First time I went was 1986 . Such a beautiful , incredible park. Not to mention free parking and you can bring your own food.

[@kaylynnbarham7648]

I wish you would’ve gone on the lazy river with waves! That’s one of my favorite things there, it’s the one underneath the mater blaster!

[@CoasterRanger]

Right, I forget to ride that when I had the action camera with me.

[@toniebaloney9838]

when i went i stayed there for like two hours. almost died twice 😂😂

[@FrankHorigan]

Yeah I’ve almost gone Under the waves more than once

[@sarahjohnson4611]

I haven’t been there in years last time I went there I must’ve been between 8-10 I’m 13 now

[@gl0wcat]

One of the best things in the park

[@coastercraziness]

Gone here three times and I love it! This was my first major water park and probably my only. My favorite ride is either Master Blaster or Dragon’s Revenge. I also love the surf simulator.

[@FoldedPlayer]

It’s weird to see this because I come here every day of the summer cause I live in new branfuels

Im so used to this park that every other park seems so tiny

[@chrismoran4901]

Nice job Ranger! I will definitely be going as I live in Dallas and it's only a 4 1/2 hour drive. Cannot wait!

[@tranewreck123]

Oh and btw, on some tube rides, you end up getting stuck because the current is on one side and you go over lil bumps and you go back. might want to get up and move yourself manually. and pick up your butt because you might hit it on low floors and might scrape it

[@southernbelle1756]

I like how they have season passes. Oh and I recommend if you visit new Braunfels tx that you go tubing. It really relaxing.

[@littlevega4883]

Omg...I lived in New Braunfels Texas. It was awesome. I remember going to Schlitterbahn. I remember that my favorite part was the pirate ship. I loved the lazy river, but the big gushers that shot water kinda scared me. The black night took forever, and I wound up bailing when I got to the top. New Braunfels was my home. Unfortunately, we moved away from Texas to the middle of the country. I recommend the Dragons one. It's been a while since Texas, but I remember there being a dragon ride.

[@flythrive6633]

Love the tour and the mention of two parks in one!!

[@bozimmerman]

Thanks SO much for this video! I used to go to Schlitterbaun in the early 80s, when it was down the street from Bavarian Village, and right next to Landa Park resorts. The only rides were four chute rides down out of a tall tower, which you rode on slick mats, and a single tube ride, which the video shows exiting into the giant pool. Back then, that pool was a uniform 15 feet deep, and I was not a strong swimmer, so it always scared the crap out of me to tumble into that pool. They've obviously filled it in. The hot-tub area with the bar was also added early on.

[@bozimmerman]

Oh, P.S. You mentioned the exit from the tube ride to the Comal being closed. That made me laugh so hard. Dude, the "hillside" tube ride exit into the Comal was closed in the early 80s when I was going there. I think it's *always* been closed, and they just never put up a permanent barricade.

[@CoasterRanger]

@@bozimmerman Thanks for watching. Hillside exits into the large pool. Raging River is the one that dumps into the Comal. I have taken this plunge into and down the Comal more than once, and others on this thread have stated that it re-opened later that summer (2019).

[@christyclasgens9849]

Thanks for posting this! My boyfriend and I are going on July 4th! Super helpful!!!

[@CoasterRanger]

Sure! Have fun!

[@tarawalker7193]

In my backyard! Love it!

[@Emerly808]

I love schlitterbahn i always go there every summer my favourite part its the waves its not like other water parks waves its much bigger and much funner

[@Jordylovesyou1]

My fiancé and I are going next week for the first time!! We didn’t know what to expect so this really helped a lot!!

[@HYDRAdude]

This park, Splash town, and Volcano Bay in Orlando are the top 3 water parks in the country in my experience.

[@CoasterRanger]

Which Splashtown do you speak of? I haven't done Volcano Bay yet.

[@marylopez3767]

No more Splashtown.

[@HYDRAdude]

@@AmtrakProductions How do you know I haven't been to all the water parks? Cope.

