Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark opened in 2009. It's located on the western edge of the Kansas City metropolitan area near the intersection of I-70 and I-435. Six new attractions were added for the 2011 season, including Der Bahn Park Slide, Loopy Luge Mat Slide and Comal Express Mat Slide - all of which descend from a 60-foot tall tower. When completed, the "Schlitterbahn Vacation Village" will include 1,100 guest rooms and over 750,000 square feet of retail space.
