This year the Schlitterbahn waterpark announced that the world’s largest waterslide will be open all season long.
“We hire over 600 people from high school kids to people who are retired to help man the park. We still have free parking and if you want you can always bring your lunch in a cooler and we even offer free, so it’s at no additional cost. The food is reasonably priced, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg,” said Jeff Hays, director of marketing and sales. “And this year it is even bigger and better than years before.”
On Tuesday, Jill Espinoza was a newcomer to the park who attends Bishop Ward High School.
“I can’t wait to try that large slide, it really looks fun and exciting. This is my first time,” she said.
Her sister Riley Espinoza, is a graduate of Bishop Ward High School and a veteran of the waterslide.
“I can’t wait to try this year; it is really fun and exciting,” Riley said.
Kara Evans, a sophomore at Piper High School, is also a veteran.
“I am really excited. I can’t wait to try it again, it is so much fun. I really like it here, the people are great and there’s so much to do,” Kara said.
What a better place to spend those hot summer days. The Schlitterbahn waterpark in Kansas City, Kan., is for the whole family.
