Black Buccaneer was a Pirate Ship built by German manufacturer HUSS that was previously located at Chessington World of Adventures in Chessington, Greater London, England, UK. The ride is currently in storage at Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World in Grand Island, New York, USA.
History
The attraction did not reopen for the 2019 season. In May, the park confirmed that it would not reopen for the remainder of 2019 but hinted that it could "take to the seas again".[1]
The ride was eventually removed from the park and was replaced by another pirate ship known as Blue Barnacle in 2021. It was subsequently dismantled and was sold to US operator IB Parks & Entertainment, who sent it in 2021 to be possibly rebuilt at Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World. The park was previously known as Martin's Fantasy Island and lost many of its attractions in 2020 when it's previous owners, Apex Parks Group closed the park by selling off it's original rides. The ride is deemed to be in critical condition however after being inspected and it is unlikely to ever be rebuilt. It remains in storage.[2]
