Editorial Review for Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark – by Maura York
Overview
The tropical-flavored spin-off of the legendary waterpark in New Braunfels, Texas, saturates the senses with innovative rides, slides, pools and gadgets laid out over 26 Gulf Coast acres. Fun-seeking families and teenagers on brightly colored inner tubes float and splash through more than a dozen attractions, "ranging from mild to wild," in a user-friendly environment with good and safety-conscious service.
Features
The Rio Aventura, a river running through the park's center, carries patrons (a blessed alternative to the typical required hiking) to calm, simulated beaches or logic-defying water coasters. Enclosed slides bridge some pools, and a surf machine allows the brave to hang ten. A five-story sand castle with tunnels and games caters to the younger set, while the wave pool pleases just about everyone. A gift shop, giant hot tub, swim-up bar and several better-than-average food options are perfect for break time.
