Schlitterbahn's water park pioneers are transforming one of their uphill water coasters into a dark ride using a fire-breathing dragon, fog, spinning tunnels, lighting effects, an original score, and other elements. This will be the most sophisticated water park attraction ever built.
Schatze’s Central Park
Geared to younger children, the attraction-packed area will feature an interactive water playground themed to a car wash, a root beer stand, and an ice cream parlor. Schatze, a dachshund puppy, will be available to meet and greet kids as well.
The 65-acre Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort is among the world's biggest, and arguably best, water parks. It is jam-packed with an amazing variety of slides and water rides, including three uphill water coasters (an innovative concept that the Schlitterbahn folks invented), the Boogie Bahn simulated surfing attraction, and The Torrent, a "tidal wave" river that's anything but lazy.
The park features over 40 rides in all, and there are plenty of attractions geared to young children and fun-seekers of all thrill-tolerance levels. Located on the banks of the Comal River, many of the attractions use water from the spring-fed river. A reduced-price two-day pass is geared to water park enthusiasts who may want to sample the many attractions at a more leisurely pace and make a mini-vacation out of their visit. Schlitterbahn offers onsite lodging, and resort guests receive discounted admission to the park.
Its unusual name, Schlitterbahn, means "slippery road" in German, and the park and its attractions incorporate a German theme (a nod to the heritage of the south central Texas area). A few of the slides use the park's signature "Blastenhoff" tower. Pioneers in the industry, the folks who run Schlitterbahn build and sell their unique rides, including the Master Blaster uphill water coaster to other water parks, Playing off of the success of the original park, Schlitterbahn also operates Texas water parks in South Padre Island and Galveston Island.
