So lets begin:

Anamatronics for a nice tavern scene:
Dancing Pirate animatronic: Just a lone pirate dancing a jig.(Would make a great companion piece to the pirate band.)
Dancing Pirate couple Animatronic: A pirate and his girlfriend just having a good time spinning around as they dance to the music.)
Dancing Pirate pals: A couple pirated dancing together because they just don't have any girls to dance with like the above couple.)
Drinking pirate sitting: Just a pirate sitting on a wooden barrel drinking whatever it is that pirates drink.
Drinking pirate standing: Just like the above but without the barrel.(I figure having some pirates handy for a tavern scene would be a must.)
Drinking Redcoat sitting: Just an off duty Redcoat sitting on a barrel drinking whatever it is that pirates drink. Wait....
Drinking Redcoat standing: An off duty Redcoat drinking while standing.
Dancing Redcoat: A redcoat dancing by himself.
Dancing Redcoat and girl: A redcoat dancing with his girlfriend.
Dancing Redcoat goofballs: Two redcoats goofing off and dancing together.
Tavern Serving girl: A waitress that walks back and forth carrying a tray of whatever it is that pirates drink.
Tavern Serving guy: A waiter that walks back and forth carrying a tray of whatever it is that pirates drink.
Standing waitress: A waitress just standing around taking a break.(Or possibly tending the bar.
Standing waiter: A waiter just standing around taking a break.(Or possibly tending the bar.)
Dancing waitress: A waitress that decided to drop what she was doing to dance with everyone else.

Other anamatronics that would fit well with pirate themed stuff

Swashbuckling pirates: Two pirates sword fighting each other back and forth.(Half the fun of pirates is watching them sword fight.)
Swashbuckling pirate vs. Redcoat: A redcoat and a pirate fighting each other with swords... and the redcoat has lost his hat.
Pillaging Pirate: Just the pirate variant of the patrolling redcoat, walks back and forth with an armload of treasure.
Pillaging Privateer: Similar to the pillaging pirate, but is a different pirate and carrying a barrel on his back.
Pillaging Buccaneer: Similar to the privateer but carrying a treasure chest on his back.
Peg-leg Pirate: Just a peg legged pirate walking around not carrying anything but his cutlass.
Redcoat general: Is a redcoat general using a flintlock to fire from cover.
Redcoat general angry: A redcoat general using his flintlock while standing.
Swinging pirate: An animatronic pirate that swings back and forth from a fixed point intended to be hidden in a ceiling or roof.
Hanging Pirate: A pirate that is hanging from a rope that raises and lowers.(Not hanging as in from a noose but hanging onto the rope with his hands like the swinging pirate, but with a raising/lowering action instead of a back and forth swinging action...)
Lounging Mermaid Blonde: A blond mermaid just lounging on a rock.
Lounging Mermaid Brunette: A brunette variant of the blond mermaid.
Lounging Mermaid Redhead: A red headed variant of the lounging mermaid.
Circling Sharks: Some anamatronic sharks on a circle track that "Swim" in a circle.
Lounging Crocodile: Just a Crocodile sunning itself on the beach or whatever... It's main animation is it opening its mouth and snapping it closed again.
Pirates sinking Rowboat: A poor desperate pirate clinging to the end of a sinking rowboat that bobs up and down before going under. (Fits perfectly in the middle of the above mentioned circling sharks.)
Sea Serpent head: An anamatronic head of a sea Serpent that bobs up and down out of the water or cave or whatever.
Sea Serpent body: The middle section of the sea serpent that bobs up and down.
Sea Serpent tail: The tail end of the aquatic serpent.
Lunging shark: A shark that lunges up out of the water.
Singing Tiki Mask: Could actually have several variants of these.(Not strictly pirate themed but would still fit with a tropical setting regardless.)
Hula Dancers: Just some anamatronic Hula dancers.(Not strictly pirate themed I know but seems to fit the whole tropical idea anyways.)

