[Newly Refurbished July 2022] Pirates Of The Caribbean Full Ride - Front Row Lowlight POV Disneyland

[@catspasm2004]

Love that there aren't boatloads of people chattering throughout the ride. Actually able to enjoy the quiet in the beginning of the attraction. Thank you.

[@themeparksteve1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mrsg3772]

Am I the only one who could smell this video? This ride always had a very distinct smell that brings back good memories.

[@SweetJeopardy]

Absolutely! They should bottle it cause it immediately transports me to being a kid feeling excited and having a fun, fantastic time.

[@46pennrdprix]

@@SweetJeopardy they do bottle it actually and you can buy park/ride scents online

[@jamesg6675]

I was just thinking that!

[@paulabarnes3351]

A bit of a dank mildew. I thought of it when we went through the swamp. Ahh nostalgia. The new ride has extreme lighting, less subtle and believable. Thank you for this video, I had been to Disneyland about 25 X but at 73 I know I won’t go again. 😊

[@definitiveenergy1]

The dog with the key, always my favorite part of the Pirates ride...

[@SweetJeopardy]

Same. I'll forget my name before I do that tune they whistle, lol

[@jgmopar]

Pirates and the Haunted house were my favorites as a kid. Adventure through inner space and Mr. toads wild ride were always on our list as kids and running around on Tom Sawer Island. The earliest I can remember being at Disneyland was 1973-74

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

The general consensus seems to be those two rides as the favorite. I was disappointed when they removed rides like the People Mover and some of the slower rides that were nice to do just to relax after walking for so much.

Well done! Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite Disneyland ride, and it's gotten much better over the years. This video is by far the closest thing to actually being there.

[@Valkonnen]

No actually, to be more PC, they removed all of the aspects of what pirates were. When bullying by a political group, forces a piece of art to change, so it won't offend anyone (Which it NEVER did when people were normal), it ceases to be "Art". I'm sure that most reasonable people understand this.

[@goodoakpress]

@@Valkonnen sorry to hear it. It's been years since I've been to Disneyland. Pirates was always my favorite ride, and back then people simply had fun.

I absolutely love this ride and it is my favorite by far. Stunning animatronic scenes, beautiful caves, lights and even the scent of the water. Not to mention that it's just a calming ride with the two drops mixed in.

[@aleisevl]

This ride is so calming and peaceful after doing a fast ride except for that little jump.

[@kathyjaneburke2798]

I went to Disney land almost 55 years ago and I still remember this ride. I loved it! Though, as an adult I find the repeated "upbeat" version of the song, especially during the darker parts a bit annoying.

i would advise against riding "It's a Small World" if you find the pirate song annoying.

I grew up 15 minutes away from Disneyland and used to go all the time when it was $20 to get in and not totally overcrowded. Not anymore. This ride was a classic and it hasn’t changed much over the years which is good

[@Positivekitten]

Me too !!! I loved having Disneyland and Knotts berry farm practically in my backyard! I miss those times.

[@Olderthandirtcaligirl]

I’ve been going to Disneyland since they opened and there never was, nor ever will be, a better ride than The Pirates of the Caribbean!! Absolutely incredible!

[@adventuresontheroad1969]

Your videography was VERY well done as you moved your camera so fluently along with the boat. You didn't "swing it around" like many might have done, keeping the ride as if it were being seen by us, the viewer. Very Well Done sir!

[@themeparksteve1]

Thanks!

[@David-sc2ir]

I remember as a kid (mid 70's) this was the E ticket ride to go on! How many remember A B C D E tickets? LOL, probably not many :)

[@joannevilchis3529]

I remember!😂

[@tejaswoman]

My only knowledge of it is a quick mention of it in Julie Brown's novelty hit "The Homecoming Queen" - at the time, I had no idea what an "E" ticket was and grasped only the gist that it must be something desirable or impressive.

[@hankbrown2871]

Getting rid of the tickets and the ticket books was one of the early first steps in the ruin of Disney.

We would save the unused tickets for the next time we went there.....gen X here.

[@margaretwilliams6114]

Love this version of Pirates. Always so much better than WDW version, biggest thing is longer. More scenes in this. I like this inside line setup with it open to the outside instead of going in and down. They could have done the same at WDW if they didn't go down with the entrance line.

