Yesterday I heard that Cedar Park will be getting a Schlitterbahn. I’m thrilled about that, because I love Schlitterbahn, and having one almost in my back yard will be awesome!

Today I hear that Pflugerville is also getting some sort of waterpark. I’m not really complaining, because hey, I’ll have two competing waterparks within mere miles of my house, which can’t be a bad thing, but … we go forever without any sort of amusement park type thing in the Austin area, in by the end of 2011, we’ll have two waterparks within like 15 miles of each other?! When it rains, it pours. I guess we’ll see if there’s going to be enough business to support two waterparks so close together.

Now I am doubly excited! Not one but two! And both within easy driving distance of my house. Finally, something fun to do other than go to listen to live music, hang out in bars, visit museums, shop, or sit around the house moping.

I suspect we will end up buying season passes for one of them, whichever one ends up being the perfect combination of cheapest and coolest. I also imagine that with two of them competing for customers in such close quarters, there may be some good deals on said season passes. Who knows, maybe we’ll end up with season passes to both and spend all our spare time at waterparks getting prune-skin and sunburns.

I can’t wait!!! I love waterparks!

And who knows, maybe that mythical perfect part time job I would like to find might be at one of these parks too. That’d be cool.