Non-animated stuff:
Pile of treasure: Basically a pile of gold and jewels just sitting "Loose" on the ground in a heap about the size of a dragons poop.
Sitting Pirate skeleton: An eye-patch wearing skeleton in a pirate hat that's just sitting around on his bony butt.
Cutlass: Just a pirates sword sitting around loose.

Some more animatronic ideas:

Sleeping Pirate face down: A pirate sleeping on his stomach and is using an empty bottle for a pillow.
Sleeping Redcoat sitting: A sleepy redcoat that's slacking off... Not much differant from his pirate counterpart.
Sleeping Redcoat on back. A lazy redcoat sleeping on his back.
Pirate Torch bearer: A pirate holding a torch while looking around. "Panics" when his torch goes out and he has to relight it.
Redcoat Torch bearer: The redcoat counterpart to the Pirate torch bearer.
Redcoat Flag bearer: A redcoat carrying the British flag back and forth.
Redcoat Deck Swabber: A redcoat that moves back and forth "Moping" the deck. Has a mop bucket at each end of his track to "Dunk" his mop in.(Naturally not wearing his overcoat.)

Barrel pirate: A pirate hiding in a barrel that pokes his head up like from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.(Yeah the picture is of what it used to be before they replaced the girl with Jack Sparrow to tie it in with the movie franchise...)

Don't worry, I'm sure we have a lot of content that Fronteer doesn't plan to inject licensed properties into the game so it would probably be some other pirate we never heard of... Or perhaps a girl.... or even a mermaid?

As for other pirate themed stuff, how about some standing flagpoles that don't necessarily need to be attached to a building? Could have one for each of the pirate emblems, the union Jack, and even the planet coaster logo as well...

It would also be nice to have some static characters (offered as props?) just to populate a scene.

Well a trick I've learned with animatronics is that you can manually set the to "Activate on trigger" without linking them to a trigger(Which causes them to become static.) I use this with cannons sometimes, and have done it with a pirate too once.

Speaking of Animatronics:

Revolving lighthouse light.(Yes I know we could probably rig up something with triggers for a similar effect, but that would be time consuming to get right...)

Pirate a pirate themed clock pendulum that swings back and forth. (Has a skull motif)
Pirate clock: A pirate themed clock face.

No problem.

As for some more pirate themed props...

Cutlass Statue
Crate of Coconuts
The old Grog sign(Not the blank one we have now, but the one that had a picture of a Mug on it... No idea why they replaced it with the blank version.)
Ships Wheel: To hang on the wall.
Freestanding Ships Wheel: One that can be freely placed anywhere.
Pirate Laundry line Freestanding: Some pirate cloths hanging out to dry between two posts.
Pirate Laundry line: Similar to the above but without the posts.
Empty Gibbet: Just like the one we currently have in game, but without the Skeleton.
Pirate Bunting: Similar to the Bunting from the Fairy Tail theme, but with little pirate flags...
Pirate Bunting: The above without posts.
Small Skull statue: exactly what it sounds like.
Skull fountain head: Similar to the lion one from the fairy tail theme, but with skulls... and yes it has running water coming from it.
Flintlock statue.

Another idea for an anamatronic or two... or three....

Perhaps some other sea life anamatronics too, such as:

An octopus on a rock...
A cartoonish whale....
Singing fish...
Crabs

Beach stuff:
Starfish
Gold bar
Small and large piles of treasure... (Still wondering why they don't have heaps of gold of various sizes... Would be great for adding stuff to a treasure wagon.)
Broken Rowboat front and rear sections.
Oars.
Seaweed piles
Whale bones
Whale skull
Tattered mast(Has the boon with sails on it.)
Raft
 

histories

So while we are on animated themes how bout some for the old west theme such as a horse drinking water. An animated stagecoach robbery/ gun fight. Indians doing a dance around a fire pit. Ghosts that randomly fly around the park the point A to point B. UFO that flies over the park maybe hovering for a few seconds then vanishes. a wizard having a conversation with a man then suddenly turns the man into a frog. The list goes on and on. Just a few ideas in the past 10 minutes.
