Pirate Adventure

[Themeparksandy1981]

I do wonder if the Bryan’s after the success of Thomas land jumped the gun with the hotel like we did get the Ben 10 coaster and Air race built in the main park but also in the last 10 years of operation they lost with out been replaced still away
The Black Revolver 2010
Excalibur 2012
Pirate Adventure 2015
Drayton Queen 2016
Splash Canyon 2017 but SBNO to 2021
Chair Lift 2017
Big Wheel 2017
G Force 2018 but SBNO to 2020

That is quite a lot of stuff to be removed with just Air Race taking over the Black Revolver.

Now with the Pirate Adventure they didn’t have the money to bring it up to H&S standards and they only started to remove the scenes cause of the fire in Germany.

The front not changed but down the side there’s new wooden railway sleepers been installed, a new gate and the maintenance door was open.

I doubt they’d do the gate for nothing and same with the door being open. Still optimistic for next year

Well a lot of work is happening around the pirate adventure building
They finished the wall

The Maintenance area looks empty now

Also there was a lot of noise coming from the other side of the building so I went and had a look from the zoo side and they started to take the pirate adventure theming off the side of the building

Also trees have been cut down

Shawn TPWW while I was chatting to him did confirm that the next big project for the park was the Pirate adventure building and did confirm what I already knew that the building is currently been stripped and his promised a construction update some time over the summer months.

Think it is just finishing off removing the scenes left after the 2019 season. If they can get the ride system restored and the boats repaired or replaced then they can have whatever theme they desire in that building but they be stupid not to stick with Pirates as the Bounty, Dodgems and Jolly Buccaneer all fit in that theme already and the Arcade and Burger bar to easily just the area.

It was partially stripped years ago for the auction as parts were sold on.
It would make sense to continue stripping down the building, especially if future development was at point of heavy consideration .

What I do know, is that the park are aware of how beloved Pirate Adventure is to guests.

I’ve heard rumours that work is going on inside the Pirate Adventure building to restore the ride to its former glory. I believe the work has begun now so the Ride can return next year. Last year Mack Rides boxes were seen outside of the building. As the ride has been SBNO for a decade the mechanics will need testing,the building brought up to Health,Safety and Fire regulations and finally any original scenes being kept wil need to be spruced up. All this work will take time. This work will be worth it though if Pirate Adventur returns next year.