[@KuSShed0ut]

I'm so sad the drunk guy at top is not there anymore we used to say it was our uncle 😢

[@sandramorey2529]

Thank you. In the olden days (1970's) we'd run to go to our favorite rides first. First would be the mules, then Pirates, then Haunted Mansion. Then we'd do them all again. I was just a kid of 35, but I enjoyed the heck out of it. Not likely I'll get there again, so thank you for taking us along on this video ride.

[@mishalleroza-ingram6394]

Pirates of the Caribbean was my most favorite ride of all times. One year when I went there the ride broke down right before one of the overpass Bridges in there and we were stuck there for over a half an hour and I loved it.❤️

[@theonlineferret]

My ride I didn’t really brake down , the boats kept bumping into each other and I almost got stuck on the lift hill where the pirates were shooting each other

Thanks for sharing this. Visiting DL was nearly a yearly event for us when my kids were growing up. Throughout the years I must have visited every part of the park. Pirates ride was and continues to be a favorite. At time stamp 8:50 when the seller yells at the lady "show us your ..". It also used to add something like "no reason to show your superstructure". Perhaps they have removed this dialogue but I found it to be amusing. I think at the same location there was a well dressed mannequin that would tug at her skirt pulling it up. That too seems to be missing.

[@janiceterrigno7797]

Thank you for posting that video. I just don’t understand the theme at the beginning of the ride especially that cabin with the man sitting outside! It looks like they couldn’t figure out what to put in the beginning of the ride. I love Pirates of the Caribbean I’m glad they kept the original ride towards the end.

[@fancyDisneyBella]

They got rid of the skeleton that was drinking the bottle and you could see the wine drink going through its bones

[@matthewfritz]

I'm so glad they got rid of the Davey Jones projection in the mist leading up to the ship battle scene. I'm also glad they brought back X. Atencio's original narration about the treasure being cursed. The last time I rode this was in September 2019 and I can't remember if those changes were there too; I do remember the octopus though!

Great filming! I used to go on the ride about 5-10 times every visit when I was young. There has been some changes. There used to be two big drops and one medium sized at the beginning. During the ship battle before going to town, Jack was originally on the ship ordering the men to fire. He was also featured more throughout the scenes. They also took out my favorite part. The bride auction with a beautiful women dressed in dressed at the center point. The climb up out of the ride used to be a lot longer. The ride back to the queue/island used to be wider. I loved being able to see the candles on the restaurant tables inside. The restaurant that was there was awesome too. Perfect dining by candlelight.

[@Jyslinn]

They did take out a lot of Jack. And I liked the bride auction too. Jack is in the barrel instead of a woman. All, well, I won't be going anyway. Too expensive.

That was a great trip down memory lane. Still pretty much as I remember it. It has been many years since I’ve been there as it just got too expensive. (I live about 60 miles away.) Never realized that was a 15 minute ride. And I will never forget the smell of the place when you first get inside. When I was very little (3 or 4), I was terrified of the ship battle as I hated loud noises and spent that part of the ride with my head in mom’s lap crying. This is my only ‘experience’ with fireflies. BTW, this was superb camera work!

[@haunanishelton2705]

I don’t know if it was your camera or the updates, but the brightness in there was awesome!! Every time I go I would think…it’s getting soo dark. Thank you so much for doing this. I wanna go now. Now I hope they update Haunted Mansion.

[@Freedomring-uk6yd]

thx 4 da sneak peek ...disney sure did suck this ride!

[@bubhub64]

The bayou scene at the beginning is much too light from what I remember. It used to be much more dark and ominous, like it was nightime, which made it easier to see the fireflies. The buildings on fire at the end of the ride seem like glowing projections of fires, in contrast to where it used to look like actual flames coming out of windows. Why change it? Sometimes too much technology screws things up. Everything is too bright which takes away the erieness of the ride. I like my old Pirates better.

[@ryanm4013]

I agree. The fire used to look much better years ago

[@Adam13Chalmers]

Overall, it did seem brighter, and like they introduced more color (noticed it at those first scenes after the drops). Agree the swamp felt different and brighter. Is that a lit up background in the swamp? Also seemed to go faster through the swamp, and maybe the boat moves faster everywhere? Some of the differences may be how the camera picks it up...Anyway, great video and picture quality in the low lighting! Thanks!!
