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 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.
“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
