Dear Imagineers*,

I was watching a video of the newest additions to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Now, I'll have you know I am a loyal, devout believer in the magic of Animatronics. They are amazing, they are breath-taking, so realistic, and in this video I see... they just keep getting better! So this is where I must ask,

Why haven't we seen any new Animatronic-based rides?

A lovely, relaxing, spectacular boat ride where I can truly admire your genius! Not a thrill ride, please. While the Yeti was truly amazing in Expedition Everest, I could only admire it for about 2 seconds before I ducked and closed my eyes in fright! (Which was, of course, the desired effect!)
I could see that maybe you are all worried about then needing to update the classic rides, though, if you were to put out a new, Animatronic-based leisure ride. Pirates and the Haunted Mansion, though, are from such a different time, the slow-moving ghosts are expected, almost! And the Pirates are like a dream. Except when Johnny Depp himself pops out of a... oh wait, no, that's an Animatronic, too!
Please, my good men and women, I will brainstorm for the most exciting fantasy comparable to the Haunted Mansion and our lovable Pirates of the Caribbean. Only if you will pretty please make such an incredible ride! No, no, that's not right. What I mean to say is only if you make such incredible figures!
Love,
Emily

Really folks, I have yet to see the new Pirates in real life, but to see Depp standing next to Animatronic Captain Sparrow is amazing, and I'll admit, a bit confusing! See for yourselves if you can.
