In its first expansion project outside of Texas, waterpark giant Schlitterbahn will build its fourth resort complex on a 370-acre site in Kansas City, Kan. With an estimated cost of $750 milllion, the village will be one of world's largest tubing parks with miles of interconnected rivers and such attractions as the Master Blaster, a six-story uphill water coaster.

The year-round resort, located just east of Kansas Speedway, will feature 1,800 hotel rooms, including waterfront cabins and "treehaus" accommodations. Plans also include a mile-long River Walk with destination shopping, dining and entertainment options in a covered, year-round environment. A large interactive marine park will feature saltwater lagoons for snorkeling, helmet diving and touch pools.

The park's entertainment venues will be connected by a state-of-the-art Transportainment River System. A fusion of transportation, sport and entertainment, the system of manmade rivers will carry guests between lodging units and attractions.

Construction began in 2007 and will end in 2009.

Schlitterbahn currently operates water parks in New Braunfels, South Padre Island and Galveston Island, Tex. (www.schlitterbahn.com)
