06 - POV Pirate of the Caribbean
1. My Reaction This ride is VERY different from the ones in Orlando and California. At first, I didn't think anything spectacular would happen because the beginning was very slow and there wasn't many animatronics but right when you see the visual effects that turn the skeleton into Jack Sparrow, everything started happening. It was a very immersive ride because of the 360 screen the riders come into as well as the scene where the explosion happened. Also, the Hong Kong ride was based on the most recent "Pirates" movie whereas the older rides are half based on history/ half based on the older movies. Overall, it looks like a great immersive experience and I'd love to experience it one day. 2.
