Conquistador

Ride Info

Mexico & Spain
Calling all explorers! In the tradition of the great Spanish conquerors, cross the bridge to high seas adventure on this powerfully authentic Spanish galleon! Climb aboard the sturdy and swift swinging sea vessel for a rip-roaring voyage on the high seas. Don’t be fooled by the calm skies, for once you take your seat on the deck of this full-sized 16th century explorers’ ship, you’ll set sail to breathtaking heights. As the ship starts to rock swiftly up and back to dizzying heights, it feels like the Conquistador is getting tossed around on the surf. You’ll swing higher and higher until the whole vessel is practically vertical. As the ship arcs 180 degrees into the sky, you’ll know these must be some serious untamed waves. At a full 66 feet high, you can check out the view of Mexico & Spain, but hold onto your silver coins because you’re about to experience sheer weightlessness! You’ll hang in the air for a moment, before slamming back down and swinging up the next wave with stomach-tightening momentum – in reverse! You’ll feel the wind race by as you soar even higher. Remember, brave conquerors aren’t supposed to scream! This unstoppable velocity would make even the most experienced ocean explorer a little wobbly. But if you’re daring enough, a life of adventure awaits!

An Unforgettable Pirate Ship Experience.

Get your sea legs on! Or… sky legs, perhaps?? Whatever the case, prepare for some serious to-and-fro freefall action in this full-size Spanish galleon. This one really puts the “high” in “high seas”, Conquistadors be prepared to conquer any fear of heights.

Each time the ship reaches its peak pitch, riders experience a brief, butterfly-inducing sensation of weightlessness before plummeting back down. 

The tossing of the ship gradually builds, briefly pausing at the apex of each wave, until reaching its maximum height of 66 feet!

 

One of our favorite traditions here at the park is the screaming contest that usually breaks out between the riders at either end of the ship, as each ‘crew’ throws their hands in the air, yelling to see who can make the most noise. Join the adventure and become part of this boisterous amusement park pirate-ship tradition.
