I went here as a kid. The water slide that loops was closed already but everything else was open. I remember it being a great time but the water was ice cold. They had a cliff jump and people were just pouring over it like disney lemmings(since they dont do this naturally), no one to stop them or time the jumps, you just jumped and hoped no one landed on you. The alpine slide had streaks of skin and blood at the sharp turns. The water rapids would have sections you would get stuck on and have get out of the raft and push it over the next obstacle and hooefully get back on before it was too late. I don't remember much else but my family survived it so good times.

Traction park was the greatest place ever.

The giant beer roller stone-skipper thing in the middle of the pool was tits.

You rode a piece of plastic down a giant thing you use to offload trucks and skipped like a stone when you hit the water.

Unless you leaned forward.....

.....or backward while riding down the cheese grater with wheels.

It eventually closed, didn't it? Free market success. /s

But really, if you want a park to be up to some standard, then only visit ones that are certified to some standard. Don't force your standards on everyone.

As long as the ones that aren't advertise themselves as potential death traps, sure.

Long live the 1980's

"The park's popularity went hand-in-hand with a reputation for poorly designed, unsafe rides; under-aged, under-trained, and often under-the-influence staff; intoxicated, unprepared visitors; and a consequently poor safety record. At least six people are known to have died as a result of mishaps on rides at the original park. It was given nicknames such as "Traction Park", "Accident Park", and "Class Action Park" by doctors at nearby hospitals due to the number of severely injured customers they treated."

Except that the guy who died in the kayak thing...he was electrocuted. But if his family members survived, they were merely shocked. Electrocuted means "executed by way of electricity", so if they didn't die, it wasn't electrocution.
