    The police need to find who made threat and jail time and of course banned for life at Diosney !!

    People always have a choice. If a ride may be too much for you, opt out.
    I would give an E Ticket for it to be how it was back in the 60’s. Change is good, but not all the time. It good to have stability. The old days were not bad days, but we learned alot since then.

    It is a classic ride that inspired a whole series of movies. Personally, I love the ride. If people are so offended, they can choose to not ride. There are always lines of people wanting to ride whenever I go to the Parks.

      So tired of people being offended by Pirates. It is an amusement, fantasy. Don’t go to Disney if things offend you.!

    This is called the Pirates, not the Saints of the Caribbean. Just giving a glimpse not condoning but showing the lifestyle of a pirate. Those of us that make good choices will continue to do so and remember riding the ride is also a choice.

      Exactly. Pirates were awful people!!!

        Remember they were paid by the Crown to rob other ships. EITC was the biggest crooks. They became ‘BAD’ pirates after getting screwed by the people who hired them. Pay backs a mother.

        This ride,good,bad or rsosy was historical accurate. Everything you erase something that’s true you weaken history. The world is not lollipops and rainbows all the time so all your doing is creating weak kids who won’t be able to deal with real life.

    If someone is offended by an animatronic pirate ogling them, then is something wrong with them….not the ride!

    Except for Jack Sparrow, reset it back to how it was originally. Pirates were not gentlemen and women didn’t chase them with pies or whatever other PC nonsense the unimagineers changed. Jack Sparrow was the only good change (made a great ride even better). If it offends you then don’t go to Disneyland that way you won’t have to even walk past it. A few snowflakes who CHOOSE to be offended shouldn’t be allowed to ruin it for others

    Don’t ride it then. Let those of us enjoy the pirates and all their shenanigans. For gosh sakes it a freaking ride. Get over it!!!

    1. Bert

      That’s exactly what I’ve been saying about Spash Mountain.

    Why am I not surprised the person who got offended by this ride was at Disneyland in California?

    Pirate’s is one of the best rides in Disney parks. If you’re offended by it, don’t ride it. Leave it for all of us who enjoy it! Love the ride in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World myself. The original is longer and better for that I think. For every complaint, I’m sure there are thousands of fans eager to ride it again and again.

    Offensive to few will affect years and years of memories for millions and millions of folks? Its amazing an animated ride that’s been around for over 55 years is now offensive! The world needs a purging of idiots.

  11. Claudia

    Hoist the colours! If you’re so offended don’t get it on. It’s called choices. Don’t take your traumas out on the rest of us.

    1. If you don’t like the ride – JUST DON’T GO ON THE RIDE. – you’re not going to get everything you want in life and not everyone should have to bow to your wishes.

  12. Liza

    Omg get over it , everything offends everyone these days .

  13. Steve

    Who cares! This was how it was done hundreds of years ago. Stop being woke, enjoy the rides or not! Everyone is too dang sensitive now. You’re offended stay home, stop ruining everything for everyone else because you’re that 1 Karen or Kevin.

  14. Michael

    I am a fan of the ride, always have been and would like to see it restored to its original state. Anyone who doesn’t like the ride, don’t ride it. You have a right to your opinion, what you don’t have is the right to ruin it for everyone else that does.

  15. If you don’t like the ride then don’t do it. It’s a fantastic rod. I didn’t write it 10 times in one day it’s just based on some old pirate movies.
