Pirates of the Caribbean - Ride Through - Walt Disney World

[PS3TheJamesS]

It's better now captain jack sparrow is on it!

[hollistergurl871]

@jsimseverywhere

Well yea, but in Disneyland version, they make it sooo obvious you are going to drop. They say hold on tight, and it even looks like a drop. In Disney world version, they don't say anything about holding on, and it just is dark, you can't see the tunnel/drop, and there is no hints. It's more fun that way!

[jsimseverywhere]

Disneyworld=1 drop. Disneyland=2 drops.

[DoYouFearDeath333]

what is davy jones saying at the waterfall?

[justinbiebergirl161]

dose the boat ur on go down at all

[33Keith33]

I'm so glad that you captured the talking Jolly Roger (before the drop). I like the new additions of Jack Sparrow etc. but I was disappointed that they removed the Jolly Roger. Also, the drop is now in TOTAL darkness and you can't see a thing.

[MonkeyMojo54]

Dude people are so stupid on this ride. They start snapping pictures and then get yelled at, "put the camera away" and then get yelled at again. Then I guess they must have cameras or something because one time the ride stopped and they told the person the ride wont continue til they completely put it away. Then they got it taken away when we got off. Disney doesn't care if you film so long as it doesn't have a light on the outside.

[moviesperson100001]

@MonkeyMojo54 disney is getting gay!!!! i mean can't they think of something better to do instead of taking away these people's expensive cameras???????

[mrsbieber753159]

i love the drop part it was so much fun

[mibevan]

my step mom works at disneyworld and told me a rumor about this ride

she said that there is a REAL ghost named Charley on the pirates ride. And that every morning before opening the ride you have to say "good morning Charley" and if u don't something on the ride will go wrong,

She told me they do it every morning and this was proved to be real.

[marciatorresstar]

Thank you for make me remenber this beautiful "Pirates of Caribbean" vvhen very years ago i visited Disney VVorld . It vvas a beautiful dream . VVonderful .

[donaldhorton5269]

Shellyfish I'm 5 8 and I am able to reverse 180 dunks. Honestly, anyone can do it, just follow the right training program. I recommend the workout at "50inch vertical [dot] com" but any workout could be followed if you can check they work

[benfrank2672]

sup #VIDEOPOSTERID#, I m training to maximize my vertical leap by following the workout system over at 50inch vertical[dot]com - and thus far got like like 8-10 inches so far but I'm even now a a little off from dunking the ball It's only my third week thus far, any advices?

Pirates of the Caribbean - Ride Through - Walt Disney World

[Unterscharfuhrer]

I first went on this ride in 1979, four times between 1998 - 2001, and I should be going in 4 weeks time. It has always been the same and still thoroughly enjoyable.

[XDsmarties]

when i was little i wouldnt even dare go on this ride.. but now its one of my favorites!!!

[RAWRxmeansxiluvyooxx]

i remember going on this ride in California, and I could smell the food, and I yelled YO WAITER IM STARVING! and then all the sudden we dropped and i didn't know you dropped on this ride and i was like WHAT THE F!!! LOL

[ShutterPhotograpghy]

@RAWRxmeansxiluvyooxx is the drop deep lol?

[Disneylover1023]

@ShutterPhotograpghy I do not know if anyone has gotten back to you yet but no. It does give me that feeling but I am very small and tiny. I dont like drops but I LOVE this drop! just enough to make me smile REAL big!

[RyuxChan]

ill never forget this ride, it was the first one we went on in florida XD

[Adrian101882]

One of the biggest sins about the change over to accommodate Jack Sparrow was the removal of the talking skull.

What a shame..

[mdmechenstien]

@Adrian101882 the talking skull is still there

[33Keith33]

@mdmechenstien I rode POTC at least 4 times since the Jack Sparrow renovations (last visit was a year and a half ago) and the talking Jolly Roger was gone. Did they put it back?

[IOAFLdude03]

is there a 14 ft drop?

