If your family is already counting down the days until summer, the "World’s Best Waterpark" just gave you a major reason to head to the Texas Hill Country. On Thursday, March 5, Schlitterbahn New Braunfels pulled back the curtain on its newest thrill: Wasserbahn Racers, a high-speed, face-first mat racing attraction set to debut this May.
Designed by the pros at WhiteWater, this isn't just your average slide. The three-lane racer is built directly into the park’s iconic natural hillside near the Comal River, using the sloping terrain to send riders sprinting down nearly 280 feet of dips and chutes.
“Wasserbahn Racers will be a highlight of a big year for Schlitterbahn New Braunfels,” said Justin Loehr, park manager. “Generations of families have built memories here, and the park is excited to introduce an all-new attraction while continuing to enhance classic favorites across the property.”

View this post on InstagramWhat sets this apart from other water attractions? It is officially the only mat racing ride in Texas featuring a real-time stopwatch clock at the finish line. That means you won't just have to guess who won—you'll see the exact results the moment you hit the signature Schlitterbahn splashdown, giving you instant bragging rights for the rest of the day.

Clocking in at top speeds of over 24 mph, the ride offers sweeping views of the Hill Country as you race toward the finish. But the new coaster isn't the only update coming to the 70-acre resort. The 2026 season—which kicks off on May 2—will also bring a wave of enhancements to the park's classic areas, including the resorts, the Pirate Ship at Surfenburg, and the beloved Blastenhoff Tower.
For those looking to make a summer of it, the 2026 Season Pass ($95) now includes a massive "Texas-sized" perk: unlimited visits to both Schlitterbahn locations plus admission to all Six Flags theme parks and Hurricane Harbor waterparks across the state.
Whether you’re a lifelong "Bahn" fan or a first-timer, one thing is certain: the race for the fastest time in New Braunfels is officially on.
