A greedy buccaneer skeleton sitting frozen atop a pile of gold for the past six decades in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland has been brought to life with the latest cutting-edge animatronic technology from Walt Disney Imagineering.<\/p>\n

The Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in New Orleans Square at the Anaheim theme park reopened on Friday, June 26 after a two-month refurbishment with a new state-of-the-art Audio-Animatronic character in the treasure-filled grotto scene.<\/p>\n

The updated grotto scene now features an animatronic pirate sitting atop a pile of cursed gold who transforms from a living buccaneer into a ghostly skeleton and back again as riders float past in bateaux boats.<\/p>\n

The next-gen Hybrid Front Projection technology combines a traditional animatronic head with front projection imagery that delivers real-time, detailed and expressive facial features and expands the storytelling repertoire of the mechanical figures.<\/p>\n

Imagineering previewed the next generation Audio-Animatronics technology during a media visit to its top secret Glendale facility in February.<\/p>\n
