Those wave pools are very popular in europe, I remember going in one in cyprus and the guards there were like top tier, luckily no one died, but the guards would often be on a platform right above the deep end so if someone was in trouble they could switch it off and be there is seconds. American parks are known to hire students with very little to no training so the problem is mainly from lack of experienced lifeguards

They only took cash at the park I believe, so she would literally have to stuff garbage bags full of cash to collect money. A lot of workers actually tried to steal the money from the bags. Sometimes they were just paid with the money bags, too. It was crowded, super busy, and people would literally just throw money at her for drinks. Absolutely insane.

As a former employee at Shitterbahn the one in south padre island (no longer exists) which is where the employee died. I was working when the news broke out about it. I also was the one who would frequently serve the owner that was later sent to prison. The accident itself wasn't a actual decapitation but a medical decapitation. His spine was severed due to hitting a low hanging pipe. I was also working when I saw the owner detained. The one who created the slide (co-owner) did not have licensing, training or know how to make the slide. However, still made it anyways as a way to reclaim fame. It was an entire massive over-sight but considering the park I worked at is closed I'm sure I might be able to talk about this lmao. Btw where the incident took place, it was in Kansas City if i remember correctly. After the incident the co-owner was basically banished to the park in South Padre Island.

Also was known around the city as being a notorious "party" type. Also There was technically two water parks the indoor water park and the outdoor water park.

I’ve grown up right by disney and I’ve gone to both. Both are very similar food wise for the most part, although Epoct’s food is very diverse and good. However, if you’re there for experiences and immersion, Disney is better. The entire point of Disney is to make it feel like another world and it does it well no matter where you are. Universal, however, has much better thrill rides and tends to suit older audiences more. Some locations, such as Harry Potter World and the Simpsons area, also do well on immersion. But generally, Universal’s immersion is mostly within only the rides themselves.
@gracevaldez5385 Жыл бұрын
Fr especially Volcano Bay. I like how you can reserve your ride with your watch and you can go on other rides while you wait for your reservation. I definitely recommend Universal than Disney.

I went to a big water park for my thirteenth birthday, right before moving away. I had wanted to go to that water park the whole time I had lived in Colorado, but I never could until that day. I remember I was in the wave pool and the waves hit. I was pretty small at the time, still hadn’t hit any growth spurts so I looked more like an 8 year old than I did 13. I got thrown underwater and slammed my head against the ground. I was one of the only people in the pool without an innertube, so every time I tried to get air my head would hit an innertube and I’d be stuck, the waves occasionally pulling me further to the deep end. I was sobbing my eyes out by the time I had gotten out of the water (with no help from the life guards) and I sat with my parents while the friend I had with me did all the fun shit

If you don’t use the brake at all, you could go as see a speed gage tell you that you would go as fast as 30 km/hr (about 19 mi/hr). There was nothing if you somehow fell off or something dangerous.

My mom went on that ride at Schlitterbaum and she said it was terrifying. The reason the kid was decapitated was because he was technically too small (weight) to be on the ride, but since he was the senators son, they let him on, because the senator threatened to sue. That's why all charges were dropped. It was a whole thing and since I live in the area my history teacher made us do a research paper as a back to school current events project. My mom told me that she was put on with some random 11 year old who started flying up at the same place the other kid did, and she instinctively grabbed him and pulled him back down onto the raft, probably saving his life, in hindsight.

Have any of you braved the wave pool at Water World in Denver, Colorado? I always went there during the summer as a child, and looking back on it after seeing all this, I'm thankful that I'm still here. I remember the waves would carry swarms of adults in the inflatable tubes, and they would roll over you or come crashing down when the waves broke. The possibility of getting trapped beneath the masses in the swirling chaos, or being incapacitated and sinking to the bottom where they wouldn't notice you until it's too late.

I grew up in New Braunfels, where the original Schlitterbahn is, and it was very widely known throughout town that as the park expanded and more parks were built that they stopped caring about safety and responsibility. At some point in the late 00's, we stopped going altogether. The Kansas City decapitation incident happened after I was grown and moved away, so I never heard about it. It's sad to see such a beloved and cherished park succumb to the wiles of greed, and a once family owned business turn into a scummy corporation.

The water park he talks about where the kid got decapitated is Schlitterbahn in Kansas City. I know this because I live here. They built what was the tallest water slide in the world called the Verrückt and this 10 year old boy named Caleb Schwab who was the son of the SECRETARY OF STATE OF KANSAS Scott Schwab went down it and got his head cut off. Needless to say the park has lost a lot of money because of it and many lawsuits were made. Practically nobody here goes there anymore and everybody goes to Worlds of fun/Oceans of fun (our other theme/water park). Rest in peice Caleb you were taken to soon.

