you can find us at TPM videos Pirates of
the Caribbean at Disneyland opened in
March of 1967 and it's definitely become
an iconic attraction with these Disney
dark rides lighting and sound elements
come together to create a seamless story
that immerses you right into these
fictional worlds now if you've been
watching this channel for a little while
you'll know that I'm fascinated by
seeing things at the theme parks not go
to plan then taking a look at how these
issues are addressed so efficiently like
rides breaking down last year a viewer
sent in footage of a breakdown on
Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic
Kingdom where the lights were turned on
and the sound was turned off it really
gave you a new appreciation for the
magic that goes into creating these
classic attractions well last week a
viewer by the name of Chris Fritz sent
in some video of a breakdown from
Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland
and you might be saying okay but we
already saw Pirates of the Caribbean
break down and sure you're not wrong but
this breakdown at Disneyland gives you a
lights on look into a different part of
the ride the La Salette Magic Kingdom
only showed us the burning town scene
this one here happened right as you
entered the pooped pirate scene and the
video gives you quite a good look at the
in show exit procedure you go through on
the ride not to mention you'll get to
see two different scenes on the ride
with the lights on and the sound off
it's a pretty rare look into pirates so
before we go any further let's take a
quick look at what this sequence looks
like on a normal ride through Pirates of
the Caribbean
you're not personal mistake
you aren't in the scene for too long but
here in the breakdown you'll get to see
the ride with normal show audio and
animatronic movement but what's the
camera cuts and the show audio is turned
off pay close attention to the audio
animatronics getting powered down going
from having full life and character to
being completely lifeless
powering down and resetting the
audio-animatronics is a typical
procedure during an in show exit what I
find really interesting here is that the
figures chasing each other clearly run
on a different system than the main
audio animatronics in the scene and on
the ride if these figures spinning were
considered animatronics then they would
also be powered down in the situation so
I guess they truly aren't audio
animatronics and would just be
considered more like rotating mannequins
when it becomes really interesting
though is when the lights turn on you
get a great glimpse into what these sets
really look like and get a clear view of
all the details it's definitely a rare
view of the scene
[Music]
w
it's pretty remarkable that this turns
into a completely different experience
with show lighting and sound
now there's any of you who are very
familiar with the scene you may have
already noticed that these two drunken
pirates on the ground are currently
removed from the ride in the breakdown
footage from time to time Disney does
remove certain figures for maintenance
and usually it's not as obvious with
show lighting but what the work lights
turned on it's clear that something is
missing right over here now the intial
exit procedure on Pirates of the
Caribbean that requires the boats to
travel to the closest dock hidden along
the ride path there appears to be a dock
just before the auction scene
so in this breakdown it's going to
require the boats to travel backwards
which means we'll get an up-close look
at the proceeding scenes with the lights
on
there's so much detail to see so enjoy
this rare look at the auction scene and
just soak in all the details
[Music]
this is quite a stark contrast to the
scene during normal operation again it
just further reinforces how important
sound and lighting are to the Disney
dark ride experience
[Music]
and now's on the fun begins with a ride
like pirates where you're completely
surrounded by water a cast member
wearing rubber waders is required to hop
into the water and push the boats to the
closest dock
[Applause]
now if you do break down on a ride the
intial exit procedure can be pretty
lengthy and in this case on pirates from
breaking down to getting off the boat it
did take about 45 minutes to an hour but
the main thing here is that during an in
show exit the cast members were so
efficient and attentive that everyone
made it out safely
they also handed out fast passes to
everyone on the ride that could be used
on any other Disneyland attraction a
huge thank you to Chris for sharing this
footage and giving us this rare look
into Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean
