Once you defeat Captain Barbossa, the gate opens to allow you to continue.

The Ride has 3 different areas, the first area you must defeat 2 enemies from the cursed Black Pearl crew and then finally Captain Barbossa. This gold gate is the entrance to The Ride. Once you have built the gold mast that needs 84 Gold Bricks, walk up the stairs and head through the back passageway that was blocked by a gold gate. You will need to complete this secret level in order to get the 85 and final Gold Brick.
