First off, I wanted to establish a story. If you do not have a story there isn’t much the park goers began interested in. I was inspired by a fan theory that Pirates is told in the backwards direction of a pirates life. And I wanted to fully integrate and establish that before we go any further. This is achieved with the addition of Disney’s magic windows that can be found right outside of the Emporium on Main Street U.S.A. Instead of using different scenes from Disney Films, we show the pirates story that we are following. For the purpose of this project we will call the pirate that the story follows, Captain Williams. So we see Captain Williams’ boat out on sea for the first time or his first battle. These magic windows will be sprinkled about the queue to set the guests up with the premise of a pirates life at sea. This will also keep the guest entertained through the queue.

Now, for the actual ride. Just to establish, we are taking out the movie franchise’s elements. We will be using elements from the high tech (and beautiful) Shanghai Disney’s Pirates. All references will be listed below, so it is easy to see what I am referring to. We start off the same way we do, going through the Bayou and down into the caverns. The little island where the we see multiple pirate skeletons. The specific skeleton with a sword through its chest is our very own Captain Williams.

Now the attraction needs minimal adjusting, after we have taken out the Jack Sparrow animatronics, added Captain William and scenes from his life, we now have a cohesive attraction our guests can follow. And so with that, our rebranding is finished for the Pirates of the Caribbean!
