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.