[jenne95]

Disneyland is better!

[craigseay]

i forget how old i was, maybe 6 or something, but the drop scared me alot but now that i think back to it it was fun!

[xxLandshark02]

Amazing ride! Except the bayou portion that is in the begining of the Disneyland attraction is missing, which makes me a bit sad :(

[spawn1390]

GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE!!!!

[onceafteratime]

1:01 i love the drop, but is scared me cause i didn't see it coming!

[musicalchix]

I went for the first time on this ride when I was 11 cause I was scared in earlier years, and at the begginning, when you see the skeleton with the steering wheel and when you hear the running water from the hill, I was like, "Crap!! I forgot about the drop!!"

Soooo much fun :D

[Yahiko25]

Disneyland is better than Magic Kingdom. Disneyland have two big drops, one that is 52 feet and the second one is 37 feet. Plus Disneyland have more to show than Magic Kingdom. Plus Disneyland has a restaurant.

[kentuckygurl99]

@Yahiko25 Does it really matter which is better? No, because

1.) The rides are in two totally different parks with two different sets of Imagineers, so of course they aren't going to be the same.

2.) The one in California got a huge renovation that fit the recent PotC movies. This one stays close to the original, so they appeal to different people.

Either way, they are both UNIQUE and I think they are both great. One isn't better than the other

[MailleRox2]

i love that ride soooooooo much and im ten im such a chiken lol or atleast i was lol i know im a dork to

[Dueceboi843]

when we went there we stood in line 4 almost 2 hours

[chellesterlnig]

Black and White? Why no color?

[x10Rose]

Night Vision. If they just did the normal videocamera, you wouldn't be able to see it!

[lexishad]

I love the drop!! (:

[jamiemeredith9]

@lexishad same.

[usuck329]

omg i remember going on this with mhy dad or something at disney like 8 years ago when i was 5

[TheHitchhikingGhost]

This is one of my favorite rides. My family went to Disney World last year, and during the 9:00 SpectroMagic parade, we went through the ride 4 times without having to wait in line because there was no one else there! I should have taken advantage of it and taken some good pictures, but I didn't.

[Yahiko25]

Try the disneyland one, It is much better than Disney World.

[aimannorzahariwod]

i'm going here for my holiday in december from sydney. ..... i'm 14 o.O so yaaaaaah lready jizzed in me pants watching the ridest there >=]

[disneychic898]

omg!!! I MISS RIDING ON THIS!! I love this ride SOOOO much!! I cant wait to go back!!

[BeautifulxNight]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY 3 more days, and im gonna ride that ride.. wow that was a weird sentence.. (what? I'm dutch, i can't spell in english..or was that the right way to write it o.O HAHAH)

Oh i'm sooo excited!

Can't wait. First time ever in WDW!

Been to Disneyland Paris 4 times, but i'm looking more forward to WDW WHOOHOOO!!

[JOHNNYBIX38]

Awesome night vision! I love this ride, especially before the rehab...I wish they would return it to its original state someday and take out Jack Sparrow and especially that cheesy Davy Jones projection

[armoredskis425]

the ride is really boring. the pirates and the atmosphere is pretty cool, but with out it, it would suck even more

[GBev2K]

So without the pirates and the atmosphere the ride would suck? You're right; a ride called Pirates of the Caribbean wouldn't be much good without pirates in it...

[ashROX0617]

so heres the facts. potc was opened at disney world in 1973. there is 1 drop that is 14 feet long and a 45 degree angle. the ride was refurbished in 2006. nothing changed except the characters jack sparrow, barbossa, and davy jones were added. there is no fastpass, there never was. yes is it haunted by george, an engineer who died while the ride was being made.

definitely a classic. it was one of walts favorites. im glad to see such great feed back. i work at potc at wdw and i am very lucky

[GBev2K]

Didn't they take out the talking skull and the voices at the bottom of the drop?

[sakura49134]

You're saying the voices at the bottom of the drop are George?

