Pirate Ship

Fitting a 24-Seat Ship Into a Tight Site

Not every park has room for a headline swing ship, and not every operator wants one. The 5PS-06 is built for the sites in between: city plazas, smaller parks and family entertainment centres that want the real pirate ship experience without dedicating a large plot to it. At twenty-four seats and about seven metres of swing height, it delivers the format at a scale that fits land already in use.

That makes it a sensible second or third major ride rather than a flagship. It anchors a family zone, fills the gap between kiddie rides and serious thrill machines, and gives guests a reason to stay an hour longer.

Low-Power Operation and Utility Connections

The drive is rated at 11 kW on a 380 V three-phase supply. For a park watching its running costs, that figure matters: the ship can run all day without dominating the electricity line, and most sites can connect it to an existing board after a load check. There is no need for a dedicated substation, which keeps installation simple and avoids a supply upgrade.

The Family-Thrill Balance for Older Children

The swing is exciting without being extreme. Pre-teens who have outgrown kiddie rides often want something with a genuine rush, and this ship gives them one while staying comfortable for parents riding alongside. Operators who need more capacity in the same zone sometimes add a larger 32-seat model and let the two serve different age groups within one queue area.

A Fast-Build Ride for New Attractions

Because the structure is compact, delivery and assembly are quicker than for a full-size ship, which suits operators opening a new attraction or refreshing a zone before a season starts. The foundation drawing is issued before production so ground works can run in parallel with manufacturing. Commissioning confirms the swing limits, braking and interlocks before the ride opens to guests.

Cleaning, Inspection and Daily Checks

The hull and seating are straightforward to clean, and daily checks focus on restraints, the platform surface and the drive area. The manual lists what to inspect each morning and what belongs in a deeper periodic review, so a shift change never leaves the next operator guessing. CE certification and the supplied documentation satisfy the records most licensing teams expect to see.

Branding the Hull with Custom Paint

Colour and decoration are specified at order, and laser-printed graphics can carry a park name, a mascot or a seasonal theme. Because the ship is compact, a single strong colour scheme reads clearly from a distance and helps guests identify the ride in photos. Operators planning a themed zone often coordinate the palette across several rides rather than treating each one separately, and a small 12-seat mini version makes an easy companion piece for the youngest visitors.
