The Differences Between: Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean

- Out of the many version's of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the version at the Magic Kingdom has always stood out to me as one of the stranger examples of a cloned Disney attraction. Specifically, the lack of similarities those two attractions have despite being made within a few years of one another. In this video we'll be seeing why that is.
Big shoutout to www.thefloridaproject.com for their piece on the chessboard stalemate rumor. Their article has kept up with that scene for literally more than a decade, really detailed stuff. Check that out here: www.thefloridap...

Thanks for watching
Had the privilege to work at Pirates at WDW shortly after it opened. There were many breakdowns in those early months and we were constantly going into the water to push boats to evacuation points (i think my record was four in one day). Training was grueling as you had to get to any point of the attraction within a few minutes, running over catwalks and behind scenes (and in the dark)!. I can remember the great sense of pride and teamwork as we strove to break ride capacity records to reduce the considerable wait times (over three hours at peak times), and the great after hours parties we had at the local pizzeria Rossi's (now sadly closed). Worst night of my pirate career was getting stuck at unload one night for hours listening to that Barker Bird at the base to the up ramp. FYI the boats are going up a larger ramp on the other side of the wall! Always amazed when someone asked "do you work here?" while I was in costume.
Did you have the exit signs lit up back in those days as well?
I Worked Pirates 1975-1977. I survived the infamous park blackout (when the entire park lost power) and discovered, to out horror, none of the emergency lights worked (only one in the queue came on). And a chaotic evacuation during one breakdown where we realized none of us had actually been fully evac trained. LOL. It was a lot of fun. But most importantly... it was air conditioned!
Thank you for your service!
I’ve been on the Walt Disney World version countless times and just went on the Disneyland version for the first time and it’s like going on a completely different ride! It makes the Walt Disney World Ride look like the store brand version, similar product but lacking something and it obviously costs less. WDW still has a cool queue and surrounding area but the Disneyland version is definitely superior
It's like that with a lot of rides...the DLR version is always superior. Big Thunder Mountain is another good example. the WDW version is missing the main part of the ride...the fuse lighting the dynamite at the top of the tunnel climb. You'd think with all the space they have avaiilable at WDW, they would have improved the rides instead of building them to 90% of the DLR version.
@@achtungpv I disagree, most rides between the two that they share are very similar if not the same with the only two exceptions being pirates and somewhat space mountain. That space mountain WDW is just different but not any less fun then Disneyland's. Pirates WDW doesn't have as much Disneyland's but it still does have charm.
... YES yes YES...
I used to think Pirates was a little overhyped. That's because I had only seen the Orlando version. The Disneyland version is the real deal!
As someone who went to Disneyland a dozen times as a kid, I agree with you about it being the "real deal." I always loved Pirates, and it was a ride that could take so many people that there was almost never a long line to get on. That smell of Bromine as you enter the building.... You never forget how great that is.
Bobby Peru lol I only rode that ride twice in my life because every time I went to Disney World, it was always under construction😂
Same
@@ClayLoomis1958 "I love the smell of 'bromine' in the morning!" ;)
I’ve only been on the Orlando version, but I still think think Disneyland is still better even though I’ve never been on it
There are a couple reasons why the mermaids were removed. The projections vanished not long after they were added in 2012 because they malfunctioned a lot. The skeleton remained on the beach until 2018 and it was removed because, from what I've heard from various cast members, it fell apart. They extended the beach with an evacuation platform during the 2018 refurbishment to make the cast members' jobs easier during ride evacuations. In the beginning of the ride, they originally had to push the boats to the talking skull's platform but now they only have to push the boats to the beach. Now here's where the mermaid comes in: they were moving it over to make room for the platform and while doing so it fell apart. It may sound odd, but I have some evidence to back this up. An Imagineer told me in 2011 that mermaids were planned for Disneyland's beach as well (she even asked me for input on where to put the mermaids), but they were never installed because they were too fragile. It makes me wonder what they were made of.
ive been wondering why they got rid of the mermaid skeleton, thanks for clearing it up. it does look a bit empty without her though :/
What was the mermaid made of, how did it fall apart so fast compared to the original ones
Also what were they gonna do with mermaid in the first place since they tried to move it bit fell apart
Thanks for the shout out. Glad you found my Stalemate page helpful. It became a bit of an obsession to photograph it every time I was in MK. 😄
Very well done video!
