Schlitterbahn

In honor of Stuart's birthday we took a trip out to Schlitterbahn in KC yesterday (http://www.schlitterbahn.com/kc/construction/default.htm). We had a great time but it was packed. According to some employees we spoke to it was the busiest day so far since they opened. Sam did great (see below). It was a great day to be at the water park, the weather was nice and warm but not scalding.
It was our first time to the Kansas City Schlitterbahn and after the bad press it got when it opened we were not sure what to expect. The park is on the small side now but does have some neat innovative rides, namely the Storm Blaster (water roller coaster) and Torrent River(like a lazy river but with waves to push you along). Looking at the plans and map displayed they have very grand plans for a shopping/dining area in a riverwalk style as well as lots of hotel space. Of course there are also big plans to increase the water park size.
