Those photos really make it feel like the doors are about to open any moment - the amount of space by the doors is oddly highlighting its there...
Its a shame to see it like this.
I thought they couldn't actually take that sign down as it would damage the building?
i fully agree with the petition i hope more people wish for it back
Now this ride was originally built a couple of years before Pirate Adventure and was lost in a fire but fans loved it that much it’s been rebuild and it reopens Spring/Summer this year now I know they got more money than Drayton Manor but if they just got rid of the scenes and I think all Pirates have been tested and most still work I can maybe see this making a comeback. It’s easy to start from a empty shell again like Charlie and the chocolate factory ride cost 8 million but how much of that was for the IP, Marketing and the lifts? Also having a empty shell means they can have the correct emergency exits. They kept the bumper cars pirate themed so it will cost a lot more to retheme half the building. Would love to start a petition to show that it’s not just us theme park fans who wants the ride to come back.
fully agree with you thereI would love to see a revival of the attraction in one format or another.

same hereI second thisThe attraction was definitely one of their more themed rides and the amount of rides still themed to pirates in the area means a revival would be feasible. It was much loved and based on the auction and online response, has been missed.
Bit of an off topic:
I would personally love to be a part of rennovating / bringing an attraction to life so would happily offer to help the park too (Not that I have any real experience other than making props and the odd themepark design here and there but it is a dream experience to help with a dark ride / work on a project like that...)
It's a shame how wasted that sign is now ?!Found a photo I took back in August 2017, which was the last time I visited the park, of the Pirates entrance. I really hope they do something with the building. Ideally with a pirates theme.View attachment 2110
I think the park won’t want to spend money on a empty building to they know what will replace the pirate adventureI think it would look good if they carried the dodgems ahoy facade onto the Pirate Adventure building.
yeah i agree there saves the park spending money unnecessarilyI think the park won’t want to spend money on a empty building to they know what will replace the pirate adventure
I totally agree. It’s more wishful thinking on my part and from aesthetics point of view.I think the park won’t want to spend money on a empty building to they know what will replace the pirate adventure