A few observations /comments I have.
PotC opened in Anaheim in 1967 actually, nearly 7 years before the MK's opened in Orlando.
Other differences not mentioned in the video is Old Bill, the drunken pirate seen with the kittens, was actually originally at the MK's version only. DL did not add him until after he debuted at WDW's version sometime during the mid-to late 1970s.
Also, the original Jolly Roger at DW's attraction was very different from DL's version. The voice, the skull and dialogue were completely different. I know you mentioned them bringing the skull back very recently, but I don't think you mentioned that the original MK Jolly Roger was completely different from DL's.
Fun fact about the Mermaid skeleton:
I'm a former CM and knew some Pirates workers. They originally just wanted to move the skeleton back, but apparently the paint originally used was highly acidic and they didn't prepare for the way that would harm the infrastructure.
The mermaid literally disintegrated upon them attempting to move it. So I guess, in a way, it's sort of still there. Just look at the dusty sand on the beach haha
Pirates and haunted mansion are my absolute favorite! I got to go to New Orleans last year, but I’ve always wanted since New Orleans square is where in happiest at Disneyland.
Can you make a part 2 explaining the other POTC's? Tokyo's is pretty similar to Disneylands, Paris has a really different layout which I find unique and Shanghai's is completely different than all the others and the greatest Dark ride out there. It should be fun to find out the reasons the other parks versions are the way they are.
Old comment, but Pirates in Shanghai is overhyped and most definitely not the best dark ride out there...
I assume the Paris version has more drops because of the story. There can be storytelling in the attraction, but I don’t think it would be a fan favourite here if everything is in French. It was fun for me though to see the differences between the Paris version (last visit March) and WDW version (only visit May).
The trip around the restaurant (and the restaurant itself) was what I missed most in the Florida ride.
They have something similar at the Mexico pavilion ride i n EPCOT
I'm glad you did this. I've been going to DL most of my life ( 100+ trips ) but only been to MK twice ( in 1974 then again last month.) I bought a stuffed barker bird without knowing what it was. Thanks to this video I now know the significance and kick myself that I didn't know to look for the bird in the Disney Springs store. Darnit.
When your park is way bigger than the original version but you still have to shrink a ride.
I know right?!
Because it wasn't an original attraction and had to be shoehorned in when visitors complained that it wasn't there, in a park with a high water table and no need to drop below the railroad, so a very truncated beginning. And because one Imagineer in particular demanded not to include the uphill waterfall and associated scenes, so a truncated ending.
Michael Thaddeus Doyle Disneyland has almost all the rides Magic Kingdom does, as well as others. Including pirates, splash mountain, and thunder mountain. I understand why it was small, to be made quickly, but they could expand the ride.
That's the thing I never understood. MK is bigger than DL by like 20 acres but DL has so much more in it vs MK.
TheInflatableFeast when you think about it though, they really can't. Pirates at MK is tightly hemmed in by the railroad, Jungle Cruise, and the backstage staging area/access roads for the parade. And just beyond all of that is the monorail right of way. There's really very little they can do.
Mommy, why is Ariel the little mermaid bones now?
She stumbled upon the shiniest decapod
LOL
Sebastian tried to warn her...
I went to Disneyworld's pirates of the Caribbean thinking it was gonna be more extravagant than Disneylands and I was disappointed lol
Space Mountain is better at DL. Big Thunder is a toss up. Splash is better at MK.
@The Genius Trumpman a crappy ride could have the greatest queue but it still makes it a crappy ride (not saying big thunder is a crappy ride). The ride itself is pretty much the same except for the final climb scene. DL upgraded that. So you keep your queue and I will take the better ride scenes.
Just think of those who first went to Disney World then went to Disneyland, not knowing of much LONGER THEIR PotC WAS..
I was highly disappointed too! I just felt under whelmed it seemed like as soon as you got into the ride it was over.
