Schlitterbahn Waterpark Now Open

by brian on Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Experience and entirely new way of water world fun with the launch of the new Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City. The first phase of the new Waterpark overflows with 16 signature Schlitterbahn attractions encompassing 24 slides and chutes.

Attractions Include:

  • Bahnzai Pipeline – Climb to the top of a 42-foot-tall tower and take an open-air tube ride down a twisted path of water wrath…BAHN-style.
  • Black Knight – Plunge in a tube down a dark and warped fully-enclosed coiled slide.
  • Blitz Falls Tube Chute – Take a fast-flow river ride over to all the action at Torrent Beach and Torrent River.
  • Comal Express – Clutch onto a mat and ride a downhill channel like a champ! The tight turns and tunnels provide an awesome ride to the splash below.
  • Der Bahn – Dare to enter a claustrophobically-enclosed black tunnel that curves through turn after turn in the dark.
  • Henry’s Hideout Hot Tub Bar – Unwind in a giant hot tub that incorporates a swim-up refreshment bar and in-water seating that creates the perfect place to take a break from all the action.
  • Kinderhaven Kids’ Area – Splash and play in an area designed especially for families with smaller children. This shallow water playground includes ten mini-slides and is separated from the rest of the “big kid” activities by being conveniently located in the center of the park surrounded by shaded seating and open-sun lounging areas. Kinderhaven lets both kids and parents have fun together as they explore the Wyandotte Express choo choo train, a friendly frog, a mammoth turtle and a giant fountain.
  • Kristal Beach – Cool off in the shade along the shore of the Kristal River. This calm beach provides refreshment as riders on the Storm Blaster uphill water coaster fly by overhead.
  • Kristal River – Relax on an endless, slow-flowing river that provides a restful float on those hot summer days in Kansas.
  • Loopy Luge – Grab a mat and get ready for the fastest ride this side of the speedway. This open-air slide provides a thrilling ride through turns and short tunnels all the way to the finish line!
  • Raging River Tube Chute – Ride through an exciting series of rapids and channels.
  • Storm Blaster – Race uphill on a Master Blaster(TM) water coaster, another signature Schlitterbahn attraction. Storm Blaster combines the up and down thrills of a roller coaster with the unique experience of being propelled upward by jets of water.
  • Torrent Beach – Challenge the waves on the best beach in Kansas! Whether guests just want to catch some rays, cool off in the surf, or embark on a journey through the canyon of the Torrent River, Torrent Beach is the perfect spot to enjoy a great day.
  • Torrent Cove – Relax on an island surrounded by the Torrent River and Torrent Beach.
  • Torrent River – Float the world’s longest tidal wave river which combines a continuous, endless float with ocean-sized waves creating an ever changing experience. Guests enter this attraction without waiting in line! The Torrent River is a signature attraction that can only be experienced at Schlitterbahn.
  • Wolfpack – Take a tube and surge through an extra-wide pipeline of wild water. This oversized slide provides an experience that is different every time you ride!

Additional 2009 opening schedule and ticketing information will be announced soon. New retail, lodging and other entertainment elements will be introduced during further phases through 2011.
