“The World’s Number One Waterpark” Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort is the #1 Waterpark in the World for 10 Consecutive Years. Not only is Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort the most popular summertime waterpark in the United States, but it is also ranked as the #1 Kid-Friendly destination in the state of Texas. The park is located on the banks of the spring-fed Comal River in New Braunfels, between San Antonio and Austin, in south central Texas. NEW in 2008! Dragon’s Revenge Special-Effect Family-Thrill Adventure 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 moat 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.
