Our tips:

Dragonwatch

Dragonwatch is the family drop tower in Avalon. The ride opened in 2023 and was built by Intamin. As a heroic "dragonwatcher", you're hoisted up to spot dragons. After that, you plunge down several times.

The concept

This is where all the dragons of Avalon are lovingly cared for. You keep watch from the tower: if you see a dragon, send it to this place. The tower is about 40 metres tall in total and has six parachutes, in which you take your seat with your group.

The Experience

You're hoisted up to almost 20 metres and get a lovely view over Avalon. Then the dropping begins: the biggest drop is 17 metres, at around 19 km/h. Exciting enough for children, without being too intense. A ride lasts about a minute and a half.

Use Single Rider

Riding alone? Then you can use the Single Rider queue and fill the empty seats.

Watch out in winter

According to the calendar, Dragonwatch is closed during Winter Feelings up to and including 16 December 2026. Check the opening hours calendar before your visit.

Spot the dragons

Take a good look around when you're at the top. Can you see the dragons around Avalon?

Visitor information

From 1.20 metres you can ride alone; between 0.80 and 1.20 metres you must be accompanied. Below 0.80 metres there's no access. Shoes are compulsory. Dragonwatch isn't suitable if you're pregnant or have neck, back or heart problems. With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then they swap. You get the ticket for this in the station. In heavy rain, snow or strong wind the ride may open later or be temporarily closed; you can check the current status in the Toverland app.

A first drop tower

Dragonwatch is ideal for children who want to try a drop for the first time. Afterwards, little ones can carry on playing in Little Dragons, the play nest for the very smallest dragons.
