Later installations most likely utilized a more common package which was the early Iwerks 3D/4D FX Theatre System. Busch Entertainment Corporation (BEC) developed its own package for its initial installations, as did Thorpe Park. The in-theater effects packages were sometimes produced by different manufacturers. The 4-D effects are of two general types: in-theater special effects, such as water cannons,Īnd specialized seating, with built-in effects and audio. Viewers of the film wear polarized 3D glasses in order to experience the film's 3D effects. And an additional sequence featuring Rodney Dangerfield was only included in the Bush / SeaWorld Attractions. As the screen begins to close to black, Lucky appears in front of it and spits out water, telling the audience "I'll be back" before the closing screen bonks him and knocks him out. They all return to the ship, where the crew makes Lucky walk the plank, and Davie is named as the crew's new captain. Lucky eventually escapes the shackles and begins to have a sword fight with Davie, whom he disarms. Meanwhile, the pirate crew discovers Davie, and prepare to attack him, before Pierre shows up with the skeletons of Lucky's last crew. After the captain begins caressing the chest's treasures, the chest locks him with shackles and drags him out of the cave and into a lake, past the pigeons. The captain finds his treasure chest, which now holds a booby trap. Lucky approaches Pierre, menacing him with "To me.or not to me". Upon entering the cave, Pierre encounters a giant spider and various bats, before running into the skeletons of Lucky's former crew, having been hung by shackles to the cave's walls. After the booby traps leave all the pirates behind except for the Captain and Pierre, Lucky leads Pierre into a dark cave on the island where his treasure is hidden. Pierre is caught in a trap involving pigeons, which defecate on him. The next pirate has a bee hive dropped on his head, while the next is hit in the back by a cactus. Two of the pirates are caught in a trap involving crabs. The captain, with a French pirate named Pierre ( Eric Idle) as his first mate, returns soon after, along with his new crew.
