Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for the Sunken Treasure
Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for the Sunken Treasure is the big attraction of Treasure Cove. According to Shanghai Disney Resort, it is the most advanced version of this classic Disney attraction. You sail with Captain Jack in search of Davy Jones's sunken treasure.
The concept
The first Pirates of the Caribbean opened in 1967 at Disneyland in California. In Shanghai the attraction is based on the films starring Johnny Depp. The boats are steered magnetically: they can spin, turn and sail backwards, so you see the scenes as well as possible. According to the park, the moving figures, the Audio-Animatronics, are also of the latest generation.
The Experience
You sail past Barbossa’s Bounty and a series of dark caves full of skeletons. Suddenly a skeleton comes to life: it's Captain Jack. Then you dive into the depths, to the graveyard of sunken ships, where the Kraken awakens in the wreck of Davy Jones. You sail through the realm of the mermaids and get caught up in the battle for the treasure. An on-ride photo is taken along the way.
