Captain Jack Sparrow to Join Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Attraction
First the theme park attraction inspired the movie -- now the movie is inspiring the attraction.
Pirates of the Caribbean, the classic Disney theme park adventure brought to the big screen in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, is adding new characters and features from the blockbuster film. Both the
Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will close the attraction in March to complete the updates in time for the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest on July 7.
The attraction will feature the addition of two of Hollywoods most infamous buccaneers, Captain Jack Sparrow and his nemesis Barbossa. Joining the wildest crew that ever sacked the Spanish Main, Captain Jack and Barbossa add an exciting new twist to the attractions original storyline as they race to be the first to claim a cache of plundered treasure.
Woven into some of the attractions most memorable scenes, the rival swashbucklers will be seen interacting with some of the more familiar Audio-Animatronics buccaneers found inside the ride-through adventure. Also making a guest appearance is the ghostly Davy Jones from the second movie in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest.
But new characters are only the beginning. New special effects will also be added to enhance the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park experience. According to Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, "The attraction enhancements capture the same spirit, swashbuckling humor and action that moviegoers loved in the first Pirates of the Caribbean, which will continue with the highly anticipated new tales this summer and beyond."
Created under the direct creative supervision of Walt Disney himself, the original incarnation of Pirates of the Caribbean premiered on March 18, 1967, in New Orleans Square at Disneyland in California. Featuring more than 120 Audio-Animatronics performers, lavishly decorated sets and special effects, its considered to be one of the most spectacular and enduring attractions ever created for a theme park.
With its setting revised slightly to fit a Caribbean Plaza location in Adventureland, the attraction opened to guests at Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom on December 15, 1973. More than 500 million people have experienced the rollicking fun of Pirates of the Caribbean in California and Florida over the past 39 years.
