Schlitterbahn opened in New Braunfels in 1979 and is now run by Six Flags, with 45 rivers, rides, slides and chutes spread over four sections that are each as large as most regional waterparks. You can ride the Master Blaster uphill water coaster, surf the Boogie Bahn, or float The Falls tubing river. Each section has a swim-up bar, a river and a children's area, and Schatze's Storybrook Park is built for younger kids. The on-site resort offers six styles of lodging.
