I think a lot of people are missing the point with this doc. It's told through the eyes of many different people, many of them kids at the time, and so of course their recollections and memories of the park are going to be different to those who paid a price on a personal level. Yes it was dangerous, yes Gene Mulvihill was a sociopath who acted disgracefully and irresponsibly in a great number of ways, and equally yes a lot of people have fond memories of the place and how it was an embodiment of what it meant to be a kid in the 80's. We see a story told through many different eyes, sometimes in comedic fashion but ultimately the message gets through; a lot of people got hurt there and the park was poorly managed and constructed. It certainly wouldn't get built today, and that's one thing everyone interviewed would agree on now, even if they didn't realise it at the time.
