There's no longer a Jolly Roger skull to give the safety information. You just leave the loading dock, turn a right, and the POTC music starts..with Blackbeard's head being projected onto the mist curtain. In light of the recent incident, they need to add back the Jolly Roger skull so he can tell people to keep their ruddy hands inside boat.
