Instead of showing the Caribbean, this ride is inspired by the Dutch going to Indonesia for its spices (E.g: Dutch East India Company). Really cool and unique take on the "pirates dark ride" concept!
But there is absolutely nothing Indonesian in that ride. Batavia looked nothing like that. Those buildings have Spanish influence and most of the boats are of Chinese influence. The swamp is very United States influence.

It’s a theme park not a history museum. What did you expect? A fully dedicated historically accurate representation of privateer life in the 1700s?
@@henrylivingstone2971 when they actually use a specific city name (not a general area as Caribbean, or Asia, etc), yes I expect more authenticity. Even if it means just ONE element that fits the title. Instead, NONE of the elements fits Batavia (or south east asia, or even asia in general for that matter).
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted
Then you’re a fool for expecting that much from a theme park ride. They obviously named it that so it would be more familiar to a European park going public.
And there are few though very tenuous details that can be interpreted as being inspired from historical source material. The village scene uses thatch huts that are similar to Toba Batak houses, used by the Batak people of northern Sumatra of Indonesia. Also there seems to be shields similar to that of the Sepik river tribe cultures in Papua New Guinea which is technically in Indonesia.
Also how can you even tell what the ships look like? Most of them look sunk or merely shown on their broadside, there’s no telling whether it’s a Spanish galleon or a Dutch fluyt.
Also what swamp? There’s no swamp, it’s obviously jungle and the continental US doesn’t have any tropical rainforests. There’s a temple with obvious allusions to Khmer architecture and strangely a reference to Balinese mythology, regardless there are many references to south East Asian cultures even if it is a mish mash.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted
Also the Chinese man and ship is obviously a reference to the sino-Dutch conflicts common at the time. Considering the proximity to the Chinese mainland and European eagerness to access the Chinese market for silks and porcelain the prevalence of pirates around the south China seas was no doubt a common occurrence. There have been conflicts with both Chinese pirates and the Ming and later Qing dynasties against the Dutch east India company and later the Dutch protectorate.
Absolutely an amazing ride and what's even more amazing is how quickly they put it together. For those that don't know the original ride burned to the ground 2 years ago and they did this all since then. Absolutely incredible work ethic.
Cool concept , it's so strange seeing a pirate themed attraction being this calm and relaxing, for me it looks like a kind of a mix between pirates of the caribbean and it's a small world !
That’s literally how Pirates of the Caribbean is at Dland. So rather it’s like a kind of mix between Pirates of the Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean. Haha
@@BeeGee2424 yeah i was thinking... the pirates ride is relaxing?? Lol
@@BeeGee2424 ... and Fata Morgana and Vliegende Hollander of Efteling!
4:19
Fun fact: these are actualy one of the remaining old animatronics that survived the big fire. Cool way of recycling
While it isn't as exciting as PotC, it certainly is more beautiful.
No clue what’s happening, but what a gorgeous attraction!
i see "ONDEL ONDEL" dolls .. Batavia is Jakarta now .. and im from indonesia so proud to see this .. hope i will ride next time .
There is a big Easter egg in this ride which you missed to film (05:08 when you look straight in the middle... Too bad that there is no close up view of this animatronic)... You can literally see the owner of Europapark (who is also the owner of Mack Rides) as an animatronic. This animatronic was a gift from the kids of Mr Mack.
How cool...I thought it was Bill Gates XP
While I think it’s a nice ride with beautiful effects and settings, it’s a little bit predictable and very relaxing. While I don’t have anything against relaxing rides, things that have to do with pirates are more energetic. This is a perfect ride for those who prioritize aesthetics over adrenaline
Its nice ride you can experience Pirates of Caribbean, Jungle cruise and It’s a small world at one time lol
Plus Swiss Family Treehouse and Tiki Room (minus the birds). A bit of Indy thrown in there as well. A grand circle tour of Disneyland!
This is because you can find them all in Indonesia....even to this day.
1:45 ok that is gorgeous though
I'm always amazed at how well they do forested scenes at Europa Park.
This is one of the best dark rides I've seen in at least a decade!
Wow, this whole ride is spectacular. Its really relaxing. The scenery is beautiful and the ride seems to go on and on while telling a never ending story.
