1st of all "Schlitterbahn" means "slide" in German(Just google it).
2nd "Verrückt" is the name of the slide so you can say:"I'm going to ride the new Crazy!"(with capital C) and than every people who knows a English should know it's a name.
3rd if you'll write them a letter they will not give a damn as you said they Americans.
