After a long refurbishment, Pirates of the Caribbean reopened on Friday at Disneyland Park with some new magic. As the pirate reaches for the cursed treasure in the caves, he turns into a skeleton right before your eyes.


This is all-new Audio-Animatronics technology from Walt Disney Imagineering. Disney shared a clip of the new Audio-Animatronics magic on social media showing the pirate in human form and as he touches the treasure, he turns into a skeleton. Watch the clip on Disney Parks X channel.
This is amazing new technology from Walt Disney Imagineering that you will want to see with your own eyes.
