Shiver me timbers, maties... in 2008 the once serene port of Merrie England was overrun by scurvy scum and has been transformed into Mutiny Bay, a perfect pirate's playground.

The centrepiece of the Mutiny Bay is 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.

Mutiny Bay is also home to the ever popular Flume: Unplugged, the Haunted Hollow and Marauder's Mayhem, a fresh look for the park's Tea Cup Ride as well as Heave Ho!, which adds a whole new spin to a traditional Pirate Ship ride.

If you fancy a trip to Davy Jones' Locker take a visit to Sharkbait Reef by Sea Life, where guests can come face to face with monsters of the deep in the brand new Sea Life Centre. The courtyard at the centre of Mutiny Bay is also home to a new show; The Pirate of Sharkbait Reef, in which guests meet Emily, the unfortunate hostage of an evil pirate.

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, including panning for gold at Pirate's Treasure, . So set sail for Alton Towers for a veritable treasure trove of fun and fantasy.
