Our team goes to great lengths to make sure we are offering the best experience imaginable and we take great pride in earning the Golden Ticket distinction,” stated Terri Adams, Schlitterbahn Waterpark’s chief operating officer.  “We love sharing the news with our park team, our community and our guests, especially this year since we’ve achieved this top honor for ten consecutive years.”
