Disneyland’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” Ride to Close for, uh, SynergyFor Disney aficionados, “Pirates of the Caribbean” is not just another theme park ride. It’s a classic attraction, and the last one in the park to be personally overseen by Walt Disney himself. Talk of changes to the ride inevitably make news. Which is why the AP is reporting that the Pirates rides at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida will close in March so that characters from Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” film can be added and special effects updated. Coincidentally, the rides will reopen this summer, just in time for the release of the film’s sequel, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.” Fans are discussing the plans at Theme Park Insider.
