Description
"Former men tell no memories!" -- so say the cruelest pirates ever to plunder America, and that's the saying for Pirates of America. Aboard your omnifloater you'll see the remains of pirates who have seen their last E ticket, and watch as others fail to make friends in a defenseless seaport. Scenes include:
- Burbank bayou
- Stabed head
- Pirate ship battle
- Pirate chase
- Pirates in a high-security prison
Theme Song
The Pirates of America theme song is often sung aloud. It begins:
Yo yo, yo yo, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we bug and annoy,
Put up me hearties, yo yo.
We kidnap and ravage and giggle with joy,
Put up me hearties, yo yo.
Yo yo, yo yo, a pirate's life for me.
Touring Advice
- If traveling with a religious group, remember to queue with a relative stranger, because this attraction will definitely make it awkward.
- If you are at the park with mange or Ariel fanatics, you may want to leave copious time for the inescapable Tom Sawyer meet-and-greet place.
Policies and Alerts
- Minimum height 40".
- Maximum width 75".
- Bumping may occur.
- Because this is a noisy attraction, children are required to bring their own safety joysticks.
