Ahhhh the memory's. I rode this in 1971, I was 7 and it seems like yesterday.The new version is awesome,but the original can't be beat. It's my favorite ride.Thanks for posting this.
This is really cool. You get to hear so much more of the original dialogue here (that's drowned out by the song in the building) Plus some of this dialogue is just no longer in existence on today's ride, but I totally remember it as a kid. NICE!!!!!!
WOw! Thanks for posting this. I first rode Pirates back in 1968. We lived in Texas and I literally talked about Disneyland from morning to night for over a year until my dad caved in and took us. Two days before we visited the park Robert Kennedy was assassinated.
I think this video was from a Wonderful World of Disney Sunday night telecast that also showcased the New Tomorrowland. I was 8 years old when this was broadcast. Wow what a time machine...
I wish we still had the 1967 version of the ride IT WAS MORE BADASS & HARDCORE Instead of all the mods with the movie characters takin away a lot of the original dialogue & characters destroys the aura & mystique of the ride If any of the Chinese Disney parks or if another country gets a Disney theme park I hope they build a PotC ride with the original material
I've always been impressed with how life - like the animatronics are. I first saw footage of this ride years ago on a sing - along tape, and was like, "Is that REAL?" xD
My Favorite ride, I remember living in chicago and my parents took a vacation to disneyland and brought back a program from disneyland, I stared at it for hours, finally was able to see it live when we moved to cerritos ca, and now it's just a freeway drive away!!!!!
I have this video on my DVD of Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. I like how the ride used to be. Especially the drop. Before it was like you were going down a waterfall and now it's like you're falling off the FRIGGIN edge of the world! Everytime I get to the part I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. Me+pitch black darkness+suddenly falling in a slow boat ride=AHHHHHH
I rode that ride yearly in the mid-late 70's when I lived in California, but was a kid then, so didn't have an eye for detail or understand half of what was going on really. lol The thing I remember most is the beginning scene and the mood that it set.
@@guntherthequizmaster9515 Sorry for the late reply. J Pat O Malley did the voice of this pirate with a gun furthermore. most of them were casted by j pat and paul frees as well.
I still like the old pirates ride much better than new. It's more like the real 1700'-1800's instead of looking for Jack Sparrow Look For Treasure. The New one is fine but I still like the Original Look that made the ride famous.
The music at the end of the show always signaled the end of the weekend, and an impending sense of melancholy at the thought of school the next morning.
@ masterblair I have to agree. But they did keep a lot of the original scenes so I'm still happy. Just like they change the Haunted Mansion in Oct. and turn it into The Nightmare Before Christmas is only for Halloween but other than that it is still the same.
They changed the chase scene a few years ago from men chasing women, to the women holding food and the men are supposed to be chasing the food. Disney also added a few experimental animatronic that looked more life like. That was all before the Jack Sparrow stuff. Someone also mentioned how the end climb changed with the pirates pulling treasure. I only know because my sister was a cast member.
i love this ride! wow is 2011 and people are still loving it!!!!!!!!!!!! but the boats got better and when u enter the ride like when ur waiting in line u see a parrot talking and tha stuff
Have you noticed they are slowely bringing the original back? Last Monday I went and one chase was centered around treasure, the other about the original, and the other about food.
Are they? I went there just last week too (how much ass do annual passes kick?? XD), and all I saw were the pirates chasing women because they were carrying treasure. While bringing back the original chase scene would be great, CAN they go back to an older motif since they just upgraded the ride to be more movie-inclusive?
@sonic619760 No that was because the editing that had been done when this aired on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. It did inspire the Imagineers to add a middle drop when they were designing Pirates of the Carribean for Disneyland Paris.
4:58 Professor Owl: He’s pretty good for just a lad but these next guys are really bad on a little island far from everything lives some jolly pirates who loves to sing
a little creepy fact: the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction during it's opening in 1967 (as its shown in this video 0:53- 2:03 ) used real life skeletons instead of fake skeletons because the fake ones they had before were said to have been too "fake"-looking. so they borrowed real ones from the UCLA medical center. When technology caught up to them, the skeletons were then returned and were given a proper burial .
The editing in this video is really weird, but I guess that's the 60's for you. I actually think the way it is now is better than the way it used to be. I know it's just Disney trying to make a quick buck off of the success of the movie, but the things they added in the ride weren't just thrown together. They were well made and done with some effort. Not to mention there are a lot more pirates in there now.
Am I the only here who thinks the Jolly Roger at the beginning should have been voiced by Paul Frees? I wish they could have left the chase scene just the way it was. :P
It's almost strange to hear only one line at a time. Unfortunately, I live on the East Coast so I've only ever been to Disney World (I LOVE it, but I want to see Disney Land too), but at WDW you kinda hear the whole ride at once, just parts are louder when you're near them. Does anyone know if this applies for the Disney Land ride?
@AdrenalineAddict610 There is still one skeleton specimen that still remains on the ride today. Take a look at 1:30, the skull on the head post of the bed is still real and is yet to be replaced. (if they ever will)
@Pennywisea NOT really, the rides don't photograph very well. even for example in this video where the filmakers were allowed to use flash photography, many of the scenes that rely heavily on light effects were left out, like the burning town, I guess only the newest HD cameras with very low light response could capture those effects. I can imagine that doing this commercial-documentary presented its own challenges in 1967.
This was tjhe last ride Walt Disney himself worked on!!!!! I thought at least it was safe from being altered and ruined!!!!! Wrong!!!! They had to screw with it!!! Thanks for the memories.
@ Sonic619760 The drops have never changed. It's the way the show was edited. The ride path has never changed and the drops are only in the ride to get the riders under the railroad tracks into the show building outside the "berm"
I wish they woulda kept the original design & audio b4 the mods they did throughout the years I don't really care 4 Johnny Depp or the other characters from the movie bein in the ride if they put a PotC ride in Hong Kong or Shanghai they should use the original 1967design & audio
This is my all time favorite ride. I'm kinda disappointed that no animatronics of the other characters in the movie. For example, Tia Dalma would have fit perfect when the rides first start in the Bayou, maybe inside a little house and some bottles hanging from the ceiling like in the movie. I guess if they try to include a character here and there.... it would steal from the magic of the REAL story. So I guess, not.
Thanks so much for posting this!!! I didn't think I'd ever find the good old version without Jack Sparrow crap. And wondered if I'd see anything if I did. I really missed the old pirates voice. "These be the last friendly words you hear." How could they take him out?
The skeletons were real at one point in time. The fake skeletons looked too much like tacky Halloween decorations, so Disney bought some specimens from UCLA.

