A buck an ear.
What do you call a stupid pirate?
The pillage idiot.

As you've probably gathered this is a pirate ship, complete with pirate theming. This ride is also one of the biggest sinners when it comes to the parks visual continuity. It looks good, having a bright crisp cartoony decor. As good as it looks though it doesn't fit in it's current location, meaning it feels out of place.

This gives the impression of it being a good fairground ride, that's just been placed in a free slot, rather than an attraction that feels like it belongs at the park. This is a shame as in the right setting it could be a visually notable attraction.

 

Once you try it though, you discover a nice family thrill ride, chances are you know the drill. The ship swings back and forth in a rocking motion, that lifts you out of your seat at the top of each swing. This is a smaller version of the ride, which isn't as thrilling as some of the larger versions, but this one still does a nice job.
