New Braunfels General Store International is a defunct water slide manufacturer formerly located in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.
History
NBGS was founded in 1984 by Jeff Henry, son of Schlitterbahn founder Bob Henry.[1][2]
In 2003 NBGS licensed its Master Blaster to WhiteWater West.[3]
The remaining products were sold to WaterPark Experts in 2006[4][5] and the company ceased trading due to Jeff Henry becoming "bored" of mass-producing rides, instead switching focus to produce bespoke rides for Schlitterbahn.[6]
