Jolly Pirate Barrel Ride

Ahoy there, Pirates off the starboard bow. Erm, and off the Port bow, oh, and behind you too (and maybe a few in front of you, if we’re entirely honest).

A water-based barrel ride like no other

It’s a fab, fun and splashy ride into the unknown. You’ll meet the whole of the Sundown Pirate gang who are lying in wait, just around the next bend in the river to spring a few surprises and keep you on the lookout throughout the ride. It’s even more fun if you all try and spot them together. But beware, you may get a little wet!

Children have to be accompanied by an adult on this ride, so there’s no getting out of it. you just have to join in the fun and prepare for a soaking.

Ride Safety Instructions

WHAT TO EXPECT

You will board and disembark your Barrel whilst travelling on a conveyor system, if you have a problem with loading please speak to an operator beforehand.

Once you are seated the barrel will naturally rotate as it travels around the flume.

Please ensure that you remain seated at all times and do not swap seats.

We do our best to ensure the barrels are loaded and balanced as best we can, but at times they can rock a little.

Be aware there are several water sprayers around the flume, and you WILL get wet!
