Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort

07/25/2003 Posted by moonpickles

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!!!

Its a fun place to go for the kids but be ready to walk!! I dont like the fact that there are 3 seperate parks that you have to ride a shuttle to and from. I dont like the hottub/bar at the origional park being so close to children playing in the big pool next to it. I had a hard time keeping my child out of it and it was filled with adults drinking.

Pros: Inexpensive, Close to home

Cons: Crowded, No Rollercoaster

Best place to cool off, labor day least busy time of all. Terrific to take own picnic, float, slide, tube. More fun than anywhere in area and short drive,too. Does need more changing rooms/rest rooms in the newest area-Blastenhoff. Master Blaster is best ride with Black knight a close second.

Pros: location, bring own food

Cons: expensive, need more restrooms, lots of walking

Schlitterbahn is easily the best waterpark I've seen. It was even rated the best by the Travel Channel. It is quite different from the cookie cutter waterparks around most of the country. It uses the Comal River perfectly. One waterslide even dumps you into the river! Also, the master blaster is the most innovative ride I have seen. You actually go UP on a waterslide.

Pros: Beat the heat, Great rides

Cons: Crowded

Schlitterbahn has grown and improved each year we've been going there and we've been going for over 12 years. Always clean; you can bring your own cooler of food and now that they have doubled their size, they've got the best transportation to each area. The staff is well-trained and has a great attitude and, of course, the place is huge and has a great variety of the best water rides in America. You can't do it all in one day anymore and a big plus is their very affordable season pass.

Pros: can bring your own co, free parking, extremely clean
