But the word is that the Blue Bayou management is expecting to be closed for the entire time Pirates is closed for rehab.

As for the Pirates rehab - I know it has been talked to death on the boards, but I thought I would share that I was at a lecture given by Matt Ouimet last night at the UCI School of Business and in talking about changes coming, he spoke briefly about new innovations in settings and technology allowing for digital sets that were changeable, and he alluded (and I stress alluded, he did not state as fact) that changes involving digital settings that would allow for a lot of diversity might be exciting on something like POTC. Since the crowd was 99% MBAs and me, (I was the only one to raise my hand when he asked if anyone had seen Chicken Little in 3D) no one asked specific questions about that or any other attraction refurbs. But it was interesting to note.
