There’s the Giant Swinging Boat. It’s only fast by the end, not near as wacky a ride as the last two, perfect for what you want. Yeah, you’ll go to <span class="mu-s">The Cursed Ship of Dave!</span>
It’s an old-timey giant boat that rocks until it does a couple of full vertical spins. A Giant Squid is grabbing the very bottom, oh, and a random bum is there too, like, it’s not part of the staff — it’s a wax figure. That’s probably Dave, right? What a loser.
You grab the vouchers for it and wait in front of the lore sign. Vera says it’s your turn to read the lore.
Briefly, the lore of The Cursed Ship of Dave reads as follows: 500 years ago, The Supreme Creator commanded a sailor named ‘Dave’ to change courses to the city of Xumenlo to prophesy against it, “for their great wickedness is come up before me,” but this sailor instead sets sail to the nearest great city for shelter.
A huge storm arises and his fellow sailors and family, realizing that it is no ordinary storm, cast lots and discover that Dave is to blame. He admits this and says if he’s thrown overboard, the storm will cease. The crew refuses and continues rowing, Dave, knowing that their efforts will be in vain, throws himself into the ocean, praying for the ship to pull through.
Dave is then dragged by a Kracken to be devoured, the sailor continues to pray to the Supreme Creator as water fills up in his lungs. The Creator heeds his plea, and assures that the ship will never sink, then commands the beast to bring Dave to the surface.
The storm still raging, the ocean waves stay relentless, the crew screams in agony for the seas to calm. And one by one, the waves claim each crewmate, each friend, each child, and his wife — and with each one gone, Dave vowed repeatedly that he will commit to the task the Creator gave him. But in the end, only the ship was afloat, and will remain forever.
“God commands once.” The Creator spoke after the seas stopped ravaging. Then the divine being ordered the beast to take Dave to his family and both sank to the depths of the oceanic abyss. Dave vowed that he will bring God, everything that it holds dear, and all of its creations to the bottom of the sea, leaving only the boat on the face of the earth. From his heart’s resentment, the abyss monsters were born, and now they roamed the seas, looking for people to bring to Davy Jones’ locker.