@@carries.213 I did like the splash mountain at MK better!
one of my favorite things about magic kingdom's version is the little ship in the loading area off in the distance.
Hey park ride, you did an amazing job showing between what’s the difference between the Disneyland and the disneyworld’s version of the pirates of the Caribbean alright.
The track layouts aren’t identical, per se. Marc Davis actually took the opportunity to streamline it a bit. In Florida, you approach the dunking scene on a curve instead of head on, making it easier for everyone in the boat to see the scene. There’s more of a division between major scenes like the dunking and the auction, and the chase scene in the burning town, preventing the scenes from bleeding into each other. This was accomplished by adding a few yards of scenery before entering the next area. “Old Bill” was added to Florida as an exclusive character, but was was later copied in California.
The Mexico ride at Epcot is set up the same as Disneyland's blue bayou.
This is one of my favorites cause I love all of the history I think both versions are good. But I do miss Red Head I think she made the ride more realistic to the time period and didn’t have to go despite PC stuff
0:15 Disneyland opened in March of '67, not '68.
I feel like the original park has a charm in general that the Florida one just doesn't quite have. I don't know if I'm just imagining that.
I think in this context, charm and nostalgia are similar. I think whether you grow up on the West coast or the East coast will determine which park you find more charming and memorable.
@@RealSwiggs Def more cramped in Anaheim...but that also means every little corner is filled with something interesting. Also Walt had more of a hand in designing it. But yeah, that's just my opinion. Grew up in California, not Florida. Do love Florida though. The unpredictable weather is exciting to me.
@@RealSwiggs Nah I pushed my east coast fiancee to go to Disneyland and she loves it way more. She genuinely misses it in a way she never did WDW. I'm so happy.
The Magic Kingdom is complete trash compared to the original Disneyland.
I’ve only ever been to the Disney World version so I must reserve my judgement until I go to Disney land
I'd love to see videos on some of the other POTCs!
The Shanghai one is incredible
Pirates opened March 1967 ❤ just a reminder. We celebrated 🎉 55yrs this year 😅
LOVE POTC in DL so much my wife and I rode it 3 times even though we skipped several others that day.
I’d really like to see a video on the carousel theater in Disneyland!
Carousel of Progress- America Sings- Innoventions- Star Wars Launch Bay
The original opened in 1967 actually
Florida = is in the Caribbean
Original WDW park-goers: You guys should put Pirates of the Caribbean here, too!
Original imagineers: Nawww
Differences are my favorite videos
Do the history of THE JUNGLE CRUISE DISNEYLAND (1955-2019)
Born in Orlando. After hearing countless people tell me the one in DisneyLand is better, I finally went last October. Gotta say they are right. I wish they had just gone with the original idea, or gone full out on Pirates. It feels like an incomplete experience now in comparison.
Born in L.A. in 1960., right around March-April 1967 when thbe ruide was new, started my endless stream of rides on the stream (:))...then, 28 years later in Turkey (gobble, gobble!) month, 1995, FINALLY went to Walt Disney World/Magic Kingdom (where, among others, VERY impressed, by the Haunted Mansion, much more so than even Disneyland!), and was expecting, like, you know, the "Bayou", the two drops, the 360 degree ride, yadda yada, then..WHA--the FD? NO Bayou? A smaller drop (and I will add..LATER than the ones at DL), and a 180 degree ending.,.,among others (note, remember, pre-the Jack Sparrow era).
(It's a Small world at Walt Disney World's version of the Magic Kingdom (post0-Walt) also is underwhelming outside,of course, but not on the inside.lA tossup,to be sure)
One of the issues was space... the way Pirates was placed in Orlando meant there was a lot less room - it nearly backs up to the existing incinuater. Dont know why they went that way instead of going longwise towards the monorail station where there was (and still is) expansion room
I only went to Disneyland once and I loved their POTC! I rode it twice!! I loved that it had more to offer! I’m going to Disney world very soon and I heard they added some “surprise elements” to it, so hopefully I’ll see it once I ride it again!
Edit: The surprise elements were okay. But nothing extremely different from the original.
