A pirate ship is a type of amusement ride, consisting of an open, seated gondola (usually in the style of a pirate ship) which swings back and forth, subjecting the rider to various levels of angular momentum.

Ahoy pirates! No trip to Skull Island would be complete without a ride on a giant authentic pirate ship, the S.S. High Seas! Don’t be fooled by the calm skies, because once you take your seat on this sturdy and swift, full-sized bounty-style pirate ship, you’ll set sail to breathtaking heights and take a rip-roaring voyage through the currents.

There’s a crow’s nest for lookouts, and even a carved figurehead of a woman on the prow of the ship. Pirates put her there to guide the ship through rough waters. You’ll be glad she’s along on this wavy ride!

As the ship starts to rock swiftly up and back to dizzying heights, it feels like the vessel is getting tossed around on the surf. You’ll swing higher and higher until the whole boat is practically vertical. As the ship arcs 180 degrees into the sky, you’ll know these must be some serious untamed waves. Hold onto your hats and get ready for sheer weightlessness, as you hang in the air for a moment, before slamming back down and swinging up the next wild wave with stomach-tightening momentum – in reverse! You’ll feel the wind race by as you soar even higher.
