Disney will remove the infamous “bride auction” scene from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland next year, the company announced on Thursday.
During the planned ride refurbishment, Disney will alter the roles of the auctioneer, the redhead woman and other characters participating in the “Auction: Take a Wench for a Bride” scene.
In the current scene, the redhead character is the prize of the auction. According to Disney, the redhead is holding a rifle and will be a “plundering pirate” in the new scene. In the official announcement, Disney wrote:
“…the redhead is trading her fashionable bonnet for a pirate’s hat. Guests will now see her joining the pirates’ ranks and helping the locals “unload” their valuables at the Mercado auction.”
Marty Sklar, 83, who retired as head of Walt Disney Imagineering, said Walt Disney always supported updating theme park attractions.
“’Pirates of the Caribbean’ has always represented great Disney Park storytelling; it has set the standard for the theme park industry for half a century,” Sklar said. “But it’s a story you can continue to add fun to, with great characters in new ‘performances.’ That’s what the Imagineers have done with this new auction scene—it’s like a theatre show with a new act.”
Sales are down. Can’t give ‘em away.
GayBC-Disney-Corp should auction these figures off and give the money to local communities to subsidize backlog rape kit testing across America.
“In the current scene, the redhead character is the prize of the auction. According to Disney, the redhead is holding a rifle and will be a “plundering pirate” in the new scene.”
It’s wrong to brandish a firearm to rape and plunder innocents. She should give up the gun and change her wicked ways. #NoJustUsNoPiece
Goofy is transpecies.
Same thing with the adventure train ride:
previously you’d see an angry Rhino had “treed” two British explorers in pith helmets.
the angry Rhino would raise his horn in attack and the frightened two explorers would both respond by fearfully trying to scooch up the tree a bit more.
there’d be a pause and you’d see another instance of exactly that, again.
then a much longer pause and you’d see a reversal; another Rhino had done that to two African pygmies, who for their turn who now were also up a tree..!
Heh heh..!
well the diversity Elite screamed and screamed, said it was DEMEANING so they took it away.
It’s the same thing why comedians won’t permit won’t perform on college campuses these days:
a lot of people are walking around, actively LOOKING to be offended. In the old days to show virtue you had to work hard and create a vaccine, or rush a machine gun nest full of bad guys or something. But these days they have the “virtue drive-thru window” where you just act really mad about something.
this actually is good news for our side because it’s very difficult to market stupid ideas from people who don’t enjoy pleasure, who don’t enjoy a lot a good laugh.
The heavyset woman chasing the skinny pirate was always a funny moment in the ride. I haven’t been to Disneyland lately; I wonder if it’s still there? If so, it’s probably going to be removed, as well, I imagine.
I’m loving all this - “oh... WE’RE sexist, racist, homophobic too... QUICK, get rid of the evidence!” Stuff from the lefties. LOL
Nope, it is gone. I was there about 5 years ago and was looking forward to seeing it. I was so disappointed it was gone. It was funny.
“So let me guess..the pirates are gay now?”
A lot of pirates of the Caribbean were gay.
“I’m surprised it wasn’t replaced by a transgender bathroom scene.”
Same here. Or worse.
Goofy ain’t a dog; those are definitely not carnivore’s teeth!
In The Princess and the Pirate, Bob Hope tells wench Virginia Mayo to ‘Sit down and take a load off my eyes.’
Technically, Goofy was meant to be a donkey.
