Arrr, me hearties! The Alton Towers Resort will be opening a fantastic new themed land especially for families in March 2008 named Mutiny Bay.

The flagship of the £6m pirate-themed area will be Battle Galleons, an interactive water attraction set to challenge all ages. Aboard the eight Galleons, wannabe swashbucklers will take part in a fun-filled splash battle of their lives with no-one, riders and spectators alike, safe from a spectacular soaking!

The fully immersive Mutiny Bay will also be home to Marauders Mayhem - a spinning sensation set within barrels of rum and explosives guaranteed to shiver your timbers! Plus, for smaller explorers, a ride aboard the rocking Heave Ho tug boat ensures even the youngest of adventurers can graduate from Mutiny Bay as fully-fledged pirates!