It is a bit loud, and its difficult to tell what is being said, but the scenery speaks for itself.
Great job, super nice video.
Yeah everything in the setting is in a unique style and I'm surprised how detailed it is
@@njdotson yes, its beautiful.
Something's off with this recording, in real life the audio is way more balanced.
@@ParkInsider hey Park, thanks for that info. I appreciate ya.
Maybe it is me who is a little off and unbalanced. Lmao. Haaaa haaa.
Take care,
Glen
Definitely an improvement over the original, which looked too much like a bad POTC ripoff. The animatronics still aren't up to Disney quality, but the staging and atmosphere make up for that.
Amazing job in replacing the ride that burned down
Interesting differences with Pirates o/t Caribbean: here the lift hill is not part of the experience. And now it strikes me how Disney has totally missed to do something with the boats themselves...
Brilliant. Those animatronics are so well-done, the environments beautifully realized. Best non-Disney ride I've ever seen. Thanks!
I really like how at 1:09 they dim the lighting to use it as kind of a transition effect
This really feels like a combination between Pirates of the Caribbean and Spaceship Earth. I also like how the ride flows past the restaurant at the end. Its like the 3 Caballeros ride. But the animatronics are too stiff. If they were to move more than 5 degrees, this would be phenomenal.
This ride has an overarching story, so much to see that it doesn't get boring even after a few rides. The music is awesome and it's even tied into the Theme Park overarching narration. One of my favorite darkrides even better than the one which burned down.
Ah a nice way to promote Indonesia
Looks like Disney's imagineers have abandoned Disney and gone to Europe. It's bad when other theme parks are giving so much more depth and creativity in their attractions than the standard. Get a clue from these people Disney!
My friend is an imagineer for Disneyland Paris, I’ve known him when I worked there at the opening and he said he’s getting very frustrated with a lot of young woke Americans going over there with no imagination who just want to make thrill attractions based on the latest superhero films with projection screens as it’s cheaper and quicker thinking that’s what people want, not realising Europeans have a lot of old history Gothic, Renaissance, Scandinavian vikings, romans, Anglo Saxons etc that they are more interested in
That’s better than some modern Disney World rides.
Please tell me you've done Madame Freudenreich Curiosités and Sleigh Ride Snowflake, the world needs to know what Europa-Park is TRULY capable of 😂
Yes we did. Will be posting those videos soon.
@@Attractions360 You really are the best ✌️
The theming and detail in this ride is AMAZING! Wow! You don't see anything like this in America. This ride blows Pirates of the Caribbean out of the water (haha)! Just stunning and so beautiful!
You must be joking.
I don’t think it’s better than the one in California for nostalgia purposes but it’s way better than the one in Disney world. That one is really short and barely has anything going on
It's no Pirates of the Caribbean, but it truly is quite a beautiful tribute to it.
This attraction is really deserved the title “amazing”, especially its attention to details
Wow ... very nice ride. Love pirate themed attractions. Thanks for sharing.
Batavia is Jakarta capital city of Indonesia
Part Pirates of the Caribbean, part Peter Pan's Flight, part Small World and part Las Vegas pirate-themed penny slot machine.😁 It's definitely flashy!
Absolutely incredible low-light footage! Everything looks so vibrant
Very beautiful 😍🌸
Very beautiful ride
I light the eltric light in the shape of a latern on the toure boat. Are there more pirate themed rides I have never seen?
If you think of it pirates we're not just in the caribbean. They were global. What about river pirates?
Looks like the ride has a senic restaurant in it. Great idea.
Disney have that more the past several decades.
Super 👍🔥
this ride quiet amazing but as a Jakarta's citizen (Batavia now) this ride aren't accurate, so many misconception about Batavia in 14th-19th Century, there is no Budha temple around Batavia, and they put Mannequin using modern Betawinese outfit (native tribes of Batavia), and they put so many African element on many spot, which is wrong since Batavia are located in south east asia.
This is a great ride! I like the concept and the art on the walls!
