Pirates Invade Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
New 4-D Comedy Adventure Debuting in Timbuktu Theater
TAMPA, Fla. – Pirates 4-D – a swashbuckling 4-D comedy adventure for the entire family – invades Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Timbuktu Theater Feb. 18, 2006.
Pirates 4-D, starring Leslie Nielsen, combines the latest 4-D special-effects technology with multi-sensory theater effects to thrill guests of all ages. Guests experience sprays of water and a shipload of surprises during their adventure with the sea’s most hapless band of pirates.
The voyage begins aboard a pirate ship in the Caribbean with Captain Lucky, played by Nielsen, leading the cast of greedy ocean rebels. A hearty serving of humor and adventure keep guests laughing as the Captain and his gang of buccaneers land on a remote island and set out on an ill-fated search for treasure.
Unbeknownst to the captain and his crew, a young lad named Davey secretly waits on the island, ready to foil their plans with cleverly crafted booby traps. The pirates battle fierce bats, swarms of angry hornets and journey through a dark, mysterious cave.
The 15-minute nautical adventure was written by Eric Idle, who also stars as Pierre, Captain Lucky’s loyal first mate. Idle, a member of the Monty Python comedy troupe, includes “National Lampoon’s European Vacation,” “Splitting Heirs,” “Casper,” “102 Dalmatians” and “Ella Enchanted” among his film credits.
Busch Gardens’ air-conditioned Timbuktu Theater seats 750 guests and features four digital projectors that run simultaneously. Guests wear 3-D glasses to create the visual effects that allow the film’s featured images to vault off the screen and pull guests into the midst of the action. Surround sound built into the seats and theater special effects combine to further immerse the audience in this swashbuckling adventure.
Pirates 4-D will take the place of R.L. Stine’s Haunted Lighthouse, which debuted in May 2003 and has entertained millions of guests.
