Doug McLean called us up last week to see if we wanted to join him and Luca for a day of fun and sun in New Braunfels. They came by yesterday morning with picnic food already prepared and we were off.
We had a great time...though it would have been tons better if Stepan hadn't decided to get stuffy nosed in the morning! And amazingly enough none of us got sunburned. Most of the lines were of course outrageously long, but they were all fairly shaded and we were able to entertain ourselves through most of them. The absolute worst line was the last one we stood in. It was for Wolf Pack. It launches from the top of a tower and shares it's platform with the Master Blaster. The problem is that both attractions require rafts that are sent up via the same conveyor belt and they had far too few rafts for the Wolf Pack in circulation. The ride was fun but it was definitely not worth the wait.
A couple of great things about Schlitterbaun: there are lots of activities available that don't entail standing in line (we especially enjoyed The Torrent Wave River, you are allowed to bring in a cooler with your own food and drinks, and Splash Cash which is waterproof wristbands with tabs in several denominations for use in purchasing food, beverages, and souvenirs without dealing with soggy money.
