I was making a distinction in space. Toon Town is an Area just like Adventure Land or Tomorrow Land. Pirates is just another ride at Disney. Granted one with a successful film, but it's still just a ride. And Mr. Toad's Wild Ride has more line than Pirates. I have proof. Pirates you can ride at night while Fantasmic is on with no lines. While Mr. Toad always is packed. So as far as devoting a day a park is realistically far fetched. However a resort is more suited for that. Specially a Caribbean themed one.

And there is no such thing as a two day lines. I have worked for Disney. And the cool people always prefer Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

I imagine that if they had a POTCO day, it would be more than us gamers who would be interested in attending. It would have very little to do with the ride itself, but more to do with the fans of the movie and the players of the game getting together to have a great time and meet one another. I think it would sell out quickly. It would not matter to me if it was held in CA or FL ( Florida is certainly much closer to me) but I figured since POTCO is based in CA, it would be easier to plan and manage from DisneyLand.

I think Pirates of the Caribbean fans might slightly outnumber the Mr. Toad fans.

Games and movies aside. No. Mr. Toad destroys Pirates. I love Disneyland's ride but there is no other ride like Mr. Toad. Before the films Pirates was just an awesome ride. The fan base grew thanks to the movie. Hence making it a pain to go ride.

I often wish that the movie hadn't been such a success. Like Mansion was. And Mansion the ride a much better story behind it. Now the lines are just ridiculous.

Also the pirates rides are very different form Land to World. The one at World is not that good.

I'm not disagreeing with you about how fun the rides are, TSC. POTCO day would have practically nothing to do with the rides hon. It's about the fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean Online GAME (and thus the movies which are based on the ride) getting together in one place, whether it is Disney Land, Disney World, McDonalds, or my house... although I think more people would come if it is at one of the resorts rather than my house.

That was exactly my point. If this is going to happen the parks would be the least favorable places to have it. That is why I said that something like Caribbean Beach at Orlando might work better.
