Or, as we called it living nearby, Traction Park.  There was the Fryak (kayak ride), Grave Pool (wave pool) and so on.  There were deaths and injuries over the years and I had a bunch of friends that worked there during their college or high school years that tell many funny stories.

I was there when I was in highschool...and I've seen a fair share of injuries to friends out of that place.  Man for a second, I thought Mountain Creek re-opened it! haha

I was there the day they finally closed the "loop" slide for good.  It wasn't open very long and probably maimed a higher percentage of people that any other ride.  We were on line to ride it and a guy went down and when he came out the end his back was a bloody mess.  It looked like he had been whipped.  Somehow sand and gravel had accumulated in the lower part of the tube and when he shot across it with all the downward force of the long drop it just tore him up.

 

We also had a bunch of kids at school that were missing teeth from the alpine slide.

On a semi-related issue, the Division has at least 4 sows tagged and radio collared within yards of the ski trail there and they routinely go into the dens in late winter/early spring to weigh the newborn cubs.  All of these dens are within 100 yards of the condos.

My first job was as a lifeguard on the Tarzan Swing/Cannonball.  Lots of great memories.

Wasn't that near where Loony Tune Suzy Q got arrested for jumping between a CO and a bear?

I used to see a few bears from the ski lifts.  They would walk around the wooded areas between the ski trails alot.