Those are recordings. Not a ghost.

[ashROX0617]

um there are no voices at the bottom of the drop....just music. and i said nothing about george speaking....

[VattesLori]

When we go through this ride, we always look for the pirate sitting on the bridge with the dirty foot hanging down. Is this California or Florida? If it's California, does it have the pirate with the dirty foot?

[Whitelightng]

Yes they both do...

[vpage1021]

fun ride

[sharkie002]

Is it just me, or did this ride use to have a much bigger drop...? I rode this last around 15 years ago, then again a few weeks ago, I could swear there were 2 drops, a small one followed by a bigger drop. Now its only 1 small drop (6 feet according to wiki-pedia.. Am I crazy...?

[QUEENxTAY]

No, because when I went back in 2000 or so, it did have two drops! =]

[aubesucks]

sorry your both crazy, Its always had one drop

[sharkie002]

Yeh, but how long ago did you ride this for the 1st time...?

[CAPTSCRU33Y]

I've been going to disney world almost every year from 1995

to 2004. When I went on this for the first time in 95, it seemed a lot bigger to me, but as I got to be the age I am now, the drop became no more than a puny fall. I'm sure that the answer you're looking for. I can't wait to go back in march Im so anxious!

[Ryan120420]

I think you are thinking about the one California Disneyland, that one dose have two drops. The one in Florida only has one.

[sharkie002]

I've never been to cali, wouldn't know what that ride is like. I know Im not crazy. Anybody out there rode this in the 80's...?

[ZaChSwAiN00]

night vision my ass

[emohleec]

Heh, last time I went on this, it stopped working near the end. :o They came over the loudspeaker and we had to sit there for a few minutes. It was at a point where little thingies of water were coming out of a barral or something, so we got a little bit wet. :P

[livpink]

i luv the drop!!!

[TheDemonPazuzu]

I've only been to the West Coast Pirates of Caribbean, but wish I could have given that one a spin, too.

[babiie808x3]

i LOVE this ride. i <3 the drop. Even at Cali its liike REALLY GOOD. i love it SOO much. i even like the SMELL of the waters. (even though some might think it smells)

[natedawgninety4]

smell of the waters actually smelled pretty good!

[paperpad12]

i love the drop haha

[Ds1089dylan]

its like your on acid

[LisaArcelo101]

I freakin looovve that ride i loved it when like their was mist and their was a picture of the octopus guy hahaha

[natedawgninety4]

lol i think that is kinda new. i dont remember seeing that a few years ago

[Jr4594]

damn, your lucky you got to see it before they redid it. im not against it being redone but i went the year they closed it and i didnt know, i was so bummed out :(

[XRader0]

This brings back memories. This was one of my favorite rides at Disney World. Plus, this was the version I was on. Good times, Good times.

[wetweasel56]

This ride is so nice. I loved every minute of it as well did my little five year old Molly girl. We had a ball and were lucky enough to have the ride stall for a few minutes so we could enjoy it more.

[masio43]

this ride is haunted, i read about

it. if u say, "george george george" real loud in the fire scence, sumthing strange is supposed to happen

[bluethunder25]

Really?

[commentmutant]

yeah ok sure buddy..

[mayred77]

is the california one supposed to be huanted or the florida one or both?

[sunshineglitterdust]

i love this ride so much it my favourite ever, i came from ireland just to see the updated version! but the visit was slightly marred by the old man in the pirate shop staring at me and smiling all pervy like.

[Jago972936]

dose this one have a water fall

[pinkfloyd530]

yes but its very small i dont know how big the one in disneyland is thou do you?

[commentmutant]

you mean the cheap fogger

[wetweasel56]

Perv he may be, yet you must entertain the possibility that the ol' droog was just simply gandering at your expression of delight and enjoyment. Not all old geezers are hot for young flesh you know.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

I actually like the new one better.

