Disneyland-Pirates of the Caribbean. The Whole Ride. Sept. 1990. 

I concur! My dad was this type of guy that documented all family vacations always lugging around heavy a VHS camera and all it's accessories. I used to be embarrassed by it, but now appreciate the fact we have videos like this including the footage from the 20,000 League's Underneath The Sea ride that was shut down years ago. I wish I had all his recordings to convert to upload this type of content for people to enjoy .

not only held it, but brought it into the park and got it onto the ride. I bet the other passengers were thrilled this person had a massive camera held up

Peter thank you for your comment this subject interest me to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie has a scene of Jack Sparrow and some pirates stuck in jail and there is a dog holding the keys in his mouth for the jail cells just like in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the movie has other scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, in there movies and the pirates have the same style of clothing of the pirates on ride! You can see the whole ride of the 1990 Pirates of the Caribbean at this link... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QED8E-p7WTo.html

+MrDisneyfanman: Cap'n Jack even sings "Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life for Me".

I always felt the Tortuga scenes in the first and second movies felt heavily inspired by the ride as well. Especially the outside scenes with the pirates all hanging out and drinking and also the woman.

David Watties if the ride was too creepy for young children, I don't think it would've existed. I rode it when I was 5, and loved it. I've yet to hear from anyone who rode it back then and say the loved it.

Skart Brimpson I was 6 in 1990. Was one of my most memorable childhood memories. Stop being an uptight idiot.

I thought it was politically correct crybabies that changed it

Yup, PC/SJW idiots ruined it. It wasn't creepy at all. The new version is just as "creepy" as the old one, but that's the damn point, they are pirates! People seem to think pirates are nice awesome dudes. NOPE, they rape, murder and steal to their dark hearts content. They were terrible monsters, and yet today we idolize them as if they were heroes. Thank the PotC franchise for making people think pirates were cool dudes and not blood thirsty terrorist villains of the sea. But hell, they were still badass! :D

Aye, that be true!

nice bro Same here. Literally crushes my heart knowing the ride will likely never resemble what it did in the 1990s ever again.

Same

yup

Damned straight.

Much better

Thats why I put the videos so people can see Disneyland's past! Thank you for your cool comment!

Yep! This was even before they changed the pirate holding the lady's lingerie and her hiding in the barrel.

Disney is so woke now its sad..Walt Disney is turning over in his grave.

I always use to crack up at the angry lady chasing the pirate

Thank you for your very Best ride quotes - that was very clever and funny Matey! Dead men tell no tales - There be squalls ahead and Davy Jones locker!

don't be chiiiicken is my favorite part!

I will not talk, I will not (Gargle) talk!

+Sergio Meza I have heard about that! I forgot Pat''s name! Thanks for the cool info Matey!

Angelina Granado Your very welcome, thank you for cool comment! I hope your son enjoys the videos and sees what it originally looked like!

Thanks for sharing, killer story! Yeah, the new ride is boring to me with all the toning down they did.

When I was around four years old,this ride actually didn't scare me and I kept wanting to ride it over and over. However, I hid behind my mom while riding the Haunted Mansion and was absolutely terrified. I just remember her tapping my shoulder to look at the "dancing ghosts" on the ballroom floor than immediately went back into hiding until we were about to get off the ride and thought the "ghost" sitting to me on our cart was real. When I brought my daughter when she was 3 years old to WDW, she wasn't afraid of both rides, but hated the It's A Small World ride. The ride broke down when we were on it and were stuck in the same spot for 20 minutes while having to listen to that song over and over. That was the most terrifying experience ever ! Lol

+TexasWholesaler Your welcome! Thank you for the cool comment!

Never thought about that until you mentioned it! Thank you for your intresting comment!

Just found this video and reading through the comments now, I know the answer to this, yes the way the ride used to be the boat would stop to allow the jolly roger to talk and tell you the rules of the ride before you dropped, I was about 5 or 6 when I first went on it back in 94-95 I remember it clearly a lot less people at that time too, however as the park has become more crowded they had to make some changes to how the ride operated to allow as many people to get on as they could, it makes for a much quicker ride through and you tend to miss some of the dialog, not to mention the boats never touched till towards the end of the ride when you were brought back to the front of the ride area, now it seems you tend to bump into the boats before the drop off (to allow time for the boat ahead to go through) and you have very little distance between boats during the ride. All in all it comes down to management of time and people, squeezing as many people onto a ride in as much time as is possible because of how popular it is and how many people there are visiting the park.

I remember even in the early 2 thousands that he still used to do his whole spiel

It smells so moist, doesn’t it?

