Seems so sad.

That slide was called the twister two people would go down one slide each in a race to the bottom I believe was the last slide to be put in. And ironically one of the slowest there! My favorites as child were "the squeeze" and "the blackhole" notorious for hitting your head on the first sharp corner if not in the correct position!

The place looks much bigger, with many more buildings than the last time I was there... **** I must be old!!!

?Yeah I didn't recall so many either, think I was just too hyped for the slides to take in much else in at the time.

A home run! Nice to see, here. Such a waste to have everything derelict, now. Even if not closed, covid would have shut it down in 2020. Now it looks like our own Chernobyl!??

Yeah it's a bummer, hopefully they manage to get it sorted out and reopen someday.
