Pictures of Pirates drop?

[MyGirlLovesTink]

Anyone ever see a picture of how far the actual drop is on the Pirates ride? I know it's small, but curious to see what the actual drop is with the lights on. If anyone has a pic with the lights on or seen one on the internet, care to share?

If you don't have any luck with anyone having a photo, try looking for night vision or low light videos of PotC on YouTube.

This thread, from a few years ago, appears to have an image of the drop with no water in it:

Anybody have issues with infants going down that hill? I know that it always surprises me, and my wife was downright shocked where it came out of nowhere.

We are bringing out 9 month old on March 1st.

So, when you are on that ride you actually leave the park?

We have rode it with out little no worries. Just remember that it bumps you a little from side to side at the bottom.

Yes, the ride takes you to Tortuga Island, the pirate stronghold off the coast of Hispaniola. Sorry, I couldn't resist the straight line.

You don't leave the park but you do go outside the ring of the WDW Railroad.

That is really cool. When the poster asked if there was a picture with lights on I thought to myself probably not. But not only do you have a link to a picture with the lights on but with no water. That was neat to see..thanks.

I would sit on the inside with the baby just to be careful. It can give an unexpected bump as someone commented.
