One of the most talked about is the supposed cryogenization of Walt Disney&#8217;s body beneath the ride, using water as a cooling system. However, a reality that has captured the public&#8217;s attention is that, for much of the attraction&#8217;s life, real skeletons were used to bring the animatronics that dance and sing to life.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This is how the dead seem more real<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production of the attraction was considerable, costing around 15 million dollars at the time, which is equivalent to more than 100 million today. <strong>This expenditure placed it among the largest investments made by Disney in its parks, long before realistic animatronic technology was advanced enough<\/strong>. To tackle this challenge, the designers turned to the University of California, where they were donated real skeletons to create the animatronics.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trailer - Piratas de Caribe 1 - La Maldici\u00f3n de la Perla Negra\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Itr2jHuJaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the fact that the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise announced its sixth installment in 2018, <strong>the movie has remained on hold due to the pandemic and restructuring within Disney, which has lowered expectations for an immediate return to theaters<\/strong>. Fans of the series are still waiting for news about this continuation, but for now, the legacy of the original attraction remains alive.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intriguing story of the skeletons has fueled speculation about the possibility that human remains may still be present in the attraction&#8217;s facilities, giving more life to the urban legends surrounding it. Undoubtedly, <strong>the connection between the attraction and the film saga has kept enthusiasts both in parks and in cinemas, as they await the next chapter of this successful franchise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Disney+\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/246b1fd4-6164-4c6f-9318-27e1cb587dc6\/489019137\/disney-plus-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Disney+<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/disney-plus.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/disney-plus.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iconic movie saga Pirates of the Caribbean originated from an attraction of the same name in Disney parks.