JackieR 30 me too
Please do a story on potc in Shanghai. It is an incredible attraction. Disney at its best.
i was living in shanghai and i was there on the test runs, one of the first persons to ride it, its amazing lots of proyections... but the original in california is still my favorite
Thank you for a very nicely done video. Like a few others I found a minor flaw in the narration, all of the Disneyland skeletal grotto scenes happen in the old walk-through basement, riders pass under the DLRR in the tunnel between the final skeletal pirate and the ship battle. Disneyland does have the pirates in the stalemate chess game, it was added when the pooped pirate became the gluttonous pirate. The chess players weren't there originally.
Coming from Paris, I was excited to experience one of the two original Pirates rides, and I was uh... left sorely disappointed sounds a bit extreme, but that's kind of how I felt? Paris isn't much different from California save from a 2nd drop, but Orlando just felt... a bit empty.
I attended the grand opening of DLP, then know as EuroDisneyland. As someone born in 1961 and been going to Disneyland since I was a child, the Paris version completely blew me away. The Paris attraction's sequence of scenes is more linear, with the dead pirates being at the end, showing their ultimate fate. The dueling pirates, while not looking as impressive now, was amazing at the time.
Regardless of refurbishments and additions of the PotC movie franchise into the ride, I still think Paris' PotC is the best of all the parks, and Walt would have been proud of the Imagineers who crafted it.
Chess pieces moving ... Has Disney ever heard of that high tec problem solver...GLUE ?
when I went to the orlando one I thought it would be better, but it wasn't. It had only one drop
Disneyland 80's version still my favorite but definitely want to see the new one from 2016 looks really cool
My family and I went to WDW in 2010 and 2014, loved the ride. When we went back in 2018 we noticed the skull and were like “oh that’s new” so now our picture is us pointing at the camera looking kinda confused
Aren’t the chess playing skeletons in the Disneyland grotto? How is it specific to Florida?
12:01 Nah, they knew the camera was there.
Awsome video and very detailed. Well done.
Classic example of overthinking and then rushing to correct the mistake when they built WDW. Honestly think they are doing the same thing with the refurbishment of Splash Mountain.
Since it appears a lot of people don't know.. Louisiana was full of pirates, a lot of the southern portion of the state is named after them.. including among many others Jean Lafitte. Among other things he and his family smuggled goods across the gulf of Mexico, from all regions in the Caribbean Sea into New Orleans which was the largest port on the Mississippi River.. thus making them "Pirates of the Caribbean". The entire set up in New Orleans square and the Bayou Lafitte makes perfect sense and is historically accurate for the most part.
Wish we got western river expedition
Last rumor I heard they said they were going to take out red .Due to more people complaining it’s sexist .I don’t know they were pirates .
I hope they just leave the rides alone . They are classic
Jessica Coy they switched red from being for sale to being a lady pirate selling chickens. It’s been like that since 2018 or late 2017.
@@hollyxdear no more "we wants the red head" :(
@@Churrros The joke is their dialogue changed to "We wants the RUM" sounding similar to their old lines. I never found it sexist, it was HISTORY. And I don't recall that many female pirates, nor times when Pirates would sell off their stolen goods.. sorry it's facts. They sold slaves and women.. not paintings.
@@kelsmister exactly which is why I'm upset that they changed it, it was completely unnecessary
@@kelsmister Literally no part of Pirates of the Caribbean is historically accurate, what kind of argument is that? Its not a documentary, its a light-hearted watered down version of the idea of pirates, 'n selling women was slightly uncomfortable so they cut it. Its not really a big deal in either direction
Here's hoping one day we have a Western River Expedition in the Magic Kingdom @ Walt Disney World as well as an expansion of sorts to Pirates of the Caribbean, so that it more closely resembles the Disneyland version - at least w/the grotto section.
Maybe when Western Stuff gets cool again. But most likely they will make more stuff for their modern franchises.
4:32 Smh at whoever threw that book to knock over the pieces
4:47 Dallin wants to know your location...
That was a good video!
