The Ghosts of Piracy Past is designed to be a spooky and immersive experience. It will be dark, and at one point during the experience you will be in tight quarters in a wooded outdoor area. Strobe lights and other disorienting props may be used. Live actors may spook you in various ways but will not touch your person or belongings.
If you are afraid of heights the sky ride is 700 feet above sea level. You may sit out during that portion of the treasure hunt.
