Isibuyekezo se-Famous Texas Park
Abavakashi emapaki amaningi amanzi bayazi ukuthi bangalindela: amanye ama-slides amanzi, i-pool echibini, umfula onobucayi, mhlawumbe izikhangisi ezimbalwa ezinjengama-water coaster, nezinye izinsolo ezijwayelekile. U-Schlitterbahn, okwamanje, wenza izinto ezingalindelekile.
Kunesizathu esihle salokho. Liqala ngo-1979 ekuqaleni komkhakha wepaki yamanzi lapho kwakungenakho izivumelwano okumele zilandelwe. Phakathi neminyaka, uye wahlinzeka ngamasu amaningi (kufaka phakathi ukufika kwamanzi), ekhulile ngokwanele, futhi uye wahlanganisa iqoqo elimangalisayo lokugibela ukuze kube yindawo epaki yamanzi eyaziwayo kakhulu eNyakatho Melika kanye nomndeni ozohlala khona ngakwesokudla.
Ulwazi oluphezulu
- Indawo: I-Braunfels entsha, eTexas
- Bheka izithombe zikaSchlitterbahn
- Kunamanye amapaki amanzi eSchlitterbahn
- Inothi elikhethekile: Ngavakashela ipaki ngo-Meyi 2013 ngasekuqaleni kwenkathi ngesikhathi sokusebenza okulinganiselwe. Ayikho ingxenye yokuqala epaki noma izindawo zaseTubenbach ezivulekile. (Nakuba ngifika ukuvakashela lonke indawo yokubhuka.)
Omunye wamapaki Amanzi Ayingqayizivele Namaqhinga
Esinye sezimpawu ezihlukile kunazo zonke zikaSchlitterbahn ubukhulu bayo obukhulu kanye nokuhlelwa kwayo. Futhi ngokugxilonga, ngisho ukuthi ithatha inqwaba enkulu ye-New Braunfels, nokuthi ibhekwa ezindaweni ezimbili. Asikhulumi ngezigaba ezimbili ezihlukanisiwe, mhlawumbe, ngendlela noma umgwaqo. Sikhuluma ngezigaba ezimbili ezihlukaniswe ipaki yomphakathi, indawo yokuhlala, isibhedlela, nokuningi. Izimoto zokuhamba ngezimoto ezihamba phambili zithutha izivakashi phakathi kwalezi zindawo ezimbili.
Ipaki yokuqala, ekhona namanxiwa ezinsuku zayo zakuqala, inikeza okuthakazelisayo kuminyaka eyakhayo yemboni.
Namuhla, abathuthukisi bangakwazi ukuxhumana nabakhiqizi bezinkampani futhi bahlele ama-slides ahlukene nokukhangayo; Kodwa-ke, umndeni kaHenry, abantu abakha uSchlitterbahn futhi bahlala esihlalweni namhlanje, kwadingeka bakwenze njengoba behamba.
Isibonelo, esikhundleni sokwenyuka emoyeni ngemibhoshongo yokusekela, eziningi ze-slide ezithandwayo zisebenzisa amagquma kanye nemvelo yezemvelo yezwe futhi zakhiwe phansi.
Ezinye zazo zikhishwe khonkri esikhundleni seFiberglas esetshenziswa namuhla. Amanzi avela eMfuleni weComal agijima eceleni kwepaki athambisa amanye amaslayidi, futhi abagibeli bawela emfuleni njengengxenye yomnandi.
Kunezindawo eziyisikhombisa ezihamba ngamatayipi endaweni yangempela yedwa kanye nokuhlukunyezwa kwamaslayidi omzimba, amachibi, nezindawo zezingane. Ngokungafani nezindawo ezivulekile, ezivulekile zamapaki amaningi amanzi, le ndawo inamapulangwe amakhulu, ahlelwe kahle, futhi afaka amaphuzu ahle kakhulu kuwo wonke ama-walkways ayo. Ibukeka futhi buzwa yendawo yokuhlanza ehlelekile kahle.
Bathungela ama-Water Coaster
Kubonakala sengathi indawo yangempela (eyinhloko ngokwayo) ayikwazanga ukuqukatha imibono kanye nezinhlelo zikaHenrys. Kusukela ngo-1991, baqala ukwandisa ukuya endaweni entsha edolobheni. Indawo yokuqala yokuthuthukiswa, i-Surfenburg, ihlanganisa iBoogie Bahn, ukuhamba kwe-bodyboarding yasekuqaleni.
