Suddenly, the HMS Britannia steals around the corner at Skull Point, and British naval officers challenge the pirates to surrender their valuables and their vessel. The pirates refuse and proudly stand guard to defend their ship. Thus begins a swashbuckling battle of epic proportion. Munitions explode and mainmasts topple. This amazing theatrical experience has taken place more than 7,000 times to date, using more than one-half million pyrotechnic devices, and has been witnessed by more than 16 million people.

Palm trees reach 60 feet above cascading waterfalls. Lagoons meander through a forest of rich tropical flora including banana trees, elephant ears and orchids. Woven into this waterscape is an artist's palette of beautifully colored, delicately arranged tropical flowers enveloped in natural sunlight. Water mists the area lightly throughout the day to enhance the amosphere and help keep the plants cool. Five full-time gardeners spend over 200 hours each week to maintain the more than 100 different types of plants in the atrium.
