Report: Pirates of the Caribbean Special Event
Page 20 of 20

The Skull and Crossblades drops back down and the attraction's music is playing as it begins, "Aye! Now that ye all be true pirates, tis time ye be leavin’…believin’ there’s magic in the stars! Leave now and look to the heavens as the skies be filled with fire and spectacle! And don’t ye be forgettin’…The Capt’n will be lookin’ fer ye at 11 o’clock or he’ll put an evil curse on ye!" The classic attraction spiel, "No fear have ye of evil curses, says you. Argh! Properly warned ye be, says I. Who knows when that evil curse will strike the greedy beholders of this bewitch-ed treasure?!" plays through the theater. "Dead men tell no tales! Perhaps ye knows too much! Ye’s seen the cursed treasure, ya know where it be hidden! Now proceed at your own risk! These be the last friendly words you’ll hear! You may not survive to pass this way again! "

As the audience is leaving the theater as the Skull and Crossblades offers one more warning, "Dead men tell no tales!"
