What's Happening in the Spring
New Virtual Reality Ride Coming Soon
A one-of-a-kind 360-degree VR thrill ride is coming this spring. Go on an adventure like no other to the Otherworld and rescue the sacred Heart of Eire. Soar high above the trees on the back of a dragon alongside Addie and prepare to take on the dark forces together.
