I suspect that Rapids knows that Schlitterbahn will bury them.
Not having been to the Rapids park, I don’t know if it’s any good, or if it’s like Water Country USA that is being run into the ground by Busch Gardens.
Ft. Lauderdale Schlitterbahn is supposed to be TWICE as big as Rapids Waterpark. More importantly, Jeff Henry has promised to use his artistic design skills to make the Ft. Lauderdale Schlitterbahn to be the BEST in the world.