[@tranewreck123]

went here 4 times this summer, really fun and i still have rides to get on. i'd recommend going on a weekday because lines are very large on weekends

[@atlasthecorgi4659]

Thanks for actually explaining the park

[@brendaelrod6261]

Yeiiiiii I live here in New Braunfels, TX!!! A beautiful place to be!!

[@wnh217]

Going to San Antonio next month and was on the fence, after seeing this, I must go!

[@coastercraziness]

Nathan I just got back from San Antonio yesterday. Definitely check out SFFT (Fiesta Texas) if you can and SWSA. I haven’t made it to SWSA yet.

[@LegendaryFrxst_Drxgon]

CoasterCraziness I love them both I live in San Antonio so I’m familiar with these parks

[@Melissa2087]

wow I wanna go there just for that dragon!

[@southernbelle1756]

The dragon's revenge. Ya it fun but the line is sooo long .and there's a lot of bumps so you will possibly break you back .

[@davidmichael5573]

If the line is started at the bottom when you get to the top line (cuz the line is broke into 2 parts) is a 45 min line to get on the ride. Worth it cuz as you seen you get soaked in line at the top line. So on the nice 100 degree days in TX you stay a little cooled down.

[@theromanbaron]

I live in New Braunfels too!! Heck yeah!

[@xenclan182]

i was there 3 weeks ago. the master blaster is a lot more intense in real life.

[@sfotnews8633]

I feel so bad the Congo River is not open for you it's the best ride they're top-notch theming

[@jayishere5611]

They’re finally open :)

[@traindude70]

[@howrd4236]

now people complain about waterslides being rough? are you serious they not suppose to be butter their waterslides

[@NickyD]

watersides that are rough can be dangrous there not coasters its way diffarent water slides have to be smooth for many reasons

[@marylopez3767]

I love Schlitterbahn. A good day for fun and relaxation.

[@Mattwav]

This place looks amazing!

[@Blah1195]

Awesome review !

[@kuruhatas]

Went to Schlitterbahn this week and it doesn't seem like Cedar Fair has changed too much thankfully. The tube chute that empties into the Comal river is still technically operable but it requires a lot of staff so they usually keep it closed. I was fortunate enough to experience it opened last year and I really think they should prioritize keeping it open as it was my favorite part of the day. I do also think they are somewhat limiting capacity on the chutes, as I didn't see anything remotely similar to what was shown at 17:35, and I went on a very busy day.

[@ST-ov8cm]

If some people wonder why the water looks dirty on some of the rides, it's because the original rides used water which was pumped from the river and returned to the river.

[@derricklawrence4214]

I love this water park my favorite ride is the surfing one and the torment river

[@Leynaloz]

Omg not gonna lie I work there and this is weird to see 😂

Great video!! My family and I have been going every yr since I was 2 and im 37 now. So we know that park like the bk of our hand loll

[@tayenbliss7522]

I’m going today!!! So happy you made this because I haven’t been since I was very young so I didn’t remember everything lol!!!

[@nevaehives2234]

Tayen Bliss hope you have fun!! I’m goin in 1 week and a half, I have not been there yet bc my mom is strict, it is really fun?

[@tayenbliss7522]

Nevaeh Ives Yes it’s was so fun! I just got back. The lazy river ride are the best because in some parts there are little drops and it’s slashes you around and makes you go fast! The Congo river was open when I went and it was super fun as well. It’s looks boring at first but when you go to the part that’s like a mining theme there’s a huge drop and it’s soooo fun! The only bad thing is you have to wait a long time in the rides. Probably anywhere from 20-30 minutes but it goes by kinda fast for me :)

[@marialacona]

Schlittlebahn is my happy place! 😍

[@cottncorp320]

I live here and wow this is surreal

[@dive3050]

4:32 holy shit do they actually play nirvana at schliterbahn?!

[@quinnisasin9085]

As someone who lives near schliterbahn and has a season pass, yea. They play a lot of different music.

[@adangarcia6584]

You obviously aren't from Texas by starting with the East section. Sometimes we don't even go to the East section. Schlitterbahn is all about the toob chutes on the original park, or west section and it's just paradise.

