Designed by some of the top Imagineering talents, here's a rundown of the original ride. The ride features over 100 animal and pirate audio-animatronics which help populate the multiple show scenes. One of the last rides overseen by Walt Disney personally, the dark boat ride opened at Disneyland in March 1967.