I have been on Pirates "Disneyland" a million times----well almost a million times. The first time I went on Pirates at WDW it was quite a letdown to say the least. But Mr. Todd's Wild Ride is much better at WDW, well it was till Disney took it out for some lame reason. Really Mr. Todd's Wild Ride was removed for winnie the pooh, UGH. Next, they'll make Snow White's Scarry Adventure less scarry----oh, wait they did..... lol
I remember the mermaids and thought they were a nice touch! Nice video!
I rode the Paris and California version before riding the Orlando version and was super underwhelmed by Orlando's version.
If I was in charge of the parks I would make the pirates at WDW just as good and being the birds back
History of the great movie ride cant believe they closed it felt like a family member passing I'd love to see you do that ride in your next video
What’s a “new red character” ?
Why am I now getting this video and it says it was posted 8 hours ago
Me too!
TH-cam is more of a mess than usual at the moment. There are problems across multiple channels.
Well your guys comments were 5 years ago so maybe it wasn’t a glitch
Nice that you have (like the "(Grateful) Dead" concert reference in the second HaUNTED Mansion video) the funny tags.BTW 1967 was the year the first one debuted,,,or did I and millions of others ride a GHOST ship done by soon to be hapyn haunts of a certain nearby MANSION?
You should do a history video of Muppet Vision 3D in Disney California Adventure.
Dodger 99 OMG I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT ATTRACTION! Aw, but I remember it so well! I was probably 5-6 years old when I first experienced it.
I live about an hour and 30 minutes away from Disney and I don’t go often but I love this ride so much, yet I’ve never been to the bayou restaurant by it, should I go? What do they serve? The PRICES......
I can’t tell you what to do, but pretty much all of Disney’s recipes are online now; take a look and maybe even make a dish as a test run before you decide to sink money into it (Disney’s prices tend towards the high end; for example, a scotch egg at a local restaurant is $5.50. At Rose and Crown, it’s $12)?
I remember being blinded by the Skull’s flash photography because of how bright it was.
PIRATES LIFE FOR ME
Please Don’t forget PAUL FREES! He was the voices and you never mentioned him as a contributor!
I lived with his family in the last 60’s and Abigail and I were pals!
Paul did the voices and would take me to Disneyland in his Rolls
Royce ! We would go to Club 33, I was like 5!
Please don’t forget Paul!!
Disneyland hands down. Not only is it longer but my first trip to the world was this last spring and I noticed.. no smell.
The mermaid projection itself was removed due to it displaying computer errors on the water instead of a mermaid in the water, however it still is a unknown reason as to the removal of the skeleton and the mermaid chest prop from the movie. I was fantasying that it was for the little kids who just got off of Ariel lol
It opened six years after the original opened in March 1967. It opened in December 1973.
March 1974 was the SEVENTH anniversary of the original..
Steve Carras yes, still DL’s Pirates wouldn’t be quite seven years old when its Florida counterpart opened, but I get what you mean.
It is not a "ride", it is an "attraction!"
I've only been to Walt Disney World once a this ride was Closed😢So maybe next time.
Its one of my Favorites at Disneyland.
youll be disappointed
Dungeons are actually a space in the outer wall. The term dungeon is so commonly misused.
Went 2 the opening yr of
DL....never been to DW...never will....DL is what I knowp❤️💙💛🖖✌️
The queue is much better at WDW, but Disneyland has the better ride.
@park ride history I have a question, in disneyland california, paris and tokio the talking skull takes the photography of the ride or is only from magic kingdom ? Greetings from Colombia.
i have the same question, please give me an answer
PoTC opened in 1967 in Disneyland, not 68
Despite the Disney World version lacking a lot of the elements from the Disneyland version, I still kind of like it.
Also, I kind of like to think that it has a slightly different story when compared to the original.
At the Magic Kingdom, you're not traveling to the Caribbean in the time of the Pirates. You ARE already there.
As the Wicked Wench approaches the fort, you climb aboard your longboat and make a hasty escape through the caves below the fortress and sail through the town just as its being ransacked by the pirates.
I got to see the red headed woman being auctioned off when we went to DW in 2017. Sadly when we returned in 2019 my daughter was too scared to go on it to see the change.
Can someone confirm this, because I can't remember but I always found the Disneyland Paris version to be a bit 'wilder' and bigger drop than the Magic Kingdom version. Or maybe I just grew older and now everything looks so small in the ride.
