Griffin’s Galleon is the larger of two boat-themed rides in Land of the Dragons, the other being the Sea Dragons roundabout.
This ride, manufactured by Zierer, seats riders aboard a big raft-style boat which moves up and down along a gentle half-pipe type slope. As the ride gets going the boat also rotates slowly, which helps give riders the sensation of floating at sea.
Griffin’s Galleon is located at the end of the Land of the Dragons cul-de-sac dead end, so can be easily missed unless guests specifically seek it out.
