The ride returned June 26 after a nearly two-month refurbishment that added a transforming pirate figure in the grotto scene. nypost.com reported fan criticism of the update on social media.
nypost.comcom reported. The attraction added a new audio-animatronic effect in the grotto scene that uses projection mapping and mechanical animation to transform a pirate figure from a living buccaneer to a skeleton and back. The figure sits on a pile of treasure and relies on face mapping projected onto a 3D-printed face while the animatronic body moves underneath.
The ride first opened in 1967 and was personally overseen by Walt Disney before his death. Disney posted an Instagram video of the new animatronic after the reopening. Some fans responded negatively in the comments, with one writing that the change was the opposite of magic and another calling the overhaul a 0/10.
