The Adventures of Squanto

The Adventures of Squanto will be an attraction opening with a Universal-owned park called Islands of Discovery (a version of Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL) at Plymouth, MA. It will be on Patuxet Island and will be a stunt show.

Queue: Guests walk through a building themed to an Indian village. Guests look down on the village (a similar thing with Men in Black: Alien Attack). What's included in the village are audio-animatronics of Patuxet. After a minute or two, the doors open.

Main Show: Guests meander to a theater room where they sit down on a row of wooden seats. The show begins with a Patuxet indian saying "You have heard of the Indian known as Squanto, but you do not know the actual history." The curtains open and it shows Squanto's childhood, the time he's captured by Spain and sent to England, the time he returns and gets captured again, and while he's gone the Patuxet indians died due to a plague. The story continues when Squanto returns and discovers that the Patuxet were dead, and how he helped the Pilgrims survive the winter. The show ends with the First Thanksgiving.
