Until you reach the well scene, all of the music is new. I'm not quite sure about the creepy version of Yo-Ho before the plunge (where the skull is now absent), but the music during the battle is definatley that from the films. And I'm not sure about this, but all of the backup music of Yo-Ho throughout the ride sounds either: A. Redone or B. Really remastered Really, the music doesen't sound to me as... old... but it could just be me.

My biggest pet peeve is that the audio levels are way off in a few scenes (too soft) most noticeably in the auction scene. The AA's of Cap'n Jack are just terrific work. The new special effects are pretty cool, although the fire still looks cheesy. Overall, though, thumbs up.

I think it had become such an icon, and was neat there as a promise of the forboding yet to come..... I like the meet and greet Jack. That looks like a really fun show. I hope they have him there in Dec. when I plan to go..but I see I'm going to have to re-learn the song Yo Ho, Yo Ho...I'll actually have to learn all the right words!, Not my made up version for my kids, cause I didn't know the right words!!