Angikaze ngithole i-hang yokugibela amaza okufakelwa ngenkathi ihlezi ebhodini futhi ibukele isivakashi ngemuva kwesimenywa ukusula ngemva kwemizuzwana embalwa yokuzama ukufaka, ngingekho yedwa. Kodwa abagibeli abaningi bayakwazi ukubamba umvuthwandaba futhi babonise amakhono abo nge-aplomb.
I-Boogie Bahn iyinto yokukhanga engokwemvelo eyenziwe emapaki emhlabeni jikelele.
Enye into emisha, i-Dragon Blaster amanzi coaster, yenza i-début yayo eSurfenburg ngonyaka ka-1994. Isebenzisa amajetshi amakhulu amanzi ukuze kuqhutshwe ama-rafts agcwele umkhumbi emanzini nasemaceleni amaconsi afana nama-curves. Njengamanye okukhangayo okuqala, i-Henrys inelungelo lobunikazi lomqondo futhi linikezwa amanye amapaki amanzi. Ungathola ama-coasters amanzi e-Master Blaster ezindaweni eziningi, njenge-Crush 'n' Gusher e-Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon.
Ngonyaka ka-2008, ipaki yavuselela amanzi ayo okuqala. Ukubizela ukubuyisela kwe-Dragon, kufaka phakathi izakhi zokugijima ezimnyama futhi kufaka okuningi kwezingqikithi. Abagibeli bahamba emanzini angama-ankle emgodini ukuze benze indlela yabo yokuya esikhwameni sokulayisha.
Ngithole ukugibela ukuthi kube yindawo ehamba phambili. Ngemva kokuqhuma ekukhuphukeni emgodini, ngakhuphuka ngekhoyili ephikisayo yama-tubes avaliwe nezivulekile. Ngesinye isikhathi, ngigijimela phambili edrako elivuthayo le-orange futhi kamuva ngahlangana nodrako lokuphefumula umlilo olwenziwe esibukweni samanzi. Kukhona ukudonsa okungalindelekile, okweqile ekugcineni kohambo oluhlanganisa izigodlo zokunciphisa ama-rafts phansi.
I-Falls iwumklomelo we-Award-Winning Ride
Ukuhamba okuhle eMfuleni weComal kuhlanganisa iSurfenburg kuya eTubenbach naseBlastenhoff, ezinye izigaba endaweni ekhulisiwe. (Amagama ahlukile ahlonipha ifa elisha laseJalimane le-Braunfels.) Schlitterbahn ihumusha "emgwaqeni ophuthumayo" ngesiJalimane.) Ngenkathi benomhlaba okhangayo, izindawo ezintsha, neqembu lazo ezikhangayo kanye nokuntuleka kwehlathi elinyene, kubonakala sengathi indawo evamile yamanzi kunengxenye yokuqala yase resort.
I-Tubenbach ihlanganisa i-Falls, okuyinto epaki ebiza ngokuthi ukuhamba kwepaki yamanzi kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Umfula onobugovu obunamamitha angu-3600 (non-lazy) uhlanganisa i-AquaVeyer, enye indalo ka-Henry ehambisa amashubhu angaphakathi agibele esiteshini sokulayisha endaweni ephelele. Ku-Schlitterbahn-ukhulume, i-AquaVeyer iyingxenye yendlela yokupaka "ye-transpotainment" yokupaka ukuvumela izivakashi ukuba zizungeze umfula bese zifaka i-Falls ngaphandle kokushiya amashubhu abo.
Isigaba se-Blastenhoff sihlanganisa i-Master Blaster, enye indawo yokukhuphuka kwamanzi. Leli likhuphuka ngamamitha angu-60 emoyeni, futhi lihlanganisa cishe amaphesenti ayishumi okuqhuma kwamanzi e-jet kuyo yonke inkambo yayo ende. Kuyinto encane kunawo wonke amanzi engake ngaya kuwo. Angizange ngibe nesikhathi esithile se- air on the ride, futhi angizange inikeze amaconsi amancane kakhulu, kodwa kwakuyizici futhi kumnandi ngempela. Ngisho ngosuku oluthulile engangikuhambele ngalo, kwakukhona umugqa omude we-Master Blaster, mhlawumbe uhambo oluthandwa kakhulu epaki. Izikhathi zokulinda zingavama amahora amathathu noma ngaphezulu ngosuku olutasa. Cabanga ukufika epaki ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka nokwenza ibhontshisi emanzini amanzi ukuze ugweme izitifiketi zasemini emgqeni omude.
I-Blastenhoff nayo inikeza i-Torrent, uhambo lomfula olwenziwe ukuthi aluvila. Kuhlanganisa ukuqhuma kwamanzi okwenza amagagasi kanye nemifudlana ephuthumayo yabagibeli abangena emathinini awo.