My honest opinion - It's very ornate and colorful, unique in theme, and lot of movement throughout the ride. Of course, the animatronics are SO much better at Disneyland, and the 1st (and only) drop is shorter and more like the 2nd drop at Disneyland. Also, the music/sounds are somewhat bland (no rousing "Yo Ho" song to connect the theme). Colors are great in the video. Cool SFX lighting at the end, but it doesn't really have any Punch to the end. Reverse Blue Bayou experience at the end seems anti-climactic compared to the "leaving the real world" effect of the original. Overall, seems like a pretty good knock-off, and being that Disneyland is in Paris and not Germany, it seems to be a close enough equivalent for Germany. Obviously, the Original is levels above this, but if this were the only one I could afford/travel to, it is quite impressive. Nice blend of Tiki Room/Adventureland at the beginning. Lastly, only about half the length time of the Original POTC.
I love how they step across into the boat. I wish Disneyland would adapt to that. For people with balance/mobility issues, stepping down into/up out of the boats can be a little tricky.
Wait what do you mean? It looks like they board the same way Disneyland does.
Ok, this was a cool one. Loved the tiger anamtromic, really well made
This is so messed up. It’s supposed to be in Batavia (Indonesia), but the music is Chinese inspired. Oh, and none of the buildings is Asian
The Indonesian comments will flood this section soon.....
This is amazing
Looks incredible 😍😍
The amount ot detail omg!! wow!
This ride smells incredible!!!
My humble opinion, nothing, but NOTHING, can touch the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland in Anaheim
Dang, okay so I was trying not to be bias comparing this to Disney’s version but who’s to say another theme park can’t do a pirate ride? Sure a lot of elements were borrowed from Disney but I gotta say this one of the better version of a pirate ride out there. I think it had great beautiful set pieces, lighting, projections, so so robots, and one heck of a confusing storyline I’d still go check this one out
This has everything. Even a Blue Bayou restaurant. I would totally do Europa park!
I like the music in this attraction! Not the typical pirate swashbuckling music we are used to in the Disney Parks pirate attractions but it's different and it works! And I do like the boats you ride in. WAY more themed than the Disney Parks!
Maybe its and relaxing boat ride, but they definitely did really nice job on the animatronics and the art itself. There was a lot going on during the boat ride itself and 10 minutes is a bit longer than you'd expect from something like this.
This ride looks so much better than Disney World!
This ride was pretty terrific! It looks like a Pirates ride with a bit of Jungle Cruise and a little Indiana Jnes thrown in!! I only wish I could understand the language so I could follow the story. I think it is better than Disney's, in that it has more animatronics and actual sets that your ride vehicle passes by, while Disney is depending on more and more screens and fewer Imaginative sets and animatronics. Movies screens are cheap and easy to fix, so Disney is letting more and more screens dominate their rides. But I can sit at home and watch a movie on a screen------going to an expensive theme park to watch a movie is not appealing. I remember the old Pirates of the Caribbean ride from many years ago, and it it was fabulous, without the screens and without the movie tie ins, and long before they "updated" it. . It was a favorite of everyone's long before the movie existed. Disney would have no problem creating something like this ride pictured here, and make it even better, but they would rather stick to the cheap cop out. I applaud Europa park for going the extra mile to make an interesting ride that people will remember. Terrific video.
I read elsewhere in a different comment it’s about the Dutch going to Thailand for spices etc
Unique perspective. I never thought about global theming
Best camera filming on youtube AWARD !
The affects were pretty good 😊
Music was too loud and they should of kept things less bright, still a fun ride.
The soundtrack is epic.
Love it.
Really impressive! I hope I get to see it in person some day.
Que legal 👍👏
I can't get over the scale of this ride. It looks absolutely enormous
Copycat POTC ride… fine. It looks fun. But it will never equal Walt’s original creation at Disneyland, which embodies his dream and vision forever.
This ride is alot better than the Caribbean one in Paris and Florida. I have been to all rides and this one is the best.
Pirates of the Carribean in California still takes the cake though
I Love the Ride!
Great theming. A bit slower than I thought but still great
what a beautiful ride - ambiance, props, light, costumes,... very surprising. Would love to ride it.
Pirates of the Caribbean could use a few gators. I’m just sayin.
