072022323560611902009-02-08T08:00:00.000-08:002009-02-08T08:00:00.000-08:00Amazing and detailed post Dave, thanks so much!

Great before and after shots, couldn't agree more about the Johnny Deep ending, "contrived" to say the least. <BR/><BR/>Oh, I'll trade your crazy cat lady neighbor for my crazy neighbor that gets hysterical at 3am every other day, she scream so much that by 7am she is so horse she can’t scream and yell for another 2 days!
