Schlitterbahn, Galveston, TX, USA - The island of Galveston, Texas is about to get soaked. That's because plans are now officially in place to bring a $30 million indoor and outdoor waterpark.

Schlitterbahn, which already operates waterparks at two locations in Texas, promises their third to be one of the most state-of-the-art in the country.

The indoor portion of the waterpark will be housed in a former aviation hanger, making possible an annual operating schedule of up to 200 days.

May of 2005 is the anticipated opening date for the new waterpark.
