I began a Scooby-Doo World theme park last October with a Scooby-Doo Haunted Mansion (see scooby-doo-haunted-mansion.html). The ride layout is similar in layout to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Taking much of its inspiration from the season 1 “Go Away Ghost Ship” (1969: 2 years after Disneyland's Pirates opened) guests will encounter a mystery on the Red Sea with Scooby-Doo and the gang. Guests board rowboats in search for the Ghost Ship. The line “Dead men tell no tales” takes on new meaning as Captain Redbeard’s ghost seeks to wreak havoc on the high seas. The ride starts by a narration of the freighter captain C.L. Magnus telling Mystery Incorporated about one of his ships being hijacked by Captain Redbeard. He then describes the legend of the captain. During the main part of the ride, guests will pass by the ghost ship surrounded by fog with Captain Redbeard cackling. The gang gets on-board the ship and is chased away by the crew of Captain Redbeard. A later scene takes place in the underground lair of Skull Island. The town scenes involve the gang getting chased around by the ghost pirates and the ghost sword. At one point, Scooby and gy ride a jackhammer. At the end of the ride, Redbeard’s Ghost is unmasked to be C.L. Magnus. He had hijacked his own ships to profit from items on-board. The fog surrounding the Ghost Ship was caused by dry ice. Although the focus is on the characters and story of “Go Away Ghost Ship,” other pirates are based on ones found in “The Ghostly Creep from the Deep” with the Harlem Globetrotters and the movie “Scooby-Doo and Pirates Ahoy.”
