NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is adding the “world’s first water coaster for kids” to its park in 2024.

The water park announced Monday that Bow Wow Blaster, a mini-version of the Master Blaster, will be housed in a new kids’ area called Schatze’s Storybrook Park.

“We are known as a water park that introduces first-of-its-kind attractions, and with the addition of the world’s first water coaster for kids and Schatze’s Storybrook Park in 2024, the tradition of families making lifelong memories in New Braunfels will continue for many years to come,” said Darren Hill, vice president and general manager of Schlitterbahn Water Parks and Resorts, in a news release.

Storybrook Park will have three areas — Fur-Bidden Forest, Schatze’s Paw’nd and Fairy Tail Trail — in the original section of the park.

The new area will be open for kids 12 and younger. It will include water slides, more than 70 water features and spray toys, splash pads and shaded areas.

Schlitterbahn added that there will also be a 1,200-gallon tipping water bucket.

The water park is selling season passes for 2024. For more information, click here.
