Premiers Saturday, June 7, 2008!



New area includes playful fountains, squirting fire hydrants,
spraying park sprinklers, a kid-friendly car wash, pint-sized slides
and a Schatze mascot magical meet n’ greet.

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – There’s a new puppy in town that’s large and in charge. Schatze, Schlitterbahn’s lovable dachshund pup who’s appeared for several seasons on billboards and TV commercials makes his mascot debut this summer in his own area. Schatze has taken over a park complete with a root beer stand, ice cream parlor, car wash and a magical castle that all have been transformed into his own puppy playground.

Attractions include:

Schatze’s Magical Meet n’ Greet
The beloved pup is available for hugs and photos inside a one-of-a-kind magical castle located in the center of Schatze’s Central Park. Schatze is available noon – 5:00 p.m. daily.

Suds & Splash Car Wash
Schatze has taken over the neighborhood car wash and transformed it into a frolicking kid-friendly oasis of fun. This walk-thru car wash features misters, soakers, dangling wiper cloths and blow dryers.

Ice Cream Parlor Slides
Climb into a pint-sized old fashioned ice cream parlor then take a sweet slide down back to the ground

Water Playground
Kids of all ages can splash their way through a variety of the park’s “decorative” fountains. But be cautious, you never know when the park’s fire hydrants and sprinkler system may “accidentally” erupt.

Root Beer Slide
Step into a decorative root beer mug then enjoy a slide as you are poured back to the ground.

 “Schatze’s Central Park perfectly compliments our six additional world-class kids’ areas at the park,” explained Darren Hill, Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort’s general manager. “Not only does Schlitterbahn boast more kid’s areas than any other waterpark in the world, but we are also proud to premier the first kid-friendly car wash attraction.”