A boat piloted by a cast member dressed as a pirate, to street the boat and a talking skeleton or pariet with a pirates hat as a animatronic tour guide. To take ten special passengers to a secret place the gift shop/ restaurant where your wallet can be lightened at the same time ten ten peoples bellys are filled.
Fantastic ride ! In a fantastic Park! ' Oak Island ' for the 21st century tourist !!
Rip off of the original Pirates ride at Disneyland in California. It even has a restaurant.
I can’t seem to place where I’ve seen this before?? 😊 that looks like a great ride.
I think the theming, sets, and set decorations of this ride surpass Pirates of the Caribbean! It looks beautiful.
Só vim aqui dizer que só o amor de Deus pode preencher nosso vazio, só falem com Ele
4:12 these are the robots that survived the fire good that they still used them
TDLのカリブの海賊とジャングルクルーズの要素がとても盛り沢山ですね！笑
実際に乗ってみたいです！
I live in Batavia (now is Jakarta, Indonesia)
This is awesome.
I wonder how many man hours/ years it took , to build this ride. 🤔 Definitely one I'd go on though 😉
The last version of the ride burned in 2018 or 2019 i don t remember exactly and they rebuild it in 2 years
Not bad for Europa Park. It's really incredible and colorful work of design, music and light. Thanks for sharing!
The story feels a little odd for me but, a lot of Europas rides are that way. The sets and theming however are absolutely spectacular. That first large room…just wow
This park is disneyland and universal studios combined
Those animatronic people eating at the tables look AMAZING! LOL... really impressive ride! A lot going on to see!
Reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean but in the style of Maelstrom. They need a catchy theme song and not this boring flute type music.
It is similar to "The Adventures of Sinbad" of Lotte World in Korea, but this is more attractive.
Damn! this is a good one!
and now i hear its burned down today :(
thats actually the rebuild version of it
パイレーツオブカリビアンかと思ったけど違うのか
Consider that the original POTC opened 53 years before this attraction.
โคตรสวยเลย แต่ละห้องแต่ละฉากสมจริงมาก ดูลงทุนเยอะมาก เห็นแล้วอยากจะดูหนังแฟนตาซีที่พวกหุ่นในสวนสนุกมีชีวิตตอนกลางคืน วิ่งเล่นกันในนั้น
I hope it will be build more than that in DISNEYLAND
어머나요
Pretty snazzy
Music is perfect for this ride.
Wanna dine in that restaurant
blunt ripoff from pirates of the caribean + small world + jungle cruise.. but with higheeeer quality!! Disney should learn something from them !!!!
Nah, no ripoff. It is themed to a journey to Asia by the Dutch, where they went to get spices. It has nothing to do with Pirates of the Caribbean
I mean duh this ride opened in 2020. Those Disney rides are like decades old.
It's not a ripoff when it's history. It's Indonesia.
How is it a ripoff? Disney doesn’t own pirates
The sets and lighting are gorgeous and very immersive.
I couldn't tell you what the story was, except that it has to do with the Dutch exploitation of the East Indies. If I spoke Dutch, i would probably have a better sense of the story, however a good design wouldn't require that. You don't have to speak English to understand Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean.
The peaceful languid music does nothing to contribute to the story either. It gives the feeling that you are taking a leisurely boat ride, in no danger. And its lacks a catchy tune.
There were lots of animated characters throughout but too many had any sophisticeted motion and resembled department store mannequins. Most of the time I had no idea what their role in the story was either. Who are the pirates attacking? Why does no one feel threatened?
The show has beautiful digital effects throughout. It borrows the fencing shadow pirates from POTC. Many of the mechanical effects, such as the cannonade attack were underwhelming.
The costumes, especially in the Indonesian village set, were absolutely lovely.
My rating:
Sets A
Lighting A
Practical Effects C+
Digital Effects A
Music C
Character animation B-
Story D
The park is bilingual German and French. There is no Dutch.
@@KeikoChan1991 I speak both languages and I still couldn’t understand!
@@bryanwalton7528 I don't now why you couldn't understand it but I can. German is my native language and English second.
tbh this ride is better than the disney pirates one. the details and scenery are so realistic and beautiful
To be fair, this ride opened in 2020 while the Disney Pirates opened In the 1960s. Of course there would be improvements technology wise.
