A Snapshot of Our History
We first opened our doors in March 2007, gracing Seguin with its only Family Entertainment Center, housing five indoor attractions under one roof. Our moniker, ZDT's, pays homage to the three children of the park's owners: Zac, Danielle, and Tiffany—a testament to our deep-rooted family values.

Stepping Up the Game
Since our inaugural year, ZDT's has experienced rapid growth. The park welcomed GoKarts just a year after its opening. Over the subsequent two years, we broadened our spectrum of attractions, adding five more. Since then, we've been in a relentless pursuit of expansion and enhancement. By 2010, we debuted our first water ride, the exhilarating Mad Raft Water Coaster!

Defying Gravity with Switchback
Fast forward to today, we boast our most massive attraction—Switchback. This roller coaster, with its one-of-a-kind design tailored specifically for ZDT's, maneuvers thrillingly through and around buildings, offering riders heart-pounding airtime moments, before culminating in a record-breaking Grand Spike.
Saluting Our Roots with Switchback
Switchback, the first of its kind modern wooden shuttle coaster, traces its name back to an 1884 ride regarded as America's first roller coaster—the Switchback Railway. With a speed of just 6 miles per hour, this iconic ride marked the genesis of amusement entertainment.
A Nod to the Past
At ZDT's, we value our past as much as our future. The theme of Switchback aligns with the rich history of the park's grounds, which once served as an agricultural and grocery center. Every building within the park has been remodeled from its original purposes, preserving a slice of history while adding an extra layer of fun. For instance, the indoor GoKarts course runs through former grain-processing warehouses, where remnants of the original equipment still hang. Even the walkway to the water park is built over old train tracks, with an original Santa Fe executive train car adding to the historical ambiance.
