Attractions

It's a tube ride and thrill slide in one! Twin four-story-high tunnel slides you ride on an inner tube. Twin, translucent slides tower above Schlitterbahn West marking the start of the Banzai Pipeline. Riders bring their inner tubes to the top of the tower and get a brief bird eye's view of the park before dropping into one of two tunnel slides. Then it's nearly 600 feet of twisting fiberglass as riders bank through turns and spiral through drops before splashing down into a pool four stories below the start. 


The Black Knight plunges riders into eerie darkness on two-person inflatable tubes. Two black fiberglass tunnels begin six stories up Blastenhoff Tower. From there riders speed down over 550 feet of totally enclosed black tunnel, negotiating twists and drops in the dark! You're not afraid of the dark, are you?


An endless moving mountain of water with all the excitement of ocean surfing. Surfers use our body boards to test their skill against 50,000 gallons of water a minute.

Professional surfers from all over the world have challenged the Boogie Bahn, the first surfing ride anywhere. But you don't have to be a pro to surf at Schlitterbahn. Just grab a bodyboard and try it for yourself. You might not get the hang of it at first, but be careful, when you do you might just get hooked! 

Some locals who had never surfed before Schlitterbahn opened the Boogie Bahn are now among the best in the world. And while you might not become that good, it's an experience you'll never forget. You lie on your body board and slide down onto the wave surface. Although 50,000 gallons of water flow across the surface, the water depth is just a matter of inches. Beneath the sheet of water is a foam covered surface to ease the occasional "wipe-out."

The basic concept of The Boogie Bahn is a rapidly moving sheet of water rushing across a wave-shaped surface. The job of the surfer is to maneuver and maintain control on this surface. While amateurs and aficionados alike surf the Boogie Bahn every day during the summer, professional surfers challenge the wave during special competitions. Then the flow rate is doubled creating a curling wave that takes special skill to master. 


Reaching from the Congo River, through the resort area of Schlitterbahn West, and all the way to the Comal River, the Comal Express Tube Chute is the park's second longest tube chute. Riders begin their ride near the Congo River and for a while, float leisurely along. All that changes as they hear the thunder of a waterfall and see the channel disappear down a steep falls into a dark tunnel. At this point the Comal Express actually travels beneath the road leading into the resort. The tube chute then wraps through the resort grounds until finally reaching another waterfall which drops riders to the level of the Comal River itself. A slow leisurely float in this pristine natural environment concludes the experience.

Tubers twist through a swift moving canyon wild with waves. This serpentine river also connects to The Falls offering a “choose your own adventure” never-ending water ride.
