Picture, if you will, the eerie and cavernous headquarters of the infamous Blackbeard, or the swampy bayous on the treasure-laden island of John Laffite. Take a page out of history when pirates sacked the Spanish Main, looted cities, set them ablaze, auctioned off the fair ladies and conquered fortress after fortress. Combine all of this with the most hilarious blackhearted buccaneers the world has ever seen, and you have a small idea of the excitement you’ll experience on a visit to Disneyland’s New Orleans Square this Summer for the Park’s newest adventure, the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Using the most advanced techniques of the space age, Disney designers and “Imagineers” (the company’s word for imaginative engineering) have assembled an adventure not only unlike any other in the world, but unequaled entertainment-wise too.
In the best Disney tradition, not a moment is wasted. As the ride begins, the action begins, and boatbourne guests literally “plunge” into the adventure with a thrilling splash down a 52 foot waterfall.
From there on it’s action and hilarity every league of the way - right up to the exciting climax and grand finale, when an entire port city is set ablaze, right down to the town arsenal full of powder kegs.
How do you escape the raging holocaust - only at Disneyland could you “fall up” a waterfall.