Indawo Yomkhaya Yeqiniso
Ukusabalala phakathi kwezigaba eziningi zepaki kunezingxenye ezingaphezu kuka-250 zamahhotela. Lezi zihlanganisa amakolishi, ama-cottages, ama-bungalows, amakamelo ezindawo zokuqala ze-motel, nama-suites. Izindawo ezikhangayo zamanzi epaki yangempela zakhiwe kulokho okwakujwayele ukubizwa ngokuthi i-Landa Resort, indawo evulekile yohambo olwandle. Amakhamishi amaningi namagumbi okuvuna asele futhi manje awanaki ama-slides nokugibela. Basiza ukunikeza uSchlitterbahn ubuntu bakhe obuhlukile nobuhle. U-Henrys ekuqaleni wakha ama-slides ukuze anikeze izivakashi zokuvakasha okuthile okufanele akwenze. Manje izindawo zokuhlala zivumela izivakashi ukuba zichithe izinsuku ezimbili noma ngaphezulu zihlola futhi zijabulele ipaki enkulu.
Ngahlala kwelinye lamakamelo amasha e-Treehaus endaweni yaseTubenbach. I-studio suite enhle futhi evulekile yayihlanganisa i-kitchenette enobukhulu obusayizi obugcwele, isiqandisisi, nomshini wokuhlambalaza kanye nebhokisi elishaya indiva ipaki yamanzi. Ikhompiyutha ephakeme, ephakeme kakhulu yangikhumbuza isikhwama sezindiza. Amabhodi emabhobho emibhede enhlekazi enziwe indlovukazi yenziwe kusukela eminyango ye-antique ephindwe kabusha - ithinta elihle. Ikamelo lalihlanganisa nebhedi lemibhede kanye nefa lokulala futhi lingakwazi ukulala ezinhlanu (noma ngaphezulu uma izivakashi ziphindwe kabili phezulu emibhede yenkosikazi). Indlu yokugezela yayihle kakhulu, kodwa.
Enye into engiyitholile idabukisayo yayingenandaba nalesi sakhiwo. Ifriji eseduzane, okubonakala sengathi iyigugu lokugcoba, yenza i-racket embi futhi iqhutshwa ngehora-okungenani lapho ngivakashela. Njalo imizuzwana embalwa umsindo wokubhoboza wawugcwalisa umoya. Ngingathanda ukushiya umnyango wokuvula iglasi ovulekile ebusuku, kodwa i-din yenze kube nzima ukulala. Ukuvala umnyango kanye nokuguqula umshini wesistimu yokupholisa futhi umculi ophezulu wancipha umsindo omkhulu owenzayo.
Izivakashi zendawo yokuhlala zivunyelwe ukusebenzisa ezinye zamachibi kanye ne-arcade ngaphakathi kwepaki phakathi kwamahora angaphandle. Ngenxa yalokho, futhi ngenxa yokuthi, ngicabanga ukuthi indawo yokubhuka iyadlula, ayikho isango elungeze le ndawo, futhi kunemizamo emincane eyenziwa izivakashi zokungena ngezindawo ezivikelekile zokungena. Lokho kwangimangaza (futhi ngenezela esimeni esiyingqayizivele nesimnandi). Amalungu abasebenzi aqaphile kakhulu, kodwa, futhi abheke ama-bracelets abonisa ukuthi izivakashi zikhokhele ukufakwa.
Ezinye izici ezihlukile futhi ezamukelekayo zihlanganisa ukupaka mahhala kanye nezilimo eziyizigaxa ezingaphakathi. Futhi, izivakashi zikhululekile ukuletha ukudla kwazo kanye neziphuzo zabo bese zisebenzisa izindawo zokupakisha zepaki. Uphawu lweSchlitterbahn luye lwakhula ngaphesheya kwemvelaphi yalo entsha ye-Braunfels futhi manje luhlanganisa izindawo zokungcebeleka eGalveston naseNingizimu South Padre Island, eTexas kanye neKansas City, Kansas.
Uma uhlela ukuvakashelwa futhi ufuna ukwaziswa okujwayelekile, funda kabanzi ekubukeni kwami kweSchlitterbahn New Braunfels.
Njengoba kuvamile embonini yezokuvakasha, umlobi wanikezwa ngezinsizakalo zokubhalisa ngezinhloso zokubuyekeza. Nakuba engazange ithonye lesi sibuyekezo, le sayithi ikholelwa ukudalulwa ngokugcwele kwazo zonke izingxabano ezingase zenzeke.
