New Schlitterbahn water slide opening postponed again

The Verruckt, a new water slide at Schlitterbahn, will not open as scheduled on Sunday, June 29, according to an announcement tonight by Schlitterbahn officials.

The ride is billed as the “world’s tallest” water slide at 168 feet 7 inches, after being measured by Guinness Records earlier this year.

Schlitterbahn officials recently said the delay earlier this week was caused by a problem with the conveyor system.

The opening is expected to be announced later.
