Poll Time! The Case for Typhoon Lagoon vs. Blizzard Beach

My sons were competitive swimmers from the age of 6 through High School (now in their 30s), and I have been and continue to officiate competitive swimming. The last thing any of us wants to see or use when we go to WDW is a swimming pool.

The real best thing about a water park is tube chutes and if you know that it means you’ve been to a Schlitterbahn which are the best water parks in the world with new braunfels the best of them. For a non tube chute water park volcano bay is really good. Disney doesn’t even come close to Volcano Bay by a long shot. I have a desire to go back to Volcano Bay but not really any desire to go back to Disneys water park particularly when I’m an hour away from a 100million times better water park in Schlitterbahn. Tube chutes are the best because they combine lazy river with fast river with tube slides in what can be. 20-30+ min experience. And the ones in Schlitterbahn even have theming on some of their chutes and water roller coasters. Like a pirates of the Caribbean style mist with a dragon on it that you go thru in the water rollercoaster of which they have two water rollercoasters unlike both VB and TL. Tube chutes followed by water rollercoasters are the best water attractions cuz they are long and worth a wait unlike a 15 second slide. So I repeat in case people skipped to the end, come to Schlitterbahn New Braunfels for a water park! Lol

I’ve always wanted to try this but it is nowhere near where I ever have a reason to travel!

I could argue that San Antonio and Austin have a lot to offer families and New Braunfels is smack dab in the middle but I would also never argue that you come here in summer when Schlitterbahn is open lol.
