Win $500?

Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark, Galveston Island Texas

Dynowatt Partners with Schlitterbahn Waterparks to Offer Facebook Fans a Chance to Win Prizes Including Visa Gift Cards and Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Indoor Waterpark Packages.

Dynowatt, an independent provider of electricity and green power, is reaching out to customers new and old through Facebook, the popular social networking site. By becoming a Facebook Fan of Dynowatt (powered by Accent Energy), energy consumers can read conservation tips and receive information about the company’s services. Even better, Dynowatt has partnered with Schlitterbahn Waterparks, a leader in family water entertainment, to offer great giveaways as an incentive to become a Fan of Dynowatt.

When you sign up as a Dynowatt Fan between November 2, 2009 and December 4, 2009, you’re entered in a random drawing to win the grand prize: a $500 Visa gift card. In addition, four more lucky Facebook Fans of Dynowatt will win a Schlitterbahn Indoor Waterpark Package. This package provides a family of four with all-day passes to Schlitterbahn’s indoor Galveston Island Waterpark, along with four meal tickets and $50 Splash Cash. (Cash value of $193.) During their free day of fun, the winners will enjoy the slides and pools of the 2008 Golden Ticket Award winner for best indoor waterpark in the world.
But that’s not all. For every 1,000 Facebook Fans added during the prize period (up to 5,000), Dynowatt will give away an additional Schlitterbahn Indoor Waterpark prize. These fortunate Fans will receive a four-pack of all-day indoor water park passes. (Cash value of $111.)
If Dynowatt Fans really get the word out and bring in a total of 5,000 additional Facebook fans during the prize period, the company will give away another $500 Visa gift card. As more people sign up, more people will have the chance to win prizes. (See official rules below for more details. Giveaway restricted to Texas residents who are at least 18 years of age.)
The chance to win a prize isn’t the only reason to become a Dynowatt Fan on Facebook. From time to time, the company will post energy conservation tips that will help you stretch your energy dollar even further. Additionally, being a fan lets you contact company representatives with just a few keystrokes. If you’re not already a Dynowatt customer, you will find valuable information about Dynowatt to help you make the switch.
So get the word out to your friends and family; as Dynowatt earns more Facebook Fans, more Texas families will have the chance to win a free trip to Schlitterbahn’s indoor Galveston Island Waterpark. Others will also have a chance at a $500 Visa gift card. Lower utility bills and free fun at the world’s best year-round indoor water slides: what a great combination!
Texas business or residential customers interested in exploring their electricity options can get more information by visiting http://www.dynowatt.com/.

Have a great day,

Christmas Countdown!

Schlitterbahn's Hill Country Christmas - New Braunfels, TX

We are just over two weeks away from opening our second annual Christmas event. I can not even begin to tell you of all the changes we've made since last year's event... and even all of the new attractions we've added since our announcement early this fall. For additional updates please become a friend to our Schlitterbahn facebook pages... under Schlitterbahn and Jeffrey Siebert (me). Lots of new photos are going to be updated daily.

Today one of two large chillers arrived on property. These will be used in concert to refrigerate the coolant to 5-degrees before circulating through the skating rink to keep the ice frozen... even during those 80-degree winter days. Did I mention that our rink this year is the largest outdoor ice skating rink in Texas measuring a gigantic 60 x 120 feet in size!

1st chiller arrives on site... number two is on the way!


Have a great day,
Jeffrey

The Skyline of Village West is Changing...

This past weekend was one of the most popular times to visit the Village West area in Kansas City, Kansas. This is the area in Wyandotte County that Schlitterbahn Vacation Village calls home. The Kansas Speedway hosted NASCAR's Price Chopper 400 presented by Kraft this weekend, and thousands of visitors from across the country traveled to see the races.
Even more exciting was the obvious change to the skyline that race goers viewed while in the stands. Guests could clearly see the Storm Blaster uphill water coaster, Bahnzai Pipeline, Wolfpack and Black Knight tube slides!
To many, this was their first view of the new Schlitterbahn in Kansas City. To us, it was a way of saying, "hello, we are here!" to thousands of new faces. Did you see me waving? We hope you enjoyed the race and we look forward to seeing you at the waterpark next summer!
