Building Journey to Atlantis

by Staff
Journey to Atlantis Atrium


Journey to Atlantis was built by German ride manufacturer Mack GMBH. It is the first ride of its kind in America that combines both a roller coaster and water ride experience. A similar ride called the Atlantica SuperSplash, built by the same manufacturer is featured at Germany's Europa Park.

The contractor for the ride is San Antonio-based Guido Brothers Construction.

We think they did a great job!

Building Facts:

  • The ride took 100,000 man-hours to build
  • Each boat weighs 9,400 pounds
  • More than 150 gallons of paint were used to cover the structures at Journey to Atlantis ride area.
