PHOTO: NO ESCAPE -- In one of the most memorable scenes in 'Pirates of the Caribbean', a dog holds the keys, and the futures of some undesirables in his mouth. The classic moment was recreated in the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The landmark Disney attraction opened at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. on March 18, 1967.
In addition to entertaining several generations of would-be buccaneers, the original Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean has inspired versions in other Disney theme parks as well as a worldwide movie phenomenon. The Sunday anniversary will be observed with in-park autograph signings by Walt Disney Imagineers involved in the creation of the attraction, and with the debut of some new collectible Pirates-themed items.
Nearly 315,000,000 Disneyland guests have experienced the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction since its 1967 opening. The ever-popular Disneyland icon, the last one created under the direct supervision of Walt Disney himself, launched a wave of pirate mania that has circled the globe. |GlobalGiants.com|
