What happens

Pirates 4D (also known as Pirates 3D) was an attraction film designed to be shown in a specially-built or remodeled theater space in a theme park, featuring in-theater special effects, sometimes referred to as a 4D film. The film itself is a dual strip 70mm 3D film short, featuring Leslie Nielsen and Eric Idle, written by Idle and directed by longtime theme park film director Keith Melton. It was produced by Renaissance Entertainment and Busch Entertainment Corporation, and distributed by Iwerks Entertainment. It was released in 1999, and first shown at Sea World Ohio (then owned by Busch), at two Busch Gardens parks, and at Thorpe Park in England, then owned by The Tussauds Group, which was the earliest overseas venue.
