Schlitterbahn Kansas City

Kansas City, Italy

Schlitterbahn Waterpark Kansas City was a water park in Kansas City, Kansas. It was announced in September 2005 by Schlitterbahn Waterparks and opened on July 15, 2009. It was conceived as a 370-acre (150-hectare) and $750 million development including a nearly 40-acre (16-hectare) waterpark, which

was Schlitterbahn's fourth waterpark and its first outside Texas. Groundbreaking was on September 18, 2007, on the land formerly occupied by the Wyandotte County Fairgrounds and the Unified Government courthouse annex, across Interstate 435 from the Kansas Speedway and Village West. Following a fatal accident on the extremely tall Verrückt water slide in 2016, the park permanently closed on September 3, 2018. In the end, $180 million of work was completed.
