WDW and DL Pirates to change Redhead scene

[TheMaxRebo]

I think the plan to change the scene in Pirates with the red head as a woman pirate has probably been in the works for awhile, but the timeline is odd, especially since DL just had a refurbishment. Based on how Disney responded to the unexpected success of Frozen, I wouldn't be surprised to see them answer the success of Wonder Woman with something to capitalize on the trend by moving the timetable up for the change.

well, I am sure the success of Wonder Woman didn't hurt things ... but I also think we sometimes underestimate how separate the different divisions of Disney are. If this is a move to capitalize on the future of the movie series and to push forward a new woman Pirate - that creative division very well could be doing their planning separate from the division that handles regular maintenance of the ride. Or maybe when they did the last refurb of the ride they realized that scene was in rough shape so they just got it as refreshed as they could knowing there could be this major update coming in a bit. We don't know exactly - but I struggle to see Disney see the results of the Wonder Woman movie and then 2 weeks later or whatever have an entire plan ready for a new scene, etc. and that be the only/main driver of it

This is a sad day. Disneyland's pirates was something Walt was heavily involved in and taking out a key scene is just sad IMO.

I totally agree! And I thought it was stupid when they added the plate of food to the chase scene too.

Women being offended by term 'female' may be the most ridiculous thing I've heard on the internet. And I've heard some pretty ridiculous things...

Quiet, male. Don't get so emotional over other people and their lives.

Wow, now it's about Wonder Woman, the society we call reddit and female vs male ............... and here I thought it was a ride in an amusement park getting a scene change. This is sad.

Honest thought but some parts of this thread is just getting out there. The talk earlier in the beginning of the thread and through the middle was discussion, while heated at times still remained respectful, now it's just turning into cheap shots (subtle and not so subtle), tit for tat, one up, lesson 101, etc

Extremely. Not sure why all of the "female is or isn't offensive" posts weren't deleted yesterday during the moderator thread clean-up.

I tried but discussions over the word female and Wonder Woman are not what this thread is about. I've given warnings but apparently that wasn't enough this thread is now closed.
