The Pirates of the Caribbean Construction

Now this attraction needs no introduction, we all have ridden it and appreciate it as one of the most creative attractions in the park. Walt had a hand in all aspects of it but passed away before it opened. So despite what some think, he did see it. I have seen very few changes over the years to this attractions and for good reason. It's a masterpiece as it sits. When the pirates movies came out they made a few changes and did some other tweaks for the politically correctness crowd but I think a show is a show and shouldn't be altered for those reasons. I mean add to it but add to it because it's time to, don't add to it because some movie made way too much money!. Here are a few clips of the early days and Walt himself does some explaining here. One of the only things I really miss from this ride are the fireflies that used to be everywhere in the bayou. They seem to have ejected these from existence for no apparent reason. Come on, bring em on back, they're cheap enough to run using a few fans to blow air creating the appearance of flying insects.
