What Wonderful Event Caused Schlitterbahn to Stand Still?
We made it back to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels this year. Every Summer for the past 25 years, the Merrell family has made the annual trek to Central Texas. We ve taken our kids when they were still wearing swim diapers, and we continue to go as a family (plus a few others) even as some are in their twenties now. The time we spend at the three properties that make up this New Braunfels waterpark is one of our highlights of the year.
That string of visits was broken last year. COVID reared its ugly head and much of the world shut down or was drastically altered, including Schlitterbahn in 2020. Our Merrell Schlitterbahn streak was no more.

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas - Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is hiring 1,700 seasonal workers for a variety of jobs as it prepares to open for the 2021 season on May 8.
Job opportunities are available in all park operating areas, including lifeguards, housekeepers, food and beverage, security, and more. The park says it is looking for a diverse range of applicants of all ages, including students, retirees, and teachers for example, who are looking for fun summer opportunities.
Nearly a decade ago, Schlitterbahn Corpus Christi was dream come true for many in Corpus Christi, including local officials.
So much so that in May 2012, City Council unanimously approved a $117 million incentive agreement to help the company build the water park on North Padre Island.
The city allocated $5 million of Type A unreserved funds for the park, and roughly $12 million of economic development grants. The economy wasn t doing any good, said Greg Smith, who represents the island on the City Council. And it was way to jumpstart things on the island health tourism now.
However, the water park operated only four years; it opened in 2016 and closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
