Yup. All 11.5 pounds of her. Belle has white on her belly. Also, she's not fat.

That looks awesome!!!
The first Schlitterbahn opened in '79.
They now have various parks. The one in New Braunfells (the first) has an east and a west section that you shuttle back and forth to and from.
They introduced the first water coaster technology...Dragon Blaster, then Master Blaster.
'Smore pics...!

And, it's part resort, too...!

Wow.. so cool that the resort is right there!! I’m going to have to check if this place is close enough for a long weekend road trip.
The only water coaster we have been on is at Great Wolf Lodge (bad photo below). We just kept going on over and over.. we got up early and literally rushed straight to that slide to beat the crowds.lol.
The slides going outside was really only neat- from the outside ha ha. You couldn’t tell you were outdoors when on them.
Super Bonus- It’s next to our favorite amusement park.
Here’s the first time kiddo went on the Pipeline Paradise.. he had just turned 5 years old.
Poor guy wiped out so hard!!!!! The water flipped him around more times than I could count. However, the crowd all cheered for him and gave him high fives when he came out.. I think it saved him from crying. He went right back to do it again!
Can you see him?

Where is the pipeline? We need to make a KI trip this summer and we are just venturing into water parks.

Soak City at Kings Island!
We love it.
There’s another water park almost across the street, called The Beach, we’ve only been there once, and that was for tubing in the winter..so I can’t rate their waterslides.

Dang she is cute though. I can see why your Dad just has to love her.
BTW-love that backpack!

How to know when your RiverWalk is actually receding and coming closer to not being one in the same with the river????
When the 2 geese are standing on the RiverWalkway (which gives the illusion that they are standing on water)
and you can now see half of their legs! Funny by day, kinda creepity by night.

@Sillysidewalker , when is the last time you’ve been to KI? They’ve added quite a few rides to Planet Snoopy in the last couple of years, and also a petting zoo.
Soak City is also great for all ages.. they’ve added a few more kiddie areas, as well as the new drop slide/tube slide platform.
Seriously, I should be on Kings Island’s marketing payroll.

There is a GWL in Grapevine, Texas just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Have never been, but, those places look pretty awesome...!!!
Cool!
Besides Schlitterbahn, we have SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas down the road!
Sorry the little dude had a bit of a rough ride!
It's been years since I've been on it, but, I did OK when I was! That's also another technology that was introduced at Schlitterbahn...!
Ohhh, the Schlitterbahn memories...!!!!!!!
Go to History and just past the first pic...!

GWL was amazing.. especially their interactive ‘MagiQuest’ game. I’m hoping that we can go back during Slring Break again this year, but I think sports may prevent that. Definitely recommend a visit
Thanks for posting the Wikipedia link. That was really interesting, I had no idea. Why don’t we have a FlowBarrel in America?!?!? Or at least not close to me! I would be there in a heartbeat.
Sounds like you have great memories at a great park!

Where do you live? We have that here near Cincinnati. Although, I always get annoyed with the tubers while we’re kayaking.

I grew up with aluminum cans and plastic lined steel cans. If found to be true the damage is done.
When we moved out here we moved to a city well water system. Never drank the stuff, never cooked with the stuff. We have long ago gone into a consortium for non-well water. Amen. Still some of these buildings are older than dirt including my DD apartment building. Remember lead pipes? Well I have little doubt.

Well, It broke records on both Mexico and China.
And did vastly better than Tangled. More than moana by a small margin but way less than others.

And I am old enough to remember when the tip was built into the disney dining plan, good for my wallet, service well it was pretty spotty there once they found out you were on the dining plan.
But what does concern me is this trend of converting QS venues into a table service. A few places pulled it off OK but unless they kinda gut the venue this one isn't a table service worthy. And what the heck? Disney has never been able to really pull off authentic Italian. One at Epcot (not Disney operated), very mixed reviews about Mommas (I go for the steak because of that) at the Studios and even now the same mixed reviews of the Edison venues after the bloggers had their invite meals.
Great Italian Chef's are not hard to come by. What the heck? My fear for Pinocchio's is what their staff is going to be able to pull off after QS lunch to TS dinner. BOG couldn't pull off TS dinner well or consistently as a TS so now it is going to be a Signature???
I have no doubt. We all have read on the forums here and there that the majority of the mac & cheese at QS and on hotdogs has been Stouffers for years and years. Stoffers has massive industrial trays that school and many hospitals use many of which use Gordon Foods for ordering and delivery of it. It's not like we thought Casey's was custom making the Mac for their gourmet hotdogs.

Ha! You could start blogging and have them be your paid sponsor. We went summer 2016. It was a rainy day so we ended up only getting about 2 hours ride time. I have Thursdays off so I was hoping to try and go some Thursday this summer to limit our wait times.
