Same can be said about the Matterhorn and possibly it's offspring Everest... That came from that movie with Kurt Russell, or Adventureland's creation based on True-Life Adventures...

As I recall, he'll be in the dunking the mayor scene, ducked down behind the well, kinda hiding. Then he'll be in the jail scene, over on the left. Sorry, can't remember the third appearance. And I believe Barbossa will take over the ship as it storms the fort, and the ship will be redressed as the Black Pearl.
