This Maritime Museum attraction, when 'attacked' by a bunch of menacing pirates supplied by Rex Studios, saw the introduction of a themed Pirate Adventure walk-through and Pirate Exhibition!

As well as supplying a range of themed signs, animatronic talking heads and detailed replicas of torture equipment, a trommel illusion (revolving tunnel) was added.

This illusion really gets you in a spin with its rotating outer drum turning around you as you walk through on the single-span bridge. All your vision becomes taken up by this movement (enhanced by the mirror illusion at either end) and with clever scenic work at the tunnel ends you soon become caught up in this sea storm experience, especially when we add quality sound effects and themed lighting!
