In the auction scene, the Redhead will become a pirate, helping the Auctioneer gather valuables from the townspeople to auction off to the pirates.

Now they have her auctioning off her BOOTY. How's that any more PC?

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Might as well just close the whole ride down.

Their next step is to rename it to "Indigenous Underprivileged Aspiring Sailors of America"

And this isn't the first time they have changed it. There used to be a section where Pirates were chasing after women in lusty fashion, and they switched it so the women now chase the Pirates.

But given Walt's well known racist bent, I'm surprised the auction scene was staged with "wenches" as opposed to something else.

In order to stay relevant, shouldn't they rename it, "Pirates of Solamia", and have that "I am the Captain now" guy as the main character?

If we're just talking the Disney side

Indy
Star Tours
Space Mountain (especially when themed) are all easily better.

Throw in DCA stuff and pirates goes even further down the list. That ride is only good for making out or falling asleep IMO

Pirates of the Carribean is the worst major ride at Disneyland. Buzz Lightyear and Star Tours are the next worst. Used to think Haunted Mansion sucked too.

Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, and Big Thunder Mountain are all better.

The restaurant was my favorite as a kid, as it featured pretty waitresses in antebellum costumes, live music, the best food at Disneyland, and a charming, fake bayou. It was a Rainforest Cafe concept, years ahead of its time.

I briefly worked at the Tragic Kingdom. My favorite memory was when two kids jumped off the damn ride boat, and tried to grab loot from the pirate treasure pile.

Ha the tragic kingdom. Can't imagine what you see go wrong at that place on a daily basis. At Pirates, the more 'classical' or whatever restaurant now, I dig the theme! Gotta head back soon

You can still witness the live wench auctions at your local TGI Fridays at about 1 am.

A little off topic, but if you guys want to see something cool, check out the Pirates of the Carribean ride from the Disneyland in Shanghai. Completely different than the one we have here:

The number of deaths at that theme park would surprise you.

Is the food actually good?

What happened to the kids who jumped off? Was this in Anaheim or Orlando?
