Mon 6/4/2007 9:08a | My daughter is going to LOVE this!! Especially the bone cage from the second movie. What I love is that they did not entirely switch it over to being a POTC environment but kept Tom & Huck evident. Cute how they "covered" the sign for Tom Sawyer's Island with the Pirates Lair one. Have to get over there to get one of the maps before they disappear. "- D Wicked cool photos! Have to go everywhere now just to see where all the shots were taken! One "-( note? The handsome rogue in the shots from the Lafitte's Tavern show is a bad guy and he gets stuffed in a chest! Oh, poo! |

Sat 6/9/2007 8:14p | got a chance to go over to pirates lair, this past thursday. i liked it. they really didn't change it too tremendously, just added some new eye candy and interactive features.
so the feel of the island and what makes it a unique attraction hasn't changed. you still climb through caves and climb a treehouse with a spetacular view and cross the rickety bridges. the only thing missing is the fort, which has been closed for several years now.
i think they did a good job.
and they haven't abonded the western aspects of the river, i think the new cabin with the horse is a nice scene. better than looking at the empty cabin of the last 8 or 9 years. Also i noticed that the beaver cutting down the tree is missing, but i saw 4 or 5 swimming around in that area. Are these new? have they always been there? do you know if the beaver cutting the tree and the bear scractching are coming back? |

Sun 6/10/2007 9:50p | there does seem to be alot of people heading over there. not lines and lines of people, which is good cause that means there are still some quiet spots to just sit and watch the world go by. |

Wed 6/13/2007 8:15a | There is definitely a lot of new activity on the Island. I understand that the guest count is much higher since the pirates have invaded.
Those beavers tend to behave like wild animals! When all of them are around, it's a lively pond. I am sure that the one cutting the tree will be back, along with all the other wildlife.
If you want to see the fort one last time, better do it as quickly as possible. I'm only sayin'... |

Wed 6/13/2007 8:25a | I will begrudgingly admit this new stuff looks GREAT and is a 1000 times better that what was there. I just hope it stays as is. What's there now is LOOSELY tied to Tom/Huck and works (barely) with FL. Anymore would make the island look totally out of place.
And like everyone says, the island is certainly taking people off the streets because the guest counts are like 5 times what they were for TSI at this time last summer. |
