Schlitterbahn announces Massiv, the world's tallest water coaster

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

As Schlitterbahn Waterpark gets ready to celebrate 10 years in Galveston, the company has announced the construction of the world's tallest water coaster on the island. Called MASSIV, the German word for "massive," the water coaster remains a bit of a mystery since its opening day has not been set and its exact height won't be announced until spring, the company said Wednesday in a news release.

" Called MASSIV, the German word for "massive,"...

The amusement park rises bold and stark..kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

Well yeah....and the slide has a larger vertical displacement and a presumably higher speed as a result.
