Shiver me
timbers, maties... the pirates are coming to Alton Towers in
2008. The once serene port of Merrie England has been
overrun by the scurvy scum and by the new season will have
been transformed into Mutiny Bay, a perfect playground for
the peg legged.
Mutiny Bay will be home to the Battle Galleons, an interactive water
ride set in the lake at the heart of the area. Get ready to soak
friends and foe alike as the park arms you with a water cannon on one
of eight pirate boats to cast off into the melee. Even Land Lubbers
can get in on the action, with various water cannons placed on the
paths around the ride allowing them to give a good soaking to any
shipmate who gets too close.
Also joining the line up for Mutiny Bay will be Heave Ho!, a brand new
children's ride that adds a whole new spin to a traditional Pirate
Ship ride. These two new rides will be joining the ever popular Flume:
Unplugged, the recently added Haunted Hollow and Marauder's Mayhem, a
fresh look for the park's Tea Cup Ride.
The other new attraction in the area will be a new show set in the
courtyard; Pirates of Mutiny Bay will introduce Captain Black and his
motley crew, who will help guests on their way to becoming full
fledged pirates. Completing the line up, salty seadogs can splice
their mainbrace in one of the area's restaurants, or enjoy a wide
range shops and sideshows. So set sail for Alton Towers in the new season
for a veritable treasure trove of fun and fantasy.
