Child dies at Schlitterbahn in KCK
This is horrifying. Supposed to be a press conference soon with more details. Rumors seem to indicate it happened on the Verrukt, the world's tallest waterslide.

The Margaritaville bar/pool in Tulsa is awesome. Had a great time out there in May.

I loved Schlitterbahn, unfortunate all around. Was a great and worthy alternative to Oceans of Fun, something sorely needed in the area, and the fact that you were able to just traverse the park on a lazy river raft while relaxing with a drink was so amazing. Crazy to see it completely abandoned like that when it was so busy pre-pandemic. I remember watching a news clip of it reopening after the pandemic and only like two or three people having the park to themselves.

The owners of it are more careless with safety than the owners were at Action Park.

I went there once shortly after it opened. We saw a raft go down the big slide. Assumed it was engineering proving it was safe/ not their fault and the slide would be open eventually. I really had no idea the place closed I'm not from the area.

That place was a blast for most the reason prior posts mention. I live 2 hrs away and would take the family 2x year. You could bring your own cooler (food only) to save $.
A great way to spend the day. |

We went to great Wolf the year after. Did not enjoy it as much.

By the way they said on the radio when I was in KC a few days ago that this place is not closed permanently and there are still plans to re-open it but perhaps with a different name
