Schlitterbahn East

Schlitterbahn East is sub-divided into two themed areas; Surfenburg, built in 1991, and Blastenhoff, built in 1996. In 1994, Schlitterbahn opened the first uphill water ride, known as the Dragon Blaster (at the time). Since then, several other uphill water coasters have been added, as well as the Master Blaster and the now removed Family Blaster. The Master Blaster has been voted as the best water ride in the world by several travel publications and was mentioned on the Travel Channel as such. Blastenhoff is home to the large Tower-like structure that houses the Black Knight, Wolf Pack, and the Master Blaster. It is located on a central island that is surrounded by a tidal wave river known as the Torrent.

In addition to these water coasters, the New Braunfels park now boasts over 3 miles (5 km) of inner tube rides, 7 water playgrounds for children, 17 water slides, 9 tube chutes, and the world's first surfing machine (Boogie Bahn, which is used by both professionals and casual visitors).

    Biography is a very definite region bounded on the north by history, on the south by fiction, on the east by obituary, and on the west by tedium.
