Jack sparrow ride review

1. Reaction
I thought the use of 3D effects and huge projector screens to add to the overall theme of the ride was actually pretty cool. Coming from the perspective of someone who has only been to the pirates ride in orlando it was really quite interesting to see how the ride evolves based on different countries.  What I thought was most interesting was the rides ability to still communicate the story despite a language barrier.

2. connections

So the major connections that I was able to relate to was primarily the music and visuals. even though I might not speak the language that the ride was using. I still am familiar with the franchise and as such the music was pretty much just a big mix down of the main themes from the movies.  However I  find it interesting to note that this ride is based off of the second and third movies in the franchise whereas the one in orlando I think is based off of the first movie (perhaps predates the movie) overall though I still got the effect of the pirates franchise even through the youtube video because of the iconic music.

3. what changes would you make?

I think this ride has great potential for a VR ride. A lot of the work is done in CG already so I personally feel that it could easily be put in a  VR space. putting the whole ride in VR and only having the track would allow for things to get even crazier and more fantastical. However I do think there would be some lost charm if we did it all in VR.
