I prefer Seattle out of those cities. Yes, it is somewhat expensive, but it has amazing natural beauty and charm. I really feel that you get what you pay for. Another thing that I think it has over the other three cities is its weather. Seattle has a great year round, relatively mild climate, especially compared to the other cities. It did hit record high temperatures last summer, but generally the winters aren't very cold and the summer aren't too hot.

I think you are mistaken, this is a German word (meaning gliding ride or something like that), it certainly is in Germany, not in Galveston? (or else is the owner/operator a German?)
No he is just saying there is a theme park called Schiltterbahn. There are three in Texas.

Yes, I've been to it multiple times, the one in the San Antonio area (New Braunsfels), that's the largest in the country and the one thats half the size in Galveston. Texas has it as well, and yes, it's German owned.

Here's a link of all the water parks they have here in Texas.
