Pirates of the Caribbean reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Pirates of the Caribbean, a dark ride in Adventureland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
Written by Robert Niles They were wrong. Disney World visitors demanded their own version of Pirates of the Caribbean, and Disney obliged. Walk through the Spanish fortress and step into a bateau for your ride into a mysterious cavern. Be sure to keep your ruddy hands in board, though, for there be rough seas ahead, ones that will drop you into a musical pirate adventure. The Magic Kingdom's 10-minute Pirates ride omits several scenes from the Disneyland original, but retains its most famous moments, including the attack on the Spanish Fort, the auction, the chase scene and the burning city. Not to mention X Atencio and George Bruns' famous theme song, "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me." In 2006, Disney added Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean films to the ride.
Readers' rating:
Amazing ride. This classic will never disappoint you but young kids might be frightened - Andrew Dougherty Amazing ride. This classic will never disappoint you but young kids might be frightened - Andrew Dougherty Walt's classic never disapoints! Going through caverns, a mild drop, and a caribbean village with drunks galore, what more could someone ask for! 9/10 - Eric Cartman Yo ho ho ho! A pirates life for me! This is a timeless classic not to be missed. 9/10 - Dominick D Definetly one of Disney's best attractions. While not as grand as Disneyland's version, this one still satisfies. Despite what everyone says, the recent additions make this ride even better. Jack Sparrow is by doubt one of my favorite animatronics ever. 9/10 - Christopher Sturniolo a unique ride a classic and with jack sparrow the ride is an awesome ride and with a catchy tune you will never get it out of your head, YO HO YO HO a Pirates life for me!!!!!!!!!! - Manny Rodriguez This ride is a must-do every trip and, considering that it's a Disney classic, it's usually a no-wait ride for us which is ideal. - Keith Forrest Really good ride love that they add Jack Sparrow he looks just like Jonnhy Deep. - Giovanny Cruz I love this attraction especially since they've added characters from the Movie. Great fun makes me want to watch the Movie series over and over! - Giacomo B. Although not my favourite ride at Disney World, it is one of my favourites in Magic Kingdom. Much improved with the inclusion of Jack Sparrow, this attraction never loses its charm. Its nice for kids now as they can relate to it as they've seen the films. Classic ride at MK - James McGee Queue- A Great queue, nothing like the other 3 editions(except for paris) Ride- It felt weak compared to the other ones because it was missing out on some of the scenes. My son enjoyed it a lot. My daughter was scared at the grotto but she enjoyed the ride after the drop in the dark. I really liked the blackbeard effect. - Brendan Harrison Pirates of the Caribbean is a classic and it looks as though it has been updated since our last visit. Blackbeard was projected onto the 'waterfall' instead of Davy Jones and the effects were more seamless. Queue - Pleasant; well themed and indoors so a good place to escape the sun for a while - Mark Williams How can you not ride pirates when your in disney?!?!? Wish it was as longas Disneylands and i dont get why everyone complains about Jack Sparrow, i think the way hes only seen once or twice adds to the ride, not detract from it, Barbossa and Davy jones appearance kinda overdid it for me... - travis traymoore Fantastic attraction let down in recent years by management's never-ending quest to market films in the parks. The caverns are an absolute triumph of themed design: only Marc Davis could stage violent murderers in such a way as to make you feel sorry for them! - Man-Eating Sharks Wouldn't be the greatest ride but it's worth a try. Don't wait more than 30 minutes for this! - D H It's a classic. Must ride! - Sarah Durden More attraction and restaurant ratings:
