New Rendering of Shanghai Disneyland’s Treasure Cove

Earlier this week, as part of The Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger revealed new details about Disney’s first-ever Pirates-themed land and a new Pirates of the Caribbean attraction designed for the under-construction Shanghai Disney Resort.

“Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most iconic attractions in our parks, and we really couldn’t imagine Shanghai Disneyland without Pirates,” Iger said. “We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind experience that would appeal to our Chinese guests while remaining true to its Disney heritage.”

Anchoring the Treasure Cove area, the e-ticket “Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle of the Sunken Treasure” attraction will feature a combination of new technology and innovation to bring guests along a pirate adventure with Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Davy Jones.

“We are extremely proud of all the work underway to bring the Shanghai Disney Resort to life,” Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs said. “And we’re excited to re-imagine the iconic world and characters of Pirates for the first time as an entire land that celebrates the creativity, imagination and adventure of both the fan favorite attraction and the popular film franchise.”

This announcement coincides with the completion of key structural work on the Pirates attraction, and marks another milestone in the resort’s development. Shanghai Disney Resort remains is scheduled to open by the end of 2015.