@gorrilamadman86023 жыл бұрын
Hi there Charlie, I actually went to Schlitterbahn a few times before Covid and I was one of the many people that was excited about that slide. It was a huge story here when that kid was killed and many people here think that the judge was bribed into dropping the charges. The park lost millions and was hurt even more from the massive advertising campaign that they had to drop after the ride was deemed "morally and ethically void". It was also later released that the park had failed to complete multiple safety inspections and that the park had never been actually cleared by inspectors before it was opened. It's a real tragedy and it's awful that it was just swept under the carpet like that. But what’s perhaps even worse is how much of a role the Government had in this story. You see, this park was a great tourist attraction that pulled in millions of dollars that the Government could get ahold of one way or another. So, when this whole catastrophe started, they were terrified that they might lose a huge source of revenue. To keep this from happening the Gov. did horrible things like getting the judge to drop the charges, but they also played a big hand in covering up the event itself. Almost five years later the park would still be as busy as ever, if not for COVID, and they even plan on reopening sometime soon. But the scary part is that it took only about two or three weeks for this story to be swept under the rug by the media. It blew over so fast it’s almost certainly a conspiracy. That’s why I was so confused when I first saw this video, because I had to watch it two or three times before I made the mental connection back to this event. I think that in no small part was due to many media outlets being pressured or bought to not keep running stories or updates on this event. The city wanted to keep it hidden and they did. The park has opened and will open again as if nothing ever happened. My condolences to the families of all those who suffered and I only hope that the places where the media couldn’t be stifled by the local government learn what the precedent for Schlitterbahn’s safety standards is and that they are forcefully made to comply to all safety laws in the future.

One of Action Park's first rides was the water slide loop de loop. People were coming out of it with massive cuts and gashes. When the engineers opened it up, they found human teeth lodged in the wall at the top of the loop. _People were smacking their face into the wall and losing teeth in there._ And those teeth would then cut people who went in after.

This is literally the sickest park I've ever seen and I live within 2 hours of 3 major amusement parks. I'd go there and use my own judgement if a ride was safe or not. About Schlitterbahn though. That's so crazy. I feel so bad for his family. We've had a few deaths at the parks around my area, but it had to do with people climbing out of their seats on the massive Ferris wheel, etc. I was once stuck on a rollercoaster that couldn't stop due to rain. It was called the Hercules. It was such an old wooden rollercoaster and painful. People legit broke their backs from being tossed around so much. So, it was pretty terrifying when the brakes tried to kick in, but didn't. It was the loudest slam you can imagine and we had to go around a few times until they got it stopped close to the loading area and we were able to get out and walk down the side. I'd honestly rather that then have it be stuck at the very top though.

I remember the Jaws ride and that is the ride that was and is responsible for my fear of being in a boat by any sort of underwater gas pipes or machinery. I remember at Lake Lanier in Georgia my dad would start taking the boat close to one of the dams were there were warning buoys and I start freaking out thinking we hit some underwater pipe or something. He wouldn't do it purposely it was actually a strangely good place to fish at the time but still to this day anything pertaining to underwater pipes and machinery freaks me out.

Iirc a lot of the problem was operator negligence and not just flawed ride design. You had to have a perfect balance of weight and height of your riders on all parts of the craft as it went down the slide. The employee sent the kid down in the wrong position. Granted, it's a pretty bad ride design if you have to do math for every rider that gets on, instead of having actual guaranteed safety. But apparently people would experience turbulence and "fly up" pretty frequently on this particular attraction, that's the whole reason they had a 'net' on the top of the tube to stop riders from hitting the top. The kid caught his head/neck on the net and it decapitated him. I recently saw the aerial news footage that was taken of the ride after it happened. The whole slide of water was just red. You're used to seeing this stuff in horror movies or games or other shock media, but when you realize it's actual human viscera that you're looking at, it kinda puts a pit in your stomach. I live in the city where a tension line on a lift-type ride snapped and cut the legs off of a young girl. She went to the middle school I went to, and had the teacher I had, right before I did. He told us some stories about her, apparently she was pretty chill with it all. The right used to be named Hellavator, it was reopened under the name Super-man's Power of Tower or something similar. Sometimes rides just malfunction.

Jaws one of my favorite rides. I still remember the last time I got to ride it, not fully realizing it was getting removed to get the Diagon Alley stuff there. If I had fully known, I'd have pushed to ride it a few more times. The last time we rode was in 2012 and had brought the grandparents with us. Gramps was fully on board cause he loves rides and such but Gram was being weird, she refused to do any rides or shows, no matter how mild, including It's a Small World. Thing was she enjoys rides too, just not the thrill ones. This caused a brewing argument since we'd paid to have her there all the Disney and Universal parks and such but she wasn't doing anything except sitting by the strollers. The rest of us were annoyed (not me) she had taken the trip to do nothing but sit and sweat. I defused what was about to be a shouting match by convincing her to do one ride and she could sit all the rest out, no complaints from either side. She agreed. Yes, it was Jaws. She hates Jaws. I somehow talked her into it. Funniest part was she enjoyed the ride and no more arguments....... about her not doing anything xD. But I was sad to see it go along with Back to the Future, both I had rode since I was 4. Still amazed ET is there and it's dull as dishwater but the two better rides went to Defunctland. I do got bad news as MIB in Orlando has taken a dive, they basically have multiple broken guns per ride now so you just sit there and do nothing if you're unlucky.

3:44 I second that motion as someone who almost died on a Schlitterbahn ride personally lol they have 2 really reallllllly tall slides that go from a 15* degree angle down to a almost 90* straight down angle instantly. I almost went 7-8 ft too far for my back to sync up with the angle of the slide and curvature at the bottom. I took one of the slides and was fine was a adrenaline rush then that happened with the other slide I forget the slides name but if not I would have just fallen like 80-100 ft straight onto the slide..