This is the best ride ever.

Oh I didn't know that was before Robert Kennedy was assassinated.
Holy Cow I had this video as a kid and wore it out. Completely forgot about it til I stumbled upon this.
thats old school. good stuff man!
it is great to see the ride in its orginal form. I always loved the pirate holding the womans slip at 4:25. Now they have him eating a drumstick?
I think this video was from a Wonderful World of Disney Sunday night telecast that also showcased the New Tomorrowland. I was 8 years old when this was broadcast. Wow what a time machine...
You always post the best Disney videos on RUclips! Thank you!
I wish we still had the 1967 version of the ride IT WAS MORE BADASS & HARDCORE
Instead of all the mods with the movie characters
takin away a lot of the original dialogue & characters destroys the aura & mystique of the ride
If any of the Chinese Disney parks or if another country gets a Disney theme park I hope they build a PotC ride with the original material
theexmann You are ignorant yourself, SJW liberals like you are truly stupid.
watch your language
My family visited Tokyo Disneyland in 2019 and PotC was untouched from its original creation. It was like jumping back in time. A pleasure to ride.
The drops have never changed. It's the way the show was edited, just like there is no real explosion at the end.
40+ years later and the ride never gets old.
I've always been impressed with how life - like the animatronics are. I first saw footage of this ride years ago on a sing - along tape, and was like, "Is that REAL?" xD
It's amazing to see how much of the original ride is still the same today!
thank u so much for this video......brings back great memories!
awe yes vintage disney backstage...there is something nostalgia perhaps. Who knew that a movie franchise would be made from this ride back then.:)
5:38
Singing part
Dam the ride seems better back then.now you go down the second hill right after the first one.
Really fascinating how the pirates of the Caribbean franchise exists because of this ride.
My Favorite ride, I remember living in chicago and my parents took a vacation to disneyland and brought back a program from disneyland, I stared at it for hours, finally was able to see it live when we moved to cerritos ca, and now it's just a freeway drive away!!!!!

Me too!
It's so cool to see how much stuff they kept:)

i love these kinds of rides. Like this one and the haounted mansion.
I like the overlayed effects, like the fake gunshots in the water at the end XD
Carlos the Mayor was voiced by Paul Frees.
Frank Conti 7:42 you clear the bloomin’ deck, ya bilge rat 🐀 ❗️
If carlos did talk least hed be free of that well

after all these years the dog still has the keys what a loyal dog LOL

8:08 Professor Owl: That was sort of blast
This first aired on January 21, 1967. It was my 5th birthday.
i love this ride! wow is 2011 and people are still loving it!!!!!!!!!!!! but the boats got better and when u enter the ride like when ur waiting in line u see a parrot talking and tha stuff
@toyffer15ppf No, actually it's X Atencio, one of the Imagineers who wrote the song for this ride. He also voices the hairy legged pirate at 6:30

awesome.
When I was little, I always thought the water was like 10 feet deep or so lol.
Song seen in Heigh Ho (Disney's Sing Along Songs)

