New Pirate Adventures? It Could Only Happen At...

When it comes to great theme park rides, Pirates of the Caribbean set the standard for excellence back in 1967 when it had its debut in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. The Imagineering team fired on all cylanders, and be it California, Florida, Tokyo, Paris, or Shanghai, the crowds have made it a not-to-be-missed destination.

What if I told you there was a new kid in town, one playing for keeps- and it wasn't in a Disney park?

 Here it is: Europa Park hits another home run with their Pirates of Batavia (Piraten In Batavia). The old one had been destroyed by fire, so the park built a brand new attraction. And is it good! 

How does in compare to Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure or the originals? See for youself.

Look at this video from Theme Park Worldwide: 

Surprised? I was! Perhaps Europa Park should be on my list for my next adventure.
