During the course of the indoor boat ride, guests float through an immersive, larger-than-life pirate adventure featuring gunshots, cannon blasts, and burning buildings, all set to pirates carousing and pillaging while accompanied by "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" written by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio.

Other Versions
Magic KingdomThe attraction is housed in a golden Spanish fort called Castillo Del Morro. Inside the blue bayou has been replaced by Pirate's Bay and into a short grotto with Davy Jones, dead skeletons, and the hurricane lagoon. Following the plunge down one waterfall the remainder of the ride is identical to Tokyo and California, the only scene missing is the arsenal.
Paris
Pirates at Paris is considered the best version at times and is the only installment not to feature the movie characters. It is housed in a battle scarred fortress and is much different then the originals. The ride begins as guests depart on boats from a landing and enter a lush lagoon at night time with the thundering of waterfalls everywhere. The boats pass through a shipwreck and enter an old fortress nearby. Inside gun noises and sword clanking is heard in the back as the boats climb up a large lift hill used to haul cargo throughout the fort. At the top flames are engulfing the fort and the shadows of fighting pirates and soldiers are seen. Up ahead the guests see the pirates in jail trying to coax the key out of the naughty guard dog. The boats go down a waterfall in the side of the fort caused by a cannon ball and pass the bombarding the fort scene where the soldiers and the pirates fire at guests! Entering the relative safety of the town guests see all the original scenes from the Disneyland original except for a new pair of swordfighting men who duel for a girl in the chase scene. After passing the burning town, darkness fills the air and red flashes and hot air appears as the arsenal of the town has blown up sending the guests to Davy Jones's Locker. They pass all the grotto scenes from Disneyland and exit the boats after a parting thought from the skull and crossbones.
