Catapult through mysterious darkness and plummet into the Dragon’s Den

The Dragon’s Den is open for brave adventurers

Have you ever wanted to experience the thrill of meeting a real-life dragon on a quest for adventure that you’ll remember for years to come? Then Sandcastle’s newest attraction will take your breath away, because The Dragon’s Den gives you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience just that! From the very beginning, your heart will race as you rush headlong into darkness with the essence of mystery all around as your journey begins. Wondering what’s around the next turn, you’ll plummet down into the mist-shrouded abyss of the dragon, gazing up at the mighty beast with a scream! Don’t worry because, as with any good legend, you’ll vanish from its sight just as quickly as you came... like waking up from a dream. 

You won’t believe the legend is real until you encounter it in person, which is why this is one ride you can’t afford to miss! But if you’re still nervous about undertaking such a grand quest, don’t worry: The Dragon’s Den is an adventure built for two. This means that you won’t have to go in alone; instead, you’ll have a trusted member of your family or squad right there on your raft for support! This is one of the best attractions for making memories with all your favorite people: as long as you’re both 48” tall, you’re ready to go. Just note that both riders will have to be under 400 lbs in order to ensure a swift getaway from the mighty beast awaiting you!

If getting up close and personal with a real-life legendary creature isn’t thrilling enough for you, don’t sweat it -- we’ve got you covered! For another fast-paced slide for you and your family to tackle together, try the Blue Tubaluba, where single or double riders are welcome. If you are seeking an epic adventure that’s even more intense than The Dragon’s Den, Lightning Express is the scariest (yet funnest) slide in all of Sandcastle!

We have some of the best water park attractions in Pittsburgh!
