Skull & Crossbones
The Pirates of the Caribbean ride is one of the favorites for countless people across the globe, and it’s fair to say that a lot of effort has been made to make it look as authentic as possible. In fact, that also includes going as far as introducing real skeletons into the mix.
When the ride was in the development stages, those in charge struggled to find fake skeletons that would look as realistic and as creepy as they wanted them to. They knew that the fake skeletons just didn’t give them what they wanted, so they made their way to the UCLA Medical School instead.
It just so happened that the medics had some skeletons going spare. For a few years, many of the skeletons along this ride were actually real, but most of them have since been replaced by fake ones. Rumor has it there is just one real skull and crossbones left.
