Der Bahn Speed Slides
These triple side-by-side racing body slides send riders from the top of the cliff to the river level below in a spray of flying water. The Der Bahn begins its high speed run high above the Comal River.
Three side-by-side body slides let riders race to the bottom three stories below. Spectators have nearly as much fun as riders, watching the racers splash to the finish. The entrance may be reached from either the upper walkway near the entrance to the Polywog Pond or from the lower walkway next to the Comal River.
