Waterpark to slide into Central Texas

Pflugerville
A large waterpark called Blu Bambu is proposed for the southwest corner of Pecan Street and Toll I30 in Pflugerville. It could open as soon as summer 2010 and is expected to attract more than 300,000 visitors annually.

Much larger than Volente Beach Waterpark but smaller than Schlitterbahn, Blu Bambu waterpark will feature a large wave pool, a stage for after-hours and off-season concerts, and action river, a longer lazy river, eight to 10 large water slides, activity areas for young children, sand volleyball courts and covered pavillions.

Texas-based entrepreneurs Jim Brisco and Steve Hanvey plan to begin construction on the $16 million project in November and hope to open the waterpark in May 2010. The project timeline is still being finalized.
