In 2024, Schlitterbahn New Braunfels will continue its tradition of premiering first-of-its- kind attractions by adding Bow Wow Blaster, the world’s first water coaster for kids. The new water coaster will be part of Schatze’s Storybrook Park, an all-new kids’ area which will include water slides, 70+ interactive water features, spray toys, splash pads and a 1,200-gallon tipping water bucket.
“Schlitterbahn has always been known as a place where families come together to have fun, make memories and stay cool during the hot summer months,” said Darren Hill, vice president and general manager of Schlitterbahn Water Parks and Resorts. “We are known as a waterpark that introduces first-of-its-kind attractions, and with the addition of the world’s first water coaster for kids and Schatze’s Storybrook Park in 2024, the tradition of families making lifelong memories in New Braunfels will continue for many years to come.”
Schatze’s Storybrook Park will be located in the original section of the park. Named after Texas’s famous short-legged pup and Schlitterbahn mascot, Schatze, the reimagined area transforms everyone’s favorite fairy tales into puppy-themed fairy “tails.”
The new kids’ area will be home to Bow Wow Blaster, the world’s first kids’ water coaster, a pint-sized take on Schlitterbahn’s famous Master Blaster. Kids 12 and under will enjoy all-new water slides, 70+ interactive water features and spray toys, splash pads, and a ginormous, 1,200-gallon tipping water bucket. Guests also will also enjoy new shaded areas that offer plenty of room to relax.
Storybrook Park is divided into three storybook themed lands: Fur-Bidden Forest, Schatze’s Paw’nd and Fairy Tail Trail. Sidewalks connect the three areas like a babbling brook—a “storybrook”— that cascades through an enchanted land. Children will enjoy Schatze’s “wacky, watery” take on classic storybooks, including Little Red Riding Hound, Houndsel and Petzel, Rapawnzel and the Three Little Pugs.
