Something About Pirate Ship

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.

Remember, brave pirates aren’t supposed to scream! This unstoppable velocity would make even the toughest sailor consider walking the plank. But if you’re daring enough, a life of adventure on the High Seas awaits!

The Pirate Boat consists of a steel support structure made up of 4 uprights leaning in from the 4 corners of the rectangular base to meet at the top in a hub. This hub bears the hanging boat using 2 linked spokes.

The center contains all drive and electrical installations and serves also as a trailer to transport the boat (road model).

Drive power for the swinging movement is transmitted to the boat via a drive crank advanced towards the keel and which is fitted with an electrically driven ferris wheel.
