Thanks for the video! This really brings back memories, it was such a magical place for me and my friends back in the late 60's. We didn't have Disney World back then.

@jasonjlaw haha you got it!

I recall a larger wooden coaster near the mouse one called the wild cat~

[andysott]

Also at Pirate's World was the "Grand National Steeplechase", which was originally from Coney Island,[3] along with a Wild Mouse roller coaster, a log flume (also bought second-hand from the New York World Fair), "various carnival flat rides including a paratrooper, a sky ride, some carny games, a skee-ball arcade, (and) spiral slides".[2]

@andysott I remember the spiral slides there was a portion of them that was dark and there would always be a kid jamming the slide in the middle of it. Those were great times. Thanks for posting !

A most awesome video and GREAT music to go along with the fantastic memories. The great thing about Pirates World was there was not even the pretense of safety! Plastic horses so slick no one could stay on for long. Nuts, rust and bolts sprinkling the ground when the roller coaster passed overhead.

Good times. Good times.

Broken, usually missing, safety belts. Sharp rusty pointy bits to snag & skewer the unwary. Good times. Good times.
