The Differences Between: Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean

[@brianc1701]

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.

[@johnlynch42069]

Did you have the exit signs lit up back in those days as well?

[@richardperhai8292]

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!

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

[@achtungpv]

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.

[@highfive2935]

@@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.

[@scottpearce8772]

... YES yes YES...

[@Seantendo]

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!

[@ClayLoomis1958]

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.

[@matthewheid1645]

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.

[@memethyst]

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 :/

[@ItzAdrian02]

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

[@MissMTurner]

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. 😄

[@HitchhikingHatbox]

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

[@nestoons4539]

When your park is way bigger than the original version but you still have to shrink a ride.

[@RakoonCD]

I know right?!

[@chicagocarless]

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.

[@nestoons4539]

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.

[@carries.213]

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.

[@chicagocarless]

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.

[@DarthBrtt]

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.

[@carries.213]

Space Mountain is better at DL. Big Thunder is a toss up. Splash is better at MK.

[@carries.213]

@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.

[@SteveCarras]

Just think of those who first went to Disney World then went to Disneyland, not knowing of much LONGER THEIR PotC WAS..

[@funtimeswithtom4108]

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.

[@EEvtg]

Old comment, but Pirates in Shanghai is overhyped and most definitely not the best dark ride out there...

[@TomMRiddle96]

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).

[@erinmalone2669]

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.

[@jacobbritton7359]

Florida = is in the Caribbean Original WDW park-goers: You guys should put Pirates of the Caribbean here, too! Original imagineers: Nawww

[@brianholm1404]

0:15 Disneyland opened in March of '67, not '68.

[@disneyutilidork350]

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.

[@fifthrider]

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.

[@deaklonis9770]

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.

[@SteveCarras]

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)

[@richardperhai8292]

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

[@lilyderooij]

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

[@ct6852]

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.

[@trekkeruss]

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.

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.

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

[@waymire01]

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.

And, in the area where the original grotto scene was, add the beach and wrecked pirate-ship (from the beginning of the DLP version).

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'

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.

[@hiridavidfeign]

I haven't ridden the Paris version but I've watched it from many sources on KZbin. 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.

[@Beetlejuice_Sam]

Can you do a video on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster?

[@jimbodeek]

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.

As an "east coast" kid frequenting Disney World, I finally made it to Disneyland as an adult. That is when I was able to compare the attractions at both parks. Disneyland's Pirates is far better, as well as most of the other "duplicate" attractions. This was before the People Mover "mistake", for that may have been better too...

That was a good video!

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.

Yeahhh.... Disney World does a few things better than Disneyland, but Pirates ain't one of 'em.
