I'm now going to continue a tradition I started when writing a review for Oakwood's pirate ship, here goes;
A pirate captain goes up to his first mate after a raid on a coastal village;
"A good haul I hope" says the captain.

"I'm afraid not captain" replied the first mate, "I think we picked a poor village to raid" he continued.
"What!" exclaimed the captain, "How much money did you get?"
"All we found where a few copper coins" replied the first mate.
"Did you try the church? Did they have any fine tapestries or Holy treasures?" Asked the Captain.
"All we got was a wooden alter" replied the first mate.
"What about the farms?" Asked the captain. "Did they have any animals we can eat, or sell at market?"
"One Donkey" replied the first mate.
"One Donkey!" exclaimed the Captain.
"Aaaargh" replied the first mate, and he continued .................

.................
(Wait for it)

"It was the only bray in the pillage."

That was terrible wasn't it. What about the ride itself? It's a very well decorated version of a pirate ship, it's clear some effort has been made in the decorating and this does help a little to enhance the ride experience. The actual ship is quite a basic small model of one that only creates a mild effect at the top of each swing. It does the job of providing a good fun thrill ride most of the family can enjoy, but it doesn't achieve much more than that.
