World's First AquaQuest Interactive Water Adventure
Grand Opening This Friday, August 7 at 10 a.m.
Aqua Kingdoms, LLC presents Pirate's Plunder, a new and
innovative
live-action waterpark treasure hunt game experience
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – Be the first to set
sail and play a new live-action interactive water adventure, the
Pirate’s Plunder. The award-winning creators of MagicQuest™ are
introducing a new prototype waterpark game experience at Schlitterbahn
Waterpark Resort, New Braunfels.
AquaQuest, is an adaptation of the MagiQuest game technology brought to
life at Schlitterbahn’s unique waterpark experience. Using an AquaGlove,
guests can activate various themed water effects, complete whimsical
quests and earn points as they navigate through various park attractions
while exploring the waterpark.
The Pirate’s Plunder treasure hunt game takes guests on five unique
quests in search of the mysterious ruby-red crystal, buried long ago by
Red Eye the Pirate, and hidden deep within the adventure. Along the way,
treasure hunters encounter surprising water-filled traps and chests
filled with gold, as they test their skills and earn their place as a
Master Treasure Hunter.
“We are excited to test this new prototype AquaQuest experience this
summer at Schlitterbahn,” explained Carin Brown, Aqua Kingdoms’
president. “We’ve combined state-of-the art water effects, wireless
technology and waterproof infrared AquaGloves to offer families the next
generation of live-action waterpark gaming adventures.”
“We have a long history of introducing world’s firsts, so we are proud
to partner with Aqua Kingdoms to test this new innovative experience,”
mentioned Darren Hill, general manager for Schlitterbahn Waterpark
Resort. “I can’t wait to see our guest reaction as they search for
hidden treasure around the park.”
