Editorial Review for Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This popular central Texas water park with speedy body and inner-tube slides, dark tunnels, a wave pool and a huge swimming pool, is packed with smiling faces. Families float through swirls, dips and waves, through rocky pools that look just like--and in some places are--the real thing. Adventurous types enjoy thrill rides, like the Master Blaster uphill water coaster or the Torrent, a "hyper-action river." A younger crowd hangs in the many kiddie areas.

I drove from Houston to go to the "#1 waterpark in america." It was like holding a major league baseball game at a smalltown baseball field. Not enough restrooms, parking, ticket tackers, waterslides, resturants, ect.. I had to park at a shuttle run at a nearby baseball field. It took 30 minutes to get on the shuttle! Then there were only 3 ticket-tackers so it took another 30 minutes to get in. If you want to go to the west side it was another long shuttle wait. Yes, the Masterblaster is a 2 1/2 hours wait! The two lazy rivers were the best I'd ever been on but after 3:00 (when the waterpark does their mid-day pass) it become packed with rowdy teenagers. The shuttle back was full of unhappy customers. It's a far cry from America's real #1 waterpark Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells.
Pros: water attractions, you can't find at, other waterparks
Cons: crowds, not enough facilities, disorganized location

My family was at the park for 6 hours and rode 2 rides! The MasterBlaster had a 2 1/2 hour wait, but posted no signs estimating this timeframe...only a sign that said "extended waiting time." After an hour, we thought we had invested too much time to not ride it, but little did we know that was just the start! While the ride was fun, the 2 minutes was not worth the wait. Furthermore, on the other ride of the day, the Raging River Tube shoot, we waited another 1 1/2 hours for the poorest quality ride ever. They packed so many people in that everyone went down it tube-to-tube-to-tube...only separating on the small drops. Horrible!!! Unless you plan to make it when no one else wants to go, expect LONG lines, and poor quality rides. This park really needs to assess the crowd control problem...
Pros: What pros???
Cons: Long Lines (2+hrs), Packed tube rides, Too many people!!!
