Discover
Pirates of the
Caibbean
at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Theme Park
  "All
hands on deck!"
The original idea for Pirates of the
Caribbean was to be a walk through wax museum featuring
statues of real pirates in static scenes. This was the
idea in the late 50's, set to be hosted in Disneyland, and
prior to the breakthrough animatronic technology introduced
at the Worlds Fair. Disney's Imagineers embraced this
technology, and with input from Walt Disney, created the
animatronic pirates in the light hearted voyage through a
pirates life in the Caribbean.
Hop on your own boat and cruise through the
various scenes as you witness the crazy antics of these
colorful pirates wreaking havoc in many different ways. At
the beginning of this excellent adventure, you are greeted
by a skeleton sitting in a crow's nest perched atop a ship's
mast. As you get into your vessel you are asked to
hold on as rough waters are ahead. The next thing you
know, you are taking a quick trip over a 14-foot waterfall
as you land in the middle of a pirate battle. The Black
Pearl blasts canons under the direction of Captain Barbossa,
who demands the capture of Captain
Jack
Sparrow.
As you make your way through the battle, you
find yourself on the lookout for Captain Jack Sparrow.
He's in search of a treasure map to the towns riches.
He's not alone in this feat, however. The other
pirates pillage and hold everyone in question, "WHERE'S
CAP'N JACK?!" As the ride moves forward, you witness
pirates chasing maidens, and jolly pirates singing their
theme song, "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life for Me!"
Watch as jailed up scallywags try to coax a
dog holding the keys to their freedom hostage for
food. That pesky dog isn't giving that key up for just any
scraps though. Make your way as you see the burning
buildings, and the havoc that these pirates are wreaking all
in search for the booty, and Cap'n Jack. Will they
find him before he finds the treasure? You'll have to
see for yourself, because "dead men tell no tales!"
Renovations to
Pirates of the Caribbean
Since it's conception at Disney Land on March
18, 1967, the ride has been replicated in other Disney
locations. Magic Kingdom got a version of the ride in
1973, Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, and Disney Land Paris in
1992. It wasn't until the movies featuring Johnny Depp
and the rest of the fantastic crew dominated with three box
office hits that lead to the renovations featuring Captain
Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbossa and The Black Pearl.
Pirates of the Caribbean is fun for the whole
family and can be experienced again and again for years to
come. Be sure you make your way to El Castillo - Torre
Del Sol, the home of this wild adventure at Disney's Magic
Kingdom the next time you visit. If you don't you may
just have to, WALK THE PLANK! |
