An 850-Foot Waterslide Is Coming To Texas This Summer And It’s Going To Be Epic
The sweltering summer heat is already beginning to set in, which means it’s time for us Texans to seek out the nearest watering hole. Marble Falls has already come up with a game plan of epic proportions: an 850-foot waterslide. Here for one day only on June 15, it’s an activity the whole family is sure to enjoy.
Right before Father's Day, the first ever urban waterslide in Marble Falls will provide the whole family with a fun, safe opportunity to cool off. While it won't officially be summer quite yet, rest-assured the unrelenting Texas heat will make its presence known.
Clocking in at a whopping 850 feet long, the three-lane behemoth takes riders on a thrilling journey down the intersection of Third and Main. Slide at the same time as two friends or family members, white-knuckling your way to the finish line.
Water splashes up into your face all the while, creating an unforeseen challenge that separates the winners and losers. Blink through it and let the spray instead run down your face, leaving an open line of sight leading to the final destination.
Festivities kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 15 and run until dark, a laser light show ending the night with a bang. Two hours of sliding is just $20 a person, while full day passes go for $40 each.
