With summer just a few months away, Sandcastle Waterpark in West Homestead, Pa. announced Dragon’s Den as the newest addition to their family of water slides.

Dragon’s Den is the biggest addition to Sandcastle in nearly ten years! “We want to try to keep things fun and exciting for our guests,” says Sandcastle’s General Manager Damian Dondero. “This has been a few years in the making and we are excited to add a water slide that is completely different than any other experience we currently have at the park.”

Dragon’s Den will offer guests maximum thrills as they catapult through a dark and mysterious 45 foot tunnel slide, which then plummets them into a 35-foot bowl where they encounter a 9-foot tall dragon that spits mist at its riders. After completing 2-4 revolutions in the mist-shrouded abyss, guests will suddenly disappear from sight, splashing down in a landing pool.

Located adjacent to the Mon Tsunami Wave Pool and behind the Snack Shack, Dragon’s Den is a two-person tube slide. Riders must be 48 inches or taller to ride. The slide is manufactured by ProSlide Technology Inc. Construction on the Dragon’s Den is expected to be finished in time for opening day of the 2012 season.

Sandcastle will open the weekends of May 26-28 and June 2-3 with daily operation beginning June 9.