[@aidsetab806]

Always start with east, the modern fun rides are there and have long lines. Then head over to the west for the thrilling rides

[@ohnomyselfesteemitsbroken3721]

I loved it I went to this one 2 years ago and it was so much fun

[@KingdomFinancialFixer]

looks fantastic

[@candysmith8724]

I am 50 and I grew up going to this park. My fav was the drop into the river at the end of the tube shoot. I hope Cedar Fair does not close that down, it made this water park so unique.

[@MatchTerm]

Wait a second... wasn't this in spy kids 3D or am I wrong?

[@etfrm41]

MatchTerm nah ur wrong .

[@aggieswholovemusic8441]

You’re correct! One of the first scenes of the movie sees the main character Juni meeting with a young Selena Gomez in front of Blastenhoff tower. She hires him to find out why all of the water from the park has gone missing

[@r8myers]

It's been a long time since I seen that movie but pretty sure it was a theme park not a water park

[@schlitterbahnwaterparksand2217]

@@r8myers It was actually filmed here at Schlitterbahn.

I love the lazy river ❤❤❤

[@curiouscornucopia8957]

I worked at Schlitterbahn like over 8 years ago ( the year the Congo river opened) and it was closed a lot back then too. 🙄😂 Good video

[@aidanbarger6937]

Curious Cornucopia not surprised

[@davidmichael5573]

I think it has a lot to do with the river level since it dumps into the Comal. At least that is what someone at the park said to me. Could just be Maintaince issues.

[@curiouscornucopia8957]

@@davidmichael5573 that could be it. I also think since it has animatronics they tend to break down alot. I remember back in the day they kept shutting it down for that. Not to mention people stealing things from the ride.

Went for 1st time in July, 2022. Best. DAY. Ever at a Waterpark. Hands down. 🙂👍🏼💖

[@Grod2161]

Sucks that the Congo river wasn’t open. That one is so much fun and the end puts you in the actual river.

The river bits are hit or miss sometimes due to staffing, but it's great when they are open

[@bananapudding1147]

I live in New Braunfels!!!! I always get season passes! 3:38 I do also recommend riding with another rider especially if you are particularly small, last time I rode I weighed to little and got stuck in the ride

[@mitchellries256]

I want to get to this waterpark more than any other.

[@coastercraziness]

Mitchell Ries It’s pretty big. I’ve been a couple of times and it’s amazing! If they could use any slides, it would be a drop slide and maybe another body slide or two. I don’t remember there being any of those. Also I only got to go to the East side. I was not allowed to go to the West side as these were all for school trips.

[@mitchellries256]

One question. Do you think everything in this park can be done in one day or do you think I might require another day to experience everything?

was there 24 years ago and had a ball. im 62 now . can all this excitement still be safe for a senior citizen? I love the lazy river best. its like white water rafting

[@IntheLoopPodcast]

I think whether it it is safe for a senior citizen would vary from person to person

[@adrien6197]

I worked there and I met a man that was around 60 with his grand daughter so I assume your probably good, I wouldn’t recommend any of the big slides tho

[@joel49er]

I just went yesterday to Schlitterbahn and a lot of these rides I didn’t see especially on the Blastenhoff side. I usually see the surf ride but didn’t see it this year. Some rides in the main park that I loved to ride were under construction or disassembled never to be seen again. I hope that’s not the case with what you said about new ownership.

They did make there own water slides tubes,etc..at a nearby company named NBG which the Henrie family owned ..well when they owned schlitterbahn...but now that company is now defunct..(NBG)That being said I believe cedar fair is ordering everything..I could be wrong but I'm an employee and that s what I've come to see so far..they are planning on many new concepts but probably not till next year since we're barely coming out the pandemic this season..so I'm guessing next year we will see some new stuff..maybe more peanuts/Snoopy advertising like they have in there other parks..But I will say that I really enjoy working for cedar fair.

[@belle7728]

The last time I went to Schlitterbahn the wave pool was pretty aggressive I would suggest for younger kids to use the tube with a bottom or if a child isn’t very good at swimming to use the tube with the bottom but for the older kids or good swimmers to use a tube without at bottom you can go without a tube but that’s really only for advanced swimmers in my opinion

[@CoasterRanger]

Good info

I was literally there yesterday I’m-
