Pirates of the CaribbeanDark rideLast edited by Robert Niles Pirates takes riders on a 15-minute trip from New Orleans Square's Blue Bayou down two waterfalls into a misty realm where Davy Jones challenges you with a pirate's curse and "dead men tell no tales." Disney's Imagineers have tweaked the ride several times since its 1967 debut, most recently in 2007, with the addition of characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean films, including Davy Jones and Johnny Depp's Capt. Jack Sparrow. The show's burning city finale features the rousing theme "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me" by X. Atencio and George Bruns, followed by a coda in the city's crumbling prison, where the pirates face their comeuppance. (Except for Jack Sparrow, of course.) Pirates offers the highest capacity of any ride in the park, meaning its line moves swiftly even during the busiest times of the day. [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos:

Reader reviews of Pirates of the Caribbean
Always on the top of list on must ride, rides!!! I think this is one of the ride we usually ride more then once during a visit! It is a slow moving ride but it gives you allot of time to look at all the details. I loved the original version (pre pirates of the Caribbean movies) How ever disney has done a great job adding it to the ride without changing everything, During the warmer days this is a great ride to ride to cool off it is very cool inside! - April staten A truely great Disney Experience! A great family ride! Although if your young one is scared of most of the rides at Disney they might become frigthened on this one as well as there are some dark places. The Jack Sparrow animatronic looks more than real!! - Thomas Furlong One of the best rides in any theme park. I especially like the modifications made to reflect the new movies. Second best dark ride in the world. The only one that is better is Indiana Jones. 10/10 - Will Chilcote Very long ride and great place to cool off. - Steven Lee Pirates of the Caribbean hands down the best theme park attraction of all time. The design, the music, the atomsphere, the attention to detail are stunning (take a close look at the Pirate dangling his leg over the side of the bridge while holding a bottle of Rum, actual hair) The Disney Imagineers finest hour. Hats off to all involved in it's creation. A must see every visit. - mark evans
