𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 ...The original concept of Pirates was an underground Wax Museum? At the Disneyland Park. (Anaheim) The Museum would be where you go down into the basement in the cave scene, there would be the New Orleans-themed Blue Bayou Mart featuring a Pirate Wax Museum. 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. Pirates of the Caribbean is a dark water ride at Disneyland Park 1968 (Anaheim), Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom (Florida) 1973, Tokyo Disneyland 1983, Disneyland Park (Paris) 1992, and Shanghai Disneyland 2016. Pirates of the Caribbean opened on March 18, 1967, at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, three months after Walt Disney's death. There are quite a few differences between all Pirates rides. The original Pirates could be found within the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland, the Magic Kingdom version was now in Adventureland. This change is mostly brought on by the lack of available space in the park. The Pirates in Magic Kingdom's loading Bay is unnamed, unlike infamous "Lafitte's Landing" over at Disneyland. In the Magic Kingdom, visitors board the boats from both sides, while in Disneyland visitors board from one side and exit the other. In the first scene in Magic Kingdom, you see the blue Bayou Restaurant where you see fireflies and an old man in a hut. In the Florida version, the man and the cabin are completely absent, and the Blue Bayou Restaurant is not present. That portion was switched out with a quick view of the ocean and a ship. The Magic Kingdom, Pirates has no basement. In Disneyland, the Tressure Room was added in 2006 and the characters were added to it, the Magic Kingdom version already had a Tressure Room. In the Magic Kingdom version, the Auction Scene has been an adaptation in 2018, as well as switching out the original redhead animatronic with the new redhead character, who's now auctioning off some of the town's pillaged goods. #disneyland #waltdisneyworld #magickingdom #piratesofthecaribbean #rollercoasters #rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts #themepark #amusementparks #insiderfacts #darkrides #specialeffectsstage
