Pirate Party – Anthony Peeters

Pirate ship ride with standing cages

Operator: Anthony Peeters

Pirate Party Peeters is a travelling pirate ship ride operated by Belgian showman Anthony Peeters. What makes it special is that, alongside the traditional rows of seats, it has standing areas in cage-like gondolas. This sets Pirate Party apart from most pirate ship rides at European funfairs. It is an eye-catching attraction at Belgian fairs such as the Foire à 1 Euro in Huy and the Winterfoor in Aalst.

A pirate ship you can stand on too: Pirate Party gives the classic pirate ship ride an unusual twist.

What it’s like to ride Pirate Party Peeters

The pirate ship swings back and forth like a giant pendulum. With each swing, it goes higher until you hang in the air for a moment at the turning points, high above the fairground. Then the ship rushes back down. You feel the thrill most strongly at the ends of the ship.

In the standing areas, you experience the pendulum motion quite differently from when you’re seated. However, staff decide which places are available to you, in accordance with the applicable safety rules.

Who is the pirate ship ride suitable for?

Pirate Party is a thrill ride for teenagers and adults who enjoy moments of weightlessness. Height and age restrictions apply to children and are displayed at the entrance. If you prefer a gentler ride, sit towards the middle of the ship, where the swing is smallest. Store loose items safely before the ride so nothing falls out of your pocket.
