Originally designed as a walk-through experience, the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland opened March 18, 1967. In 1997, the 30th Anniversary plaque and fountain were installed in the queue.

The plaque reads:

30th Anniversary

“Yo ho yo ho a Pirates Life for Me
Dedicated March 7, 1997

I did not have too high of hopes for capturing the Pirates of the Caribbean on video, but for a dark ride, one can get the general idea of the layout of the Disneyland version.
