Schlitterbahn weathers hurricane Harvey

Schlitterbahn has had four parks impacted by hurricane Harvey. Fortunately, the majority of these parks have weathered the storm.

Both Schlitterbahn New Braunfels and Schlitterbahn South Padre Island waterparks re-opened and the resorts continue to operate. Schlitterbahn Galveston Island has also gotten through the storm with minimal damage. Unfortunately, area flooding and a second wave of storms continued to create significant challenges for both staff and guests who travel to the park. But it, too, re-opened. Schlitterbahn Corpus Christi took the hardest hit from Harvey.

“We are grateful that our staff and parks have weathered the storm,” said Terri Adams, chief operating officer for Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts. “We are pulling together as a team to help our Corpus Christi and Galveston parks, as well as helping our neighbours and staff recover from what Harvey dealt out.”
