Its hard to justify what the mother of the child who died on the Alpine Slide went through in the name of fun. The owner lied and covered up how he had died. If, indeed, he was honest in his lawsuits, the park would have no doubt have gone bust long before it did. The theme park was undoubtedly a high financial risk to begin with, and the owner took out dodgy accident insurance, linked to a tax haven, to cover it. It did provide high octane adventures... at a price. You still cant beat the vibe of the place though, safe adventure parks are so mundane in comparison to this. People like to take risks, and ofcourse there are great risks in any sport. Its hard to quantify the risk factor without knowing how many people passed through the gates, it looked like the majority of New Yorks/ New Jersey youth and beyond. Personally I would love to see something like this in operation, its just to wild. You could sign a disclaimer and certainly certain aspects would need to be improved for health and safety ofcourse. The Alpine slide for example - what was that? Careering along a half tube made of concrete and asbestos down a mountain face, in a broken kart which looks not much more than a skateboard with no brakes lol, no thanks. Think I'd draw the line there. Maybe this could have only have happened in the 80s, great stuff
