Kansas City Forum: Schlitterbahn

No, it hasn't opened and they aren't saying when it will.

Interesting...coworker must have misunderstood so sorry that I gave an incorrect response :(

It was just announced today, (Wednesday July 15) that it has opened today with a special and will officially open tomorrow. For more info see:

kansascity.com/news/…1326772.html

It is opening officially tomorrow, and people can go today for $20 for a two day pass. There was no advance notice and their website is now down, but details are at http://schlitterblogkc.blogspot.com/ The special is only good today - guess this is their way of doing a soft opening.

Their phone (which was not listed on their website when it was up) is (913) 334-5200.

The article on Schlitterbahn in today's Kansas City Star makes it sound like it would be best to wait a few days or weeks to go. The photo with the front end loader parked behind the lifeguard really made the point.

Only 8 of the 13 attractions that they will have this year are open, though more may open as soon as this weekend.

Waterpark is open, but it was a big disappointment. Not many slides/attractions for the price. Little bang for your bucks.

BlueFrog, when did you go?

Phase 1 is open and a HUGE disappointment. My 3 daughters and niece went and said not many rides, long lines, no real pool or beach. If you want a water park in KC Oceans of fun is still much better and CHEAPER.

I went today with 11 and 13 year olds. For the kids there was plenty to do for more than four hours--three water slides, one slow lazy river, one faster and shorter river, one roller coaster like water ride and a hot pool area with a swim up bar. I found plenty of lounge chairs for reading. There were also many shady picnic tables.

I would go back.
