It was really so much fun and worth all of the pain you’d feel the next day. I was there one of the few days the looping slide was open but was way too terrified to even think of attempting it.
The Colorado slide might have been the most fun thing at any water or amusement park. They don’t talk about it in the book or documentary for some reason, but you essentially had to carry those giant, extremely heavy rafts up a slippery jagged stone “path” up a mountain while dodging everyone else. Remember my dad and I trying to balance it on our heads despite our height differential just so we could see the tripping hazards below us.
Love watching old footage from the 80s and early 90s.
