1.Pirates was to be a walk through wax museum type of a attraction instead of a boat ride. The ride is located right when you first walk into New Orleans Square. The facade is of the antebellum era featuring the 31 star flag (1850's). When you get to the front of the line you will see a sign over head that says Lafitte's landing which was name for the famous pirate Jean Lafitte. He had fought alongside the US Army at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812.Once boarded the first scene of the ride is in the Louisiana Bayou admits the glimmering fireflies on the left of the boat and on the right hand side is an actual working restaurant named the Blue Bayou which was to be made into a backyard dinner party on a plantation. After floating past the rickety houseboats, the soft strumming of banjo melodies and peaceful sounds of nature you hear from above a archway a talking skull and crossbones taunting guests with this saying: Psst! Avast there! It be too late to alter course, mateys. And there be plundering pirates lurkin' in ev'ry cove, waitin' to board. Sit closer together and keep your ruddy hands in board. That be the best way to repel boarders. And mark well me words, mateys: Dead men tell no tales! Ye come seekin' adventure with salty old pirates, eh? Sure you've come to the proper place. But keep a weather eye open, mates, and hold on tight. With both hands, if you please. Thar be squalls ahead, and Davy Jones waiting for them what don't obey. Just as you past under the skull and cross bones you hear a more chilling sound from the darkness: the waterfall. Two plundges later you are now in the depths of an underground grotto known as the Dead Man's Cove. The boats glide gently past a violent thunderstorm that is tossing a old pirate ship. The boats slowly drift past through a crew's quarters, complete with skeletal pirates frozen in time, the captain examining a treasure map, an old harpsichord playing the theme song, and a huge amount of treasure being guarded by another skeleton pirate. The Aztec chest from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl sits in the corner of the treasure room and is the the last thing guests see before entering a dark tunnel. Originally it was to be a pipe organ echoes through the dark tunnel but now a curtain of mist appears with images of Davy Jones and also Blackbeard that are alternately projected onto the mist and invite guests to proceed. First thing that you hear after the invite you hear cannonballs and explosions. You go through a battle between the Wicked Wench and the village. The village is overrun with pirates in the search of the ever wondrous treasure. The first thing that you see when you turn towards the village is the pirates dunking the mayor and insisting that he says where the treasure is located. His wife tells him from a window to be brave and not to talk to them. This is also the first time that you see Captain Jack Sparrow who is hiding behind some dresses. Next is the Take a Wench for a Bride where you see the Red Head. After this we see pirates running around chasing women holding food and two being chased for taking food. Then you see a pirate sitting on some barrels drunkenly waving a map and key saying that Jack would never see it in fact Jack is right behind him. Next scene is when pirates are ravaging the town and setting it aflame filling the night with an orange glow. After seeing the town on fire guests will see a group of pirates trying to coax a dog that is holding the key to their freedom. As you go up the last lift of the ride there are pirates on both sides of the boat firing at each other. Little further up is Jack in a room of treasure. One line he says is that it is dedicated to everyone.
