The best ride at Disney World is Pirates of the Caribbean. It's 8 minutes and 30 seconds long. The ride opened on December 15, 1973. During the ride, as your boat enters the main area, you'll find yourself in the midst of a battle with cannon shots whizzing by. That's one thing that happens during the ride.
