Cedar Fair Additions 2024
https://www.schlitterbahn.com/new-braunfels/new-in-2024 Schatze’s Storybrook Park Opening at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels in 2024 is Schatze’s Storybrook Park, an all-new area in the original section of the park. Come see how Texas’s favorite short-legged hound has reimagined everyone’s favorite fairy tales into puppy-themed fairy “tails” gushing with splish-splash fun. Schatze’s Storybrook Park will be home to the world’s first kids’ water coaster, a pint-size take on Schlitterbahn’s famous Master Blaster. Little squirts will have a blast on all-new water slides, 70+ interactive water features and spray toys, splash pads, and a ginormous, 1,200-gallon tipping water bucket. New shaded areas offer plenty of room to relax and rejuvenate. Schlitterbahn’s expanded kids’ area is a collection of three charming worlds: Fur-Bidden Forest, Schatze’s Paw’nd and Fairy Tail Trail. Sidewalks connect the three areas like a babbling brook—a “storybrook”—cascades through an enchanted land. Everyone will giggle at Schatze’s wacky, watery take on classic storybooks, including Little Red Riding Hound, Houndsel and Petzel, Rapawnzel and the Three Little Pugs. For the ulti-mutt in water park fun, high-tail it to Schatze’s Storybrook Park!
