MYRTLE BEACH -- Dolly Parton's Pirates Voyage is setting sail Friday night in Myrtle Beach.
Since January crews have been busy converting Dixie Stampede, which ran for 19 years, into the new Pirates Voyage theme.
Parton says, "We had the idea a few years ago we were going to convert this into a pirate thing kids love pirates, we all do!"
The renovations cost around $11 million, and feature a 15 foot deep pool with a ship in the middle.
According to Parton visitors will see quite a show, "we got all these performers to do all this acrobat stuff in the air, things in the water, we got Sea Lions!"
