There were two women being chanced by pirates and then a male pirate comes through the door being chased by a fat woman. This passed for humor, as in bring on the pirates, I’m fat and can’t get a man otherwise, even a pirate, unless I chase him.
I had heard that was dropped from the attraction, because pirates chasing women and by extension having their way with them (read raping) is no longer PC. I defer to someone who has been on the ride the last 10 years.
The last time I was on the “Pirates of Caribbean” ride was in 1978.
I believe you’re right about the changes; Disneyland went the PC route in recent years and made some changes to “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
That used to be the first ride I would go on when we went to Disneyland......E tickets were the best. Who here remembers E tickets?
Yes, there were a few pirates chasing pretty girls around in a circle, then you'd get to the chubby girl chasing the skinny pirate. I wonder if that's still part of the ride. I always thought it was funny!
My favorite part of the ride was the dog holding the keys to the jail.
Lost my “Cubs” had there I did back in the early 90’s, no shit. It was given to me by a great gentleman from Paso Robles, CA.
God Bless John “Senior” Obermeyer. He raised 2 great sons as well.
