Pirate Adventure

Themeparksandy1981 said:
The 5 ride areas were Action park, Fisherman's wharf, Children’s corner, Pirate Cove and Aerial park.
Aerial park was the top end of the park.

And prior to Stormforce 10, Fisherman's Wharf was known as Cowboy Town (for a few years).

I remember when Pirate Adventure opened (before they themed the surrounding area to Pirate Cove). I went in August 1990 that year, after going at least once a year since 1983. It was like this huge stand alone building appeared out of nowhere and took up most of the park. It was like nothing else in the UK and bigger than anything at Alton Towers. It looked huge from the Jungle Cruise. Such a shame it was not continually updated and cared for. It is/was Drayton Manor for me.

Ad.E.Pt hopefully The Looping Group see sense and reopen Pirate Adventure.
 
I think after the 2024 coaster/Wild West area, the Pirate Advenure Building/Excalibur Lake will be the next area for development.

• Knock down the PA building
• Fill-in some of the man-made Ex. Lake
• New Vekoma Family Invert partially over the remaining lake
• Mack Indoor Dark Ride (smaller blueprint than that of PA, but still using the building to partition the area from TL)
• Couple of family flats (Zamperla/Intamin)

Themed to an Enchanted Forest? Dinosaur themed? I don’t see the Pirate theme returning with Adventure Cove & Vikings - too similar in my opinion

They can't destroy the building due to it being home to many other rides

I hate to break it to you but these petitions really don’t work. Some of them can get tens of thousands of signatures and nothing happens. Unless a miracle happens I highly doubt this will work. (I still signed it :ROFLMAO:)

Enchanted forest would be a wonderful theme for the area and definitely could be a good one for a dark ride on the site of PA.

I would say maybe the building is reused for this and not knocked down though as it's quite a structure and has a few uses (e.g staff areas and some of Thomas land / the food outlets )

Trooper Looper do you think there’s a chance Pirate Adventure could reopen next year? Duel at Alton Towers was refurbished in under 6 months. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pirate Adventure return next year to rival Alton Manor.

Alton and drayton are friends not rivals. And just because Alton manor reopened doesn't mean pirates adventure is and this is getting a bit repetitive so time will tell us
 
Think its worth noting that curse at Alton manor was a retheme of an existing ride and the ride system wasn't knackered or most of the theming damaged.
