Looks like we'll get a proper false spring after all, high of 60 on Saturday before a couple of freezing nights and highs in the 30s.

It's scary to think that when you remove like 2 vital parts how quickly it falls

It's a shame, didn't get a proper send-off. Basically shuttered it at the end of Fright Fest and then announced after it had been closed for the season that it was going to be demoed.

Online rumor is that the fall ride that ran on that tower got damaged in a storm somehow, and the park wanted to run the coaster in '25 before shutting it down, but the state wouldn't let them only run the coaster without fixing the fall ride. So the park just closed them both, since '25 was going to be the end anyway. Hopefully whatever that replace it with actually opens on time now.
 
Been growing my heard out since December. Been keeping my neck clean and my mustache trimmed so it’s not over my upper lip but other than that been letting it just go and it’s pretty messy so I’m gonna try to get a trim today. Nervous. Don’t want to screw it up.

Well it's good to say they put safety ahead of profit.. Most parks would just let it continue to operate and have someone or multiple people hurt before doing anything with it

I mean, they did basically put profit ahead of their consumers here. They weren't going to get an annual approval to operate the ride without making the repairs, and they decided to not make the necessary repairs on the lesser known ride.

No company would put profit first

Oh, (Tr)Action Park. I don't remember if the looped body slide was there the time I went. I did basically take the skin off my shoulders on the Alpine Slide there (I was like 7 or 8 when we went), and I do remember that part of the first aid was "just go sit in the wave pool and let the chlorine kill the germs that are trying to get in".

The 80s were wild.

Yeah, Action park was one of the more famous. OBviously never been, but I've heard about it (I mean there was a doucmentary about it, but i didn't watch).

"there were too many bloody noses and back injuries" from riders. Some early riders came back with lacerations to their bodies; when the ride was closed to determine what had caused them, teeth that had fallen out were found lodged in the interior walls"

I know the park was responsible for a couple of deaths


The other slide was from Kansas, the plan was so insane even Texas said the park couldn't build it there, but along came Kansas......sadly it decapitated a 12 year old and was shut down after that

January starts off decent though. You still have some of that holiday feel and the new year coming in. By February it's just gray and dreary outside all day every day.
 
On the way to the gym I pulled up next to a sheriff while smoking a doob 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬

Casually put it out and went on my way but G ZEUS. 😅
 
So you send me a qoute... Fund send project.. I put qoute in..... You approve it... Send it off... For the party to be like, "this is wrong, not mine."

When I ask you about it you play it off like you didn't do anything wrong.... Oh Friday!

I am tired. Woke up around 3 and I am feeling it.
