New in 2008! Dragon's Revenge
Family-Thrill Ride Adventure
Eight uphill blasts, six creepy caverns, two-story freefall and
one angry dragon
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – The creature attacked. The residents
escaped. Now it’s your turn. Visiting families will be thrilled
this season with the unleashing of Schlitterbahn Waterpark
Resort’s latest sensation, the Dragon’s Revenge, scheduled to
open this summer.
Park guests, eager to flee the wrath of the dragon’s attack,
weave in and around castle ruins in search of an escape route
before the mystical creature returns. After crossing over a draw
bridge and entering into the castle’s guard tower, guests
quickly discover the only way out is through a labyrinth of
ominous caverns. Once aboard the escape vehicle, thrill-seekers
are quickly propelled through a series of uphill blasts
rocketing riders in and out, up and down around the perimeter of
the castle before taking a final fog-filled freefall into the
castle’s mote below. Guests careen through six dark creepy
caverns filled with magical special effects including spinning
tunnels, theatrical lighting, fiber optics, riveting original
music, aromatic atmosphere, fog, faux fire and an encounter with
the angry dragon.
“We are excited to unveil our one-of-a-kind family-thrill
adventure beginning Memorial Day weekend,” explained Darren
Hill, Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort’s general manager. Not only
is this the debut of the first heavily themed attraction in our
company’s 29-year history, but we are also proud to premier many
of the new state-of-the-art attraction effects in the waterpark
industry.”
Guests must be at least 42” or taller to ride. Please visit
