ARRRR MATEY!!!!

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW TO JOIN THE AUDIO-ANIMATRONICS CREW OF DISNEY’S PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ATTRACTION

A bit of news from the happiest place on Earth. It seems that the characters Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbosa from the films Pirates of the Caribbean and the soon to be released Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest will soon be joining the other pirates at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Most of you who read this will know this is my favorite ride of all time and Disneyland is my favorite place of all time and I believe this is some exciting news. The film is based on the ride and now the movie is having some influence on the ride. I like the idea that the characters will be woven into the exsiting ride in key scenes that pertain to the films. It will be fun to spot these characters as the film featured key scenes from the ride itself. Pirates of the Caribbean was able to succesfully do what The Haunted Mansion miserably failed to accomplish. The ride with the new additions will be open at Disneyland on June 26th and at Disney World on July 7th just in time for the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest also on July 7th.

The original Pirates of the Caribbean ride opened March 18, 1967, in New Orleans Square at Disneyland in California. The ride features 120 audio-animatronic performers. More information on the ride can be found on the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD.
