Schlitterbahn Water Parks | Texas
(4 locations)

Schlitterbahn (a made-up word that combines the German words for
“slippery” and “road”) is a collection of water parks primarily located in
Texas that offer a wide variety of attractions. New Braunfels is home to the
Boogie Bahn, a ride where boogie boarders test their surfing skills against
water moving 50,000 gallons of water a minute. The beachfront Padre Island
location features the Schlitterbahn’s innovative Transportainment River
system which is designed to maximize guests’ time in the water and eliminate
lines. It’s a river system that connects eight different water attractions.
The Galveston Island location has been voted as the “World’s Best Indoor
Water Park” for eight straight years. One feature of the Corpus Christi
location is the Aqua Veyer conveyer that eliminates the need for guests to
carry their tubes back up to the highest point of the river so they can come
back down again. Schlitterbahn operates a fifth location in Kansas City,
Kansas.
