10!!The Ride
11* The opening scenes set an eerie tone with the skeletons of pirates, one still at a steering wheel while others are strewn about. Notable is the trio with blade wounds showing they clearly turned on each other and died fighting for their treasure.
12* The haunting refrain of "Dead Men Tell No Tales" during the opening scenes is jarring.
13* The original version of the Disneyland Paris ride flipped it around to show the skeleton scenes after the main storyline, with the idea this is where a life of piracy ultimately led.
14* Every version has the famous scene of a trio of pirates in a jail cell trying to coax a dog to hand over the key. The Shanghai version? Those three skeletons are still reaching in vain to a skeleton dog in their cells, a chilling flip on the classic scene.
15* During the ride's first half century of existence, an example that likely went over some children's heads would be [[SexSlave the presumed fate of the wenches sold as brides]] in the [[SlaveMarket original version of the auction]]. This was eventually deemed ''too'' disturbing for Disney, which in TheNewTens led to the auction being {{bowdlerise}}d into the pirates merely selling goods they looted from the town.
