| Schlitterbahn bills The Falls as the “world’s longest waterpark ride” |
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark opened on August 4 its largest development in almost 15 years – a new park area called Tubenbach.
The new Tubenbach area features several new attractions and beaches allowing park guests to enjoy the new rides. Also, several of the Tubenbach attractions are interconnected through an innovative Transportainment™ river allowing tubers to stay in the water and float through the Schlitterbahn East area.
Attractions include:
The Falls – Get ready to challenge the world’s longest waterpark ride filled with raging rapids, careening waterfalls and giant waves. Enter the 3,600 foot-long whitewater Transportainment river at a variety of locations including Blastenhoff, Surfenburg and new beach areas surrounding the River Bend heated pool situated at the far end of Schlitterbahn East. The Falls is a continuous rushing river that also features a ride up the park’s first AquaVeyer℠ (conveyor belt lift hill) back to the beginning of the ride allowing for an endless float.
Deluge Whirlpool River – Tubers twist through a swift moving canyon wild with waves. This serpentine river also connects to The Falls offering a “choose your own adventure” never-ending water ride.
Boogie Bay Heated Pool – A secluded hot spring offers the perfect setting for a beverage of your choice while relaxing in a tropical setting.
