Disneyland is reputed as a place for families, but it has a dark side as well: namely, the number of attractions with skeletons in the rides!
One of the most prominent attractions to feature bony figures is Pirates of the Caribbean. There are at least six segments all with pirate skeletons and skulls in the ride, all early on in Dead Man's Cove! First, there is the talking skull above the first waterfall:
Next, there are a bunch of skeletons on the beach, all in some way, shape or form dead, followed by other skeletons steering a ship through the storm:
Finally, and longest, there are the Crew's and Captain's Quarters and the Treasure Cave scenes:
There are other attractions at Disneyland full of bones, too, mostly human skeletons, like in Snow White's Scary Adventures (including several skulls in the queue alone)...
...in the Haunted Mansion (surprisingly there aren't too many skeletons here)...
...in the Indiana Jones Adventure...
...and on the Jungle Cruise, the native's so-called "arts and crafts" (the one on the top of the boat is Art, I'm told).
And then there are dinosaur skeletons, like those at Big Thunder Mountain...
...and at the Primeval World diorama of the Disneyland Railroad.
That is seven attractions altogether, many of them pretty popular! So the next time you're at Disneyland, these depictions of skeletons just might make you think of how not-entirely family-friendly the place can really be!
