Visiting families will be thrilled with the unveiling of Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort’s latest blockbuster sensation, the Congo River Expedition, a multi-sensory jungle adventure scheduled to open for an exclusive media preview on Saturday, May 23 and to the general public on Sunday, May 24.

Deep in the heart of the rainforest guests discover an ancient river teeming with wild animals, restless natives, thundering waterfalls and a mysterious underground diamond mine.

“We are thrilled to unveil the most elaborately themed attraction in our 30-year history on Memorial Day weekend,” explained Darren Hill, Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort’s general manager. “Not only do we feel that this is the most exciting new attraction to open this year in Texas, but we are also proud to premier our new family adventure as part of our 30th anniversary celebration.”

The Congo River Expedition is a completely immersive adventure and guests of all ages are welcome to ride, but beware, certain aspects of the jungle may be too scary for younger children. Please visit www.schlitterbahn.com for more Congo River Expedition attraction and opening event information.
