Marauder's Mayhem

Marauder's Mayhem is a Mack Rides tea cups ride with pirate barrels in Mutiny Bay.

Marauder's Mayhem lets riders decide how dizzy the experience gets. The whole platform spins, sections of the floor move independently, and each barrel can be spun even faster by the riders themselves. That keeps it an easy family ride, but with enough chaos for anyone who really cranks the wheel.