[CommanderCookies]

lol i remember i went there two weeks ago and it kept sayin "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!" and i yelled to the ppl on our boat, "Hey did you hear? Dead men tell no tales!"

[ale81694]

i went on this ride

it has a long line!

and u only get wet a little!

[if ur on the edge]

[MileyRayfan8]

yea i went there in june-july in 2005 and the drop felt like longer....oh well lol

[purplewidow498]

That's so cool!

[1gigliowanananicom]

You can buy some stuff from the actual atractions from an ebay store called mousesurplus. When disney tears down old attractions mousesurplus comes in and auctions off pieces. I got a seat from Alien Encounter and a sign that hung in the magic kingdom during the Happiest Celebration on Earth. You should check them out.

[purplewidow498]

I think I will.

[purplewidow498]

I can't believe the drop is only 14 feet down, it felt like much more to me when I was younger.

[Sportbund]

i was there last year in september (im 31 now) and as soon as i walked through the disney main entrance, i became 10 again :) love jack sparrow and his mates, so...i loved that ride as well :) savy?

[livingdeadgrl415]

This and the Haunted Mansion are my favorite rides at WDW!

[bigb13743]

This ride was GREAT.. I went to Disney the first time in my life last week.. and I'm 20.. even as an older guy.. the things these people can do is AWSOME.

[corkscrewfoley]

I'm 30, and I was just in awe at how well this ride was. The night sky on the ride was identical to outside with the cloud formations. Still, as much as I loved Pirates, Peter Pan's Flight is my fave, and this is coming from a coaster enthusiast.

[congamario654]

im 13 and i hav been to america 50 times...NOT JOKING

[a44gas]

yeah, well, i LIVE in America, so there.

[congamario654]

and i CARE that u live in america ur a fag coz i can afford to go on holiday 5 times a year. you must be so proud to have been born there, yeh so wot if i like america better than where i live, but hav u seen all the comments on your page lately every1 thinks ur a lozer, but ur mum nd dad think ur a lozer and a fag to... oh and why put "so there."? ur not the only 1 who lives there nd if u think th u r u need to see a doctor or go to the hospital coz no1 on youtube likes u!(quotes) so there.

[mileyworld14]

this ride is wow :]

[geeneva101]

out of all the amazing rides they have, this is my favorite. ive always loved this ridee.

[DisneyFreak141]

that ride is awesome. i love the smell in there lol its just on almost all the rides are soo cold

[Shellyfish]

The smell is one of the best things about the ride!

[Yvomcmuffin]

@Shellyfish what does it smells like? rum? lmao xD no really, what's the smell there? is the ride worth it? o.o

[AdrenalineAddict610]

@Yvomcmuffin Depends on which sections you are going through. Imagineers found a way to put smells into certain sections of rides, so you can smell gunsmoke from the ships, and the musty stench of the skeleton caves. It's subtle, but it really sets the mood.

[33Keith33]

@Shellyfish There's a Facebook fansite called "The Smell of Water Inside the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride". made especially for fans of the smell.

[koolgalsingtactomg]

@33Keith33 Omg, thats so crazy, but I do luv the smell... haha.

[Aurablase10000]

@33Keith33 Fans of the smell...? You mean the chlorine or something?

[KILLABOY316]

13 more days =p

[Dragonrider1227]

pre refurb or not, am I the nly one who's pretty much seeing the same ride?

[Flyleaf62525166]

i cant wait to go in sept!!!!!!! XDDDDD

[8acracker]

I'm going in Sept too!!:) 11 more dayyyss!!!:D:D:D

[LolaRose07]

Sooo going on this ride again!! Disney in 8 days!!!

Will be screaming down that little drop!! lol

[ttransponder]

disney devils?minie gay?mickey gay?

[EnigmaticCZM]

i like this bettter than the one with jack barbossa and davy jones, this has more of a classic feel while it seems they re making each land into more of another fantasyland

[Dragonrider1227]

Isn't Fantasyland for the fairytales though? Last I checked, the POTC movies wern't fairy tales

[Shellyfish]

Ah, but POTC is in Adventureland at WDW.

