Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA About The Pirates Of The Caribbean?
When Walt Disney World opened in 1971 it was missing one of the greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean. Why was this? Well turns out the landlubbing Imagineers didn’t think that the Florida residents would take to a Caribbean attraction due to its proximity. Needless to say the guests didn’t think the same and demanded it.
After it’s introduction in 1973 it quickly became one of the most popular attractions at the park. But it was an E ticket t’ ride which cost 85 cents for adult and 75 cents per child, so start savin’ your nickels.
I never knew that. I love finding out which rides were what price. That old tickets systems sounds interesting to me. I love collecting the “ticket” pins!
I’m glad they added Pirates! It’s probably my favorite attraction in Adventureland.
If only we could ride for nickels, huh? Love Pirates! Thanks for linking up!
Pirates is a family favorite. I’m glad Disney listened to the fans and added it, early on.