@33Keith33 Psst...January 21, *1968*. POTC opened at Disneyland on March 18, 1967, so happy 45th anniversary! :)

its true?
That's pretty cool
Jack's dad in the World's End is based off of one of the pirates in the original ride..i didn't see which one though
amazing

where did you get this? these are so hard to find.
Am I the only here who thinks the Jolly Roger at the beginning should have been voiced by Paul Frees?
I wish they could have left the chase scene just the way it was. :P
i dont remeber seeing the girl int he barrel when i went on it which is before they changed it too.. did they get rid of her?
It is a bummer, considering they actually had more room for construction, that they made the Pirates ride at WDW shorter. (is that a run on sentence?)
It's almost strange to hear only one line at a time. Unfortunately, I live on the East Coast so I've only ever been to Disney World (I LOVE it, but I want to see Disney Land too), but at WDW you kinda hear the whole ride at once, just parts are louder when you're near them.

2:07 Which one of is named Will? I couldn't resist.
@Buzda Disneyland does have 2 drops :) But here they said the 2nd drop in the middle of the ride, not right after the 1st drop lol.
They should install brakes in those boats to slow them during their descent down those drops
@sonic619760 I'm pretty sure the Disneyland version has 2 drops and Disney World has 1.
I'm glad you liked my remark. It's an old joke, but nonetheless a classic.
The Drops are the same as it opened . It's Just that you can't see the drops that well because it's just dark.
@Pennywisea NOT really, the rides don't photograph very well. even for example in this video where the filmakers were allowed to use flash photography, many of the scenes that rely heavily on light effects were left out, like the burning town, I guess only the newest HD cameras with very low light response could capture those effects.

It always drives me INSANE that the flute player's right hand is backwards!
what's with the exploding barrel? Hw does that work. was it special effects or actualy part of the ride?
There's a few more scenes that aren't shown in the video, but you pretty much saw the whole ride here.
hey you get a dvd pirates of the caribbeans first movie
lol that woman chase the man
So this ride used to have the 2nd drop in the middle of the ride?
Does anyone no what song besides Yo Ho is playing, it's kind of catchy, mostly played in the grotto scenes.
This was tjhe last ride Walt Disney himself worked on!!!!! I thought at least it was safe from being altered and ruined!!!!! Wrong!!!! They had to screw with it!!! Thanks for the memories.
that one pirate went crazy wiggling the head
When I saw this version on a 1990 recording, I noticed that the screaming from the women being chased by the pirates was cut out of the ride’s audio.
I wouldnt say its changed all that much. The inclusion of Jack Sparrow and alike, but on the whole its pretty much the same as original
@thehahacac When I was there in April, they still spoke.
We wants the red head!
Now it's we wants the rum.
@Jasetoonie Which is why I dont understand why people flip out so much about it.
There should be in the future, in light of the addition to Redd, more female pirates added.
@ Sonic619760 The drops have never changed. It's the way the show was edited. The ride path has never changed and the drops are only in the ride to get the riders under the railroad tracks into the show building outside the "berm"
I thought they were saying "Donkey a who" because of that donkey next to the singing pirates. Then I realize they were saying "Don't give a hoot".
you got from pirates of caribbeans movie dvd
You also get to see the original chase sequnce at 4:13
I wish they woulda kept the original design & audio b4 the mods they did throughout the years I don't really care 4 Johnny Depp or the other characters from the movie bein in the ride if they put a PotC ride in Hong Kong or Shanghai they should use the original 1967design & audio
damn wish i tried the ride in california,
in paris it seems way shorter
@Josh Mably The explosion at the end was a special effect added for TV
True i notice that why was he carrying that the womans slip.
Yeah, I personally like the refurb but too many characters would've hurt it overall
This is my all time favorite ride. I'm kinda disappointed that no animatronics of the other characters in the movie. For example, Tia Dalma would have fit perfect when the rides first start in the Bayou, maybe inside a little house and some bottles hanging from the ceiling like in the movie.

hey is disney him self the skeletons voice on 0:29 ???
Actually, it was Paul Frees
We wants the redhead! We wants the redhead! We wants the redhead!
The original is always good
The girl in the barrel was replaced by a Captain Jack Sparrow poking up instead. That whole area has been redone a few times.
(4:41) David Crosby,Scourge Of The Seven Seas!
Hi! I'm looking for vintage hi-rez clips of Pirates - where was this footage originally released?
1:58 HEY! Someone’s trying to videocam the whole ride!
wow1 they reallly changed that ride I didn't even recgonize it!
The skeletons were real at one point in time. The fake skeletons looked too much like tacky Halloween decorations, so Disney bought some specimens from UCLA.
4:35
That's pretty suggestive...
not very many changes over the years. let's hope it stays that way.