That and the damp wood of the boats

It has always been my favorite ride at WDW with 20,000 League's Underneath The Sea ride (before if was closed) I heard you can buy candles online that smell like the ride!

guevara7E I got to record that part on my iPhone (it was at WDW though) when I went last Thanksgiving. 😉

Feminism strikes again.

😆

what do you mean?

The ride is so horrifically dark now. The lights are way low. They weren't so dim years ago.

Thank you for your very cool comment!

I was born in 2002 also and I wish I could have seen it originally also

I was born in 2005 and I wish I could see it originally also.

@@SirBuzz I think the barker bird was at the tiki room. also you can actually see(and control) the animatronic at the Disney family museum in san Francisco

whatever floats yer boat

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for comment!

How? It's the same thing except for like 2 new scenes (1 replacing the last one with Captain Jack Sparrow and the other just being a fog scene with the flying Dutchman.

I still love this ride myself!

***** I agree and I think the fog affect is cool! I wish they did keep the original ride but by updating the ride more people want to go on it and yet it's still a great ride! The best ride in my opinion at all the Disney Parks!

Expose your superstructure

Just be grateful you get to go to Disney. I’ve never gone before myself.

old VHS video camera...they don't record well in low light,makes everything seem far darker than it is.But I am sure it was truly darker back then.Now everything is so lit up with more advanced lighting it takes away the raw and creepiness

As much as Barbossa is cool he should stay in just the movies, it's a shame that almost all of Paul Freeses voice work for the ride has almost been entirely erased.

And since they put barbossa in they should have left him in his pirate attire not his privateer outfit

cmm3699 😂😂

Yeeaah!

I believe there is a video on YT of the ride when it first opened where that audio was used.

+Erika Miller Thank you for your cool comment!

overhauled? you mean keelhauled! haha

The 2 drops are still there at the beginning of the ride That’s the only way you can get below ground level since the ride is below ground level is where the ride is housed that’s why at the end of the ride there’s a hill that you climb to go back to ground level.

Cool, I havent been to Disney World yet!

I think most people like the original Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland best, its a longer ride too!

Godly _Awsomeness1111 the drops in this vid look about the same. I was scared the drop would be too much for my 2yo but he loved it. More singing pirates is always a good thing though!

the current version still has Pirates Life for Me tho what are you talking about

Daniel Alonzo Cital Thank you for your comment! I have been going on the Pirates of the Caribbean since it opened in 1967 and it has always had only the two drops into the Caribbean!

MrDisneyfanman wow can't believe I remembered incorrectly. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Daniel Alonzo Cital Your welcome Matey!

Omg same and everyone says I'm going crazy. There was one point with a third drop at the end and my friends remember it also!

There needs to be a drop at the waterfall they added.

cool

There was nothing there only the blacknes of the cave and the Pirate voices which at the time was kinda spooky then at the end of the cave we see the Pirate ship! Cool question and comment - thank you!

I love the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, but wish they left the ride alone.

Arr Matey that it would be!

Actually the original pirate captain is in Disneyland Paris

And the new captain is actually Geoffrey Rush

One could argue all of America peaked in the 90s. Is there anything that the awesomeness hasn't been watered down since? Some blame corporations. Some blame the Jews. Personally, I blame feminism. The more you see females involved in the decision making process of something, kiss anything great about it goodbye.

Not Disneyland, but this is how I remember Disney World in the late 80's-early 90's. Caption EO was awesome to experience in person!

exactly

I enjoyed the franchise ,but will also agree that they should have left the ride itself alone.

They were changing it up before the movies even. I do enjoy the movies...well the first 3. Agreed they should have left it alone, other then maintenance and replacing parts that didnt work anymore. It's a historic attraction, and had atmosphere through the roof.

Ouch!

+CrazyForLego Yes, kinda, there was a heavy set animatronic Pirate that sat on a couple of Barrels just on the bottom corner of the waterfall that your boat go's up! In the late nineties they took out the pirate on the shaking barrols and put in two pirates one pushing up a large treasure chest full of booty up the incline next to the watterfall and and another pirate pulling it up with a rope wraped around the treasure chest right where Jack Sparrow sits now, they took out the two pirates and the treasure chest and put Jack in there place! The blinking eyes have allways been in the attraction from the very beginning when it opened!

The ride was invented by suits. The ride was ruined by the inclusion of women in decision making processes.

@@LavishPatchKid if you say so...

It was MUCH better the original way

@@MP-zf7er Do you think Walt and Co went to work in baggy pants and a A-shirt? Business men have been around a lot longer than the last 20 years of everything being ruined. But you know who has entered the scene more and more in that time frame? I know it's not "politically correct", but it's the truth. There will be nothing beyond mediocre from here on out until dudes wake up.

@@LavishPatchKid being a business man and being a corporate establishment bigot are two different things
