Schlitterbahn Galveston to honor NASA by adding space-themed water slides

Water park officials say the interior of each slide delivers a unique experience.

GALVESTON, Texas — Schlitterbahn is adding space-themed slides to the Galveston water park this summer to honor NASA and the Johnson Space Center.

Infinity Racers opens in June. It features a pair of space-themed, racing head-first mat slides. They're eight stories tall and as long as two space stations, according to Schlitterbahn.

Water park officials say the interior of each slide delivers a unique experience. 

One of the slides, named Orbiter, features circles of multi-colored fiberglass in different sections of the ride.

The other slide, Galaxy, features dashes of multi-colored fiberglass. 

The water slide will open in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing.
