Secrets
There are 64 human and 55 animal Audio-Animatronics in the attraction.
Back in the days when there were two channels at the load area, the boats went through an automatic switch gate in staging. That was the source of many downtimes.
The first drop is 52 feet, at an angle of 21 degrees, and the second is 37 feet, also at 21 degrees. This was necessary to get the boats under the Railroad tracks, as the main show building is actually outside the tracks. Guests also get to go *up* a 90 foot waterfall at a 16 degree angle.
Near the end of the ride, the white haired prisoner is actually a replica of a janitor who worked there.

Psst! Avast there! It be too late to alter course, mateys, and there be plundering pirates lurking in every cove, waitin' to board. Sit closer together and keep yer ruddy hands inboard! That be the best way to repel boarders. And mark well me words, mateys, Dead men tell no tales! Heh heh heh...
Ye come seeking adventure and salty old pirates, aye? Sure you've come to the proper place. But keep a weather eye open, mates - and hold on tight, with both hands, if you please! There be squalls ahead, and Davy Jones
waiting for them what don't obey! heh heh heh...
We pillage, plunder, we rifle and loot, drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
