Walt Disney Company has been updating a controversial scene in their multiple swashbuckling theme park rides. The presentation involves a woman named Redd being auctioned off with a sign reading, “Take a Wench for a Bride.”

The scene has now been updated to depict pirates selling stolen goods, with Redd joining the motley crew.

“In this scene, the familiar redhead figure has switched sides to become a pirate named Redd, who’s just pillaged the town’s rum supply and has something to say about it,” said Kathy Mangum, portfolio creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering.

“Just as Walt Disney embraced and encouraged Disney Parks to ‘keep moving forward’ since the opening of Disneyland Park in 1955,” she continued. “Walt Disney Imagineering has introduced many new characters at Pirates of the Caribbean attraction over the years.”

The massive entertainment company announced their intentions to update the ride at all their theme parks last year.

Disneyland Paris revised the attraction last year and Florida’s Walt Disney World made the changes on March 19. California’s Disneyland will begin remodelling their version of the ride on April 23.
