Pirates of the Caribbean
Since
opening, this ride has failed
to attract the queues that might have been expected. Indeed, it is rare to queue
longer than 15 minutes at the peak time of the day and, at other times, you can
just walk straight on. In fact, this is a far superior ride to its Walt Disney
World cousin in every way. Modelled after the Californian ride, it is longer,
has two 'drops' and greatly enhanced ride effects.
Tip: as you enter the brick and stone entrance to the ride, there are a pair of
closed wooden doors to your left. If no one's about, dive through these and you
will save about 300 yards walking time!
Since the opening of the Disney film of the same name, expect longer queues here as the film has a number of references to both this ride and to the interactive ride in Walt Disney World's DisneyQuest. Both ride and film are quite excellent.
