Pirates Landing was introduced in 2010 coinciding with the opening of Jolly Rocker. The area used to be called Wild Woods but since the re-theme of Pirate Falls Dynamite Drench LEGOLAND Windsor decided to re-theme it to Pirates! Pirate's Landing is in-between Land of the Vikings and Knight's Kingdom Area

It's two main attractions are Pirate Falls Dynamite Drench and Jolly Rocker. Other attractions in this area are Pirate's Training Camp and Goldwash.

Pirate Falls Dynamite Drench

Pirate Falls Dynamite Drench Finale

Pirate Falls Dynamite Drench is a re-themed version of Pirate Falls which opened in 1996, it was not just re-themed though, the whole attraction was "closed, cleaned, rewired, re-animated and marketed as an ‘explosively enhanced’ update" in 2010 for Pirates Landing. The ride is a normal log flume but with a very strong storyline. The boats journey through a jungle following a band of not so clever pirates and their plot to stop us from reaching the hidden treasure trove in the mysterious wooden building. Inside the wooden building however is not just treasure; it's loaded with dynamite! The captain has lit the fuse, and the spark of flame is travelling through the rope towards the dynamite... The legendary treasure is in sight but too late, the boat falls through the floor and splashes into the water beneath.

Jolly Rocker is a swinging pirate ship with LEGO theming, it has 8 rows and is able to hold 5 people in each row. IT was introduced for the 2010 season and was originally from Heide Park which is also owned by Merlin Entertainments.

Goldwash

Goldwash in Pirates Landing

Pirate's Training Camp is an extended version of The Rat Trap which is what it was before the Pirate re-theme. It included wooden-shipwrecks, squishy floors and other interactive areas.

Goldwash is a relatively small attraction where children can pan for gold and win a medal at the end of it, this does cost a bit of money.
