New Travel Channel Special
Features the New Dragon's Revenge
Special-Effect Family-Thrill Ride
at Schlitterbahn®
Waterpark Resort
"Extreme Waterparks" airs Wednesday, August 13
at 8 p.m.
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – The new
Dragon’s Revenge special-effect family-thrill ride is the star of a new Travel
Channel special entitled “Extreme Waterparks.”
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.
The show is scheduled to air Wednesday, August 13 at 8 p.m. then again on
Sunday, August 17 at 7 p.m.
“The entire Schlitterbahn family is honored to be a part of this new Travel
Channel program,” said Darren Hill, Schlitterbahn’s general manager. “We believe