[PONIESrMYlife0131]

i went on the ride the day that it reopened with jack sparrow we waited in line for like 2 hours

[redbomber70]

i went the day it opened got on it 10 minutes i had a fastpass

[truemaggotcoreyisgod]

you mean reopened from refurbishment right?because it opened in Disney land in 1967 and in Disney world in 1973 so and they didnt have fast passes then.

[redbomber70]

yeah

[cpc319]

A must-go-on fun ride. I like the new additions they added to the ride, especially the davy jones

[horsegerbil]

Those pirates have been trying to escape that jail for a long time...It's so classic!

[horsegerbil]

Wow. After riding it with Jack, Davy, and Barbossa included, I can't remember when I rode it like this! It's so awesome!

[littlemisschilepeper]

i cant wait to go there again! its one of my favorite rides!

[cval1293]

i love going on this ride because of the air condition. its good after being outside all day

[tonina1981]

Oh my goodness 2 years seems like so long but it will be here before we know it and I can't wait until we go down this will be so much bun btw will we be going on this ride it looks so much fun. HUH!!!!?

[Xenochan]

The drop is like 2 seconds long lol!

It seemed like a boring ride to me, except I like going through the 3D reflection in the water where they show the pirates face.

[ghijlk]

this is the best ride i went on it like 7 times in a row there is usually not a long line for it either..

[ericfirooz]

these rides smell funny inside

[MarioGirl03]

OMG it's jack! *steals it*

[iheartwicked91]

this and the haunted mansion are the best rides ever!

[shlubs]

So true, so true.

[Zoloft1]

there is a drop, ;] this was one of my fav rides when i was young.

[RyokoMuyo123]

omg i love the drop it's awsome!

[DavitskyPhantom]

wasnt there a drop at the beginning?? i went on it..maybe 3 or 4 years ago.and i remember there being a slight drop at the beginning.lolz that made my older brother scream ahahaha

[kasupego]

i was there at las april it was awesome to go to that wonderfull place !!! i miss that days haha

[MeannieGreenieMonsta]

MEMORiES...I been on that one 3 times. Pre-Jack. But looking forward to riding the new one =]

[reed14567]

oh yes indeed!!!! good luck with your first visit!!!! Youll love but for firstimers it may be overwhelming tho! your luck!

[wolvesalpha]

I'm going to disney world tomarrow for a school fieldtrip! I never been there do they have many ridethrus?

[reed14567]

Im glad for the rehab they just used those excellent Paul Frees voice-overs. For the rehab tho, Everything is great except that weird music around the cannonball scences, its really annoying and too loud. But heck, Walt liked change. So im cool with it

[Sportbund]

guess they changed it while the first movie with jack sparrow...oh sorry...CAPTAIN jack sparrow came out. i remember the original ride, but also like that one. its still fun

[fernanditobello]

when did the ride get changed?' why?

[skullboyz44]

this is bad quality or is it?

[CORNSiLK]

It's wonderful to see how this ride used to be again!

Jack is an awesome animatronic, but I really wish they hadn't changed a classic ride...

[Dragonrider1227]

I like the new version, but it's nice to see videos of it pre-Jack

[Gopokes567]

I love that ride it has alot of memories

[RebelstarDawn]

Cool! now I can go on the ride and I don't even have to travel!

[Cockmongler]

Am I angry? Yes.

[Depplvr1]

what jack is grate

[lindentree]

Before they changed the ride! Great! Man, I wish they hadn't...this used to be my favourite ride before they added Jack Sparrow.

[rainbowspotter]

"Dead, man tell no tales" thanks for taking me on the ride! -laughs- I can't wait to go.

[jensengurl]

awesome! That use to be my favorite ride!

[Gamepro60]

i dare u'1

[Radicalcreations]

I remember this! Thanks for the memory.

[reformedfruit]

Fun.