I haven't ridden the Paris version but I've watched it from many sources on TH-cam. Since you can see the pirate ship from above before you drop, I'm assuming the drop is a lot bigger than the WDW version. It's an entire story down, whereas I'm guessing WDW's is about half that. Such things can be deceiving though, especially in the dark.
The Pires authentication is not more it is defined cus of one person side some thing
Could you make a differences of video about Splash Mountain next?
I have a video idea how did Universal Studios Mardi Gras Begin?
Honestly I would have liked to have seen the western ride
I think it would be interesting if the WDW version extended the ride show building (building on the other side of the railroad) by moving the grotto scene there and adding the missing grotto scenes (drinking skeletons, captain's quarters, and mountain of treasure), as-well as the drunk pirates with the guns and canons (from the end of DL's version). And, in the area where the original grotto scene was, add the beach and wrecked pirate-ship (from the beginning of the DLP version).
0:40 The one at Disneyland opened in March of 1967 and the one at Magic Kingdom opened in December of 1973. I am no math wizard but your math is wrong. Pirates at WDW was not an opening day attraction. Imagineers didn't include it to MK originally because they were so close to the real Caribbean and they figured guests wouldn't be interested. They were wrong and so they slapped this one together to have it open by the end of 73'
And I have 1 question. Can you please do a comparison between all of the pirates of the Caribbean that is around the world or maybe it’s a small world attractions that there are around the world alright?
For somebody who doesnt live in the US, I think Pirates in Paris is second, compared to florida and videos ive seen in california.
(One day I will get to the best version, I promise!)
You guys- JACK IS BACK!!!!
I've been on Pirates in Florida and Paris... certainly think Paris's is better, but this video suggests that it was inspired a lot more by California than Florida- even if the ride is different from both US versions by having all the grotto scenes at the end. Gotta get my way to Disneyland Anaheim someday!
Interesting note on that. Marc Davis helped with the new layout for Paris. At Disneyland, the skeletal grotto was placed at the beginning because of the low ceiling. In Paris it was moved to the end so you could see how the Pirates ended their lives. Also, Paris never goes underground, the lift hill is needed so you can drop later.
Was the Utilidors underneath effect the ride?
Disney World’s Barbosa animatronic is wearing a different outfit.
Also, search up “the History of Caribbean Plaza”
I went to Orlando this February. And I didn't like the pirates of the CarribeanI prefer the Anaheim version.
Went to DW for the first time in years since I'm closer to DL and was excited to show my friends who hadn't been how awesome Pirates was...this makes sense why it felt flat to me
Inaccuracies in this video: POTC at Disneyland opened in 1967, not 1968, and the WDW version nearly 7 years after the Disneyland version, not 4. If you’re going to make videos like this get your research correct and your facts straight.
Disney Land: Has the Bayou scenery and the restaurant across the river, along with TWO drops! Also the Pirate cave has the mountain of treasure with the dead pirates hanging out at the bar, the harpsichord playing itself and the dead pirate in the bed looking at his map.
Florida: Has a much more immersive queue line that snakes through the Spanish fort, but it lacks pretty much everywhere else, almost like they deliberately removed stuff.
Theres an onride photo for the Florida version? Why?!
Yeahhh.... Disney World does a few things better than Disneyland, but Pirates ain't one of 'em.
Can you do a video on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster?
Don’t get me wrong the pirates movies are great but I hate the fact that whenever I talk about pirates of the Caribbean (to people who haven’t been to the park)) think I’m talking about the movies
Alright, this one jumped out at me. Pirates of the Caribbean opened at Disneyland in 1967. Check out the Wonderful World of Disney episode "From the Pirates of the Caribbean to Tomorrowland".
That episode was produced in 1967.
Please do one on the Enchanted Tiki Room! The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room! Applause!! I think I shall sing solo, (Aw. but so low you can't hear me.)
I read that the big drop was placed in that spot because the ride needed to go under the railroad above it in the Magic Kingdom. That's a cool fact, if true.
And it has a ramp escalator just like the exit to DLR haunted Mansion.
