The weekend (Part 2).. A trip to Schlitterbahn

A little tired now... so cant recall as well as I would have a few days ago...

The 3rd day of our weekend is a trip to world famous... (actually just famous in the States... but somehow they always like to think that USA is THE WORLD... pardon their ignorance..) Water Theme Park.... Voted best water theme park for 5 years in a row (i wonder where the judges are from)... SCHLITTERBAHN- New Braunfels...

Backgrd: New Braunfels is a City that is 30-45mins away from San Antonio which we were based. Due to its sheer size, the park is located in this place, not too far from SA. The park is divided into East and West, I think it is due to its expansion from its original park....

Anyway... it is a water theme park of many exhilarating rides.... many of these rides, especially the renowned MASTER BLASTER are fun and exciting... and probably wont be seen in Singapore.

After having experience the thrill of Six Flags Fiesta the day before.... we were ready for even more great adventure..... And as we have expected from this great park, everything was here... while it did not have the adrenaline rush of the roller coasters from previous day, it was fun filling in its own way. The best thing about the rides is, it does not make you dizzy, hence we were able to go on and on without having any proper breaks in-between.

We reached the place at 945, right before its opening and 10am... and we did not stop until they stopped all the rides at 745pm. We all were able to enjoy most of the rides and had a super fun day in the sun...

Some of the rides worth mentioning are:

MASTER BLASTER: This is a water ride which has the ability to "blast" you upwards, and was voted the BEST water ride in America many times over. Due to the long lines (otherwise known as queues), we did not waste our time waiting in lines more than once. It was fun and interesting, but nowhere near what I got from SUPERMAN...

Bogie Bahn: This is a man-made surfing ride... it allows us (notice I didnt say we were able) to surf on the "tide" with a surf board... pretty cool.... of coz... i didnt last 2 secs... before i could say "AHHHHHHHHHHH...", I was off my board... what a wuss (as tim would have put it)

Lazy pool... there were several lazy pools around... some are simply for floating purposes, while some has "slides" built in... I tried to slide down backwards as much as I can.. to make the rides more interesting... it resulted in me flipping and hitting the back of my head on one occasion... I suffered more ache in my ego than my head... so all's well...

Overall... we had a wonderful time... I would say better value than Six Flags due to the fact that we were able to do most rides as a whole grp... It's a pity we were not able to take much pictures as we did not have any waterproof cameras...

Totally recommend anyone who visits this region to go for it!

Time for the final part of my trip... a whole different experience...
