Alton Towers Unveils Newest Area - Mutiny Bay
14/04/2008
Shiver me timbers, maties... the pirates are coming to Alton Towers in 2008. The once serene port of Merrie England has been overrun by the scurvy scum and by the new season will have been transformed into Mutiny Bay, a perfect playground for the peg legged.
Mutiny Bay will be home to the Battle Galleons, an interactive water ride set in the lake at the heart of the area. Get ready to soak friends and foe alike as the park arms you with a water cannon on one of eight pirate boats to cast off into the melee. Even Land Lubbers can get in on the action, with various water cannons placed on the paths around the ride allowing them to give a good soaking to any shipmate who gets too close.
Also joining the line up for Mutiny Bay will be Heave Ho!, a brand new children's ride that adds a whole new spin to a traditional Pirate Ship ride. These two new rides will be joining the ever popular Flume: Unplugged, the recently added Haunted Hollow and Marauder's Mayhem, a fresh look for the park's Tea Cup Ride.
The other new attraction in the area will be a new show set in the courtyard; Pirates of Mutiny Bay will introduce Captain Black and his motley crew, who will help guests on their way to becoming full fledged pirates. Completing the line up, salty seadogs can splice their mainbrace in one of the area's restaurants, or enjoy a wide range shops and sideshows. So set sail for Alton Towers in the new season for a veritable treasure trove of fun and fantasy.
