Yes, Schlitterbahn (including the New Braunfels and Galveston locations) uses weigh-in procedures for several of its high-intensity water attractions to ensure guest safety and ride structural integrity. For 2026, this is done through "discreet" weight scales located at the entrance or the top of specific slides like the Massiv Monster Blaster. Instead of a digital readout for everyone to see, the scale usually triggers a color-coded light (Green for "Go," Red for "Exceeds Limit") that only the ride operator sees. These limits are set by the ride manufacturers and the state's safety inspectors to ensure the rafts maintain the correct speed and do not "airborne" or bottom out. For multi-passenger raft rides, operators often weigh the entire group to ensure the "Combined Weight" falls within a safe window (typically between 300 and 800 lbs depending on the slide). While it can feel awkward, it is a non-negotiable safety protocol designed to prevent serious injury. If you are concerned, you can usually find the specific weight requirements posted on the park's website or at the "Guest Services" desk near the entrance.
