[edit] Seperate page for Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy
I think there should be a seperate page for the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy. Like the page for the entire franchise, this new page should feature links to the three main articles about the movies, but provide quick descriptions about each one and maybe have some quick descriptions for the games based on the films with links to the main articles as well.

[edit] Inaccurate Section
What happened? This section is wildly inaccurate:
- Pirates of the Caribbean was first envisioned in the late 1950s as a walk-though wax museum, but premiered at the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York City as a flume boat ride that showcased Disney's new Animatronics technology.[1] At that time, Pirates of the Caribbean had been ahead of its time, employing advances in technology that allowed the pirates and other characters to appear real and seem to interact with the riders. The attraction at the World's Fair enthralled guests, who underwent an experience where pirates would sing to the tune of Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me), while cannon blasts, burning buildings, and other special effects occur. Coming off its success at the World's Fair, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride opened at Disneyland, California on March 18, 1967,
The attraction did not premiere at the World's Fair—its first incarnation was the 1967 version at Disneyland. The four pavilions Disney created for the fair (it's a small world, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, The Magic Skyway and Carousel of Progress) ushered in technological advances that later were applied to the then-in-development pirate attraction. It's also a stretch to say the attraction's pirates "interact" with riders. —Whoville 01:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps wildly inaccurate was an exaggeration, but I reworded the first sentence to correct it. If you feel it's still not good enough, you are free to edit it. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 02:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added attraction infobox
According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Disneyland this article had an attraction infobox in it. In fact, Pirate's infobox was used as the template for other attractions. However, I didn't find it in the article, so I put it in. Disneyfile 22:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- This article is for the franchise, not the ride, so I don't think the infobox belongs here. --blm07 23:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
