Disneyland Monorail
About this ride
The Monorail glides silently on an elevated beam around the perimeter of Disneyland, offering bird's-eye views of the park. The current refurbishment includes infrastructure upgrades to support pillars and electrical systems — a significant overhaul.

Pirates of the Caribbean is the original Disney dark ride masterpiece — the one that set the template for everything that followed. Walt Disney himself oversaw its creation, and it opened in 1967 as the last attraction he personally supervised. You drift through moonlit bayous and into a chaotic port town under siege by buccaneers.
