My personal favorite ride anywhere. Now keep in mind, I haven't ridden the version at Disneyland. Most everyone I come across says that version is superior. Well all I can say is that the version in Disneyland must be something really special. In my mind this is THE dark ride that all other dark rides should aspire to be. Now granted some other rides have surpassed this attraction in technology. But Pirates of the Caribbean is done with such care and detail. From the scenes of the pirates interacting to the ceiling. If you look up you notice that it looks as if your really looking up into the nighttime sky rather than a roof. All of this is done with such precision and care that I almost forget i'm on ride and that whats going on is really happening. And thats the mark of a truly great dark ride. It provides a temporary escape from the outside world. Great ride! Truly great!
