While most locations are either easily modified or custom-built for the ride, Indiana Beach is another story!  The old dark ride building was altered several times previously and a major redesign of the track and scenic components was needed.  Extensive roof decor was created for the Den of Lost Thieves rides at both Indiana Beach and Wildwood.  Colorful, oversized scenic elements, pirates and Admiral, together with comical soundtracks and lively music, draw attention to the ride.

Den of Lost Thieves delights riders around the world.  With its interactive game elements, cartoon-style design, lively characters and music, this ride follows the design concept of The Great Pistolero Roundup but features colorful pirates and bristling British naval officers–whose ship has been robbed of all its treasure. The 14-scene ride takes visitors on a wild chase through the pirates’ secret island in search of the hidden booty . . . whenever a target is hit, your score goes up!

When Den of Lost Thieves opened, Indiana Beach tripled the price they had charged for admission to the building’s prior attraction…and  increased ridership by 45% (a 435% increase in revenue)!
