The Torrent - Swimming Pool

About

The Torrent is a signature aquatic attraction located at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels, TX. It is famously known as a 'wave river' or 'aquatic conveyer belt,' combining elements of a traditional lazy river with powerful uphill currents and simulated ocean waves to propel riders through a continuous circuit. It offers a unique experience that blends thrilling rapids with relaxing drifts.

While specific temperatures for The Torrent itself are not publicly provided, Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels generally maintains heated water across its attractions, ensuring comfortable swimming temperatures year-round, typically in the low to mid-80s Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the water park are largely mixed, with several significant criticisms. Negative feedback includes high prices (reported as $189 per person), many closed rides, and unpopular policies such as requiring adults to wear life jackets, leading one reviewer to deem it the 'worst water park.' Other complaints mentioned overcrowding and 'wild' behavior among guests. On the positive side, some visitors enthusiastically called it 'the best place in the world,' and a specific attraction, 'the torrent,' was praised for providing a relaxing lazy river experience with exciting waves. One review also noted that the water park was listed as closed on its website at the time of their check.
