I got laid on a blanket as people watched. They we went down the slippery slid with beer in hand.

The alpine slide was my favorite.  It required a bit of calculation and restraint to prevent an accident.  The concrete runways didn't have high enough berms and were often taken at high speed leading to injuries caused by a combination of stupidity, speed, jagged rocks, steep hills, and outcroppings of large rocks.

I eventually tried the very high water slide.  I didn't like it.   The go-carts were fun but the lines to get in were always long.

 

 

 

 

A friend was a victim of the dreaded Alpine Slide. Broke his ankle of course he was so loaded he didn't even realize it.

Used to hang by the base of the slides as young teens waiting for the girls to come off with wedgies and topless!

I got saved by a woman while drowning there, went on a waterslide without knowing how to swim...was very young YMCA camp I think.

Some of those slides would launch you from a good height down into ice cold water that was 12-14 feet deep.  Most people wouldn't be expecting a drop from those heights or an icy plunge into water that deep.  

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I worked there in high school, used to average at least 1 fatality a year, between Action Park and the ski resorts.

Greta place to work as a kid though, lots of crazy stories!

I worked at Great Adventure when I was in HS. Back then it was all HS kids working there. It was a Great adventure of my life.
