Most Infamous Water Park In America Now Abandoned (Schlitterbahn Kansas City, Kansas) 

Same I swear it was bound to happen eventually

He wasn’t even supposed to be on it because of his height. but because daddy was a senator and the park was closed off to them privately he got to go on it and you see what happened

@@johnsonwilliam1023It was not closed off and he was allowed on the ride. As there were other customers present and other riders.

@@keirengaming I worked their when it happened so go away He shouldn’t even been on it. He was too short, but because his dad was who he was, they let him on it now, shut your mouth and go away.

@@keirengaming The park was too closed off. It was a private party. I worked there is for senator.

Thank you for watching!!

Wow. Thank you for sharing that

Were you working the day of the accident

@R T no I was on my weekend when it happened but we were suppose to have our end of seaaon party that day which was canceled. I was driving in to be there when I saw all the news vana outside reporting on it. Didn't learn about the accident until I met one of my coworkers at the main gate.

​@@joelstapleton4033 Hey man, are you Ok? Sorry, I dont speak english, i'm brasilian guy. I have very curiosity the theme... You Can talk with me?

Today see park for Google Street View... People, Smiles, lives...

It is a shame. Lots of memories there.

I remeber my family talking about the incedint when I was younger, that’s why I go to oceans of fun 😩

I didn’t even live there but it looked like a great park!!! I went to waterworld in Denver but the lines were too long I got to go down like two slides 🛝 cuz I was in line most of the day !!!

Me too.

@@jamielauro2623 well you have to know when to go G.. Water world by acreage is the largest water park in the states and has expanded tremendously since the early 00s.. best days to go are holidays and weeks days.. weekends are always packed.. my favorite days to go are mondays, Labor Day, and Father’s Day.. literally those are the least busiest days to go to WW.. Labor Day is best imo because it’s usually still in the mid 90s and everyone else is busy with other endeavors camping, barbecueing, hiking, etc.. WW feels empty on Labor Day everytime I’ve gone.. last time I went was last year on Labor Day in fact.. keep in mind though Labor Day weekend is the last s weekend they’re open..

We are glad you enjoyed the video!! Thank you so much for watching!!

Came here from tik tok btw 😁

Glad to have you over on RU-vid!! Thanks for all the support!!

Thanks Blake actually edited and put together this whole video.

Thank you for watching!! And indeed a horrible tragedy.

i never rode the verrückt, and i'm honestly glad i didn't. my feeling is that they only built it for the looks. i didn't want to spend a long time going up the stairs just to go down a dangerous slide, cuz i knew it was pretty fishy.

Here ya go 🙂

Thank you for watching!!

Thank you so much!! We love the support!!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!!

Thanks for watching Caleb!!

Wow. What happened that got you injured?

@@exploretheabandoned I was always falling off rafts in the river rapid ride. Scraping feet and legs on the bottom. Then when you were out of the raft someone else would come along right on top of you hitting your head and pushing you under. I actually think I may have had a minor concussion from that as I had head and neck pain for over a week! Bloodied toes and knees. Then the wave river ride (not sure of any official names) always scraped you against the side walls and also had an issue of being ran over. Always came out bruised, scraped up, and possibly concussed. On top of that the park was almost completely concrete. It just wasn’t appealing and a very confusing set up. I honestly did not like it at all and never understood why other people did! Lol. Surely other people went home banged up too.

That is insane. Thank you for sharing all of that.

@@stephanieg8545 You are not alone! Although it was a very popular park, Lots of people complained about all sort of issues similar to what you have said. I never complained but I too had annoying scrapes and bashes from their rides. What surprises me is this place was heavily invested in from being built onward, But it always felt a bit cheap... Do you know what I mean? And safety did play on my mind often when I went. It was a popular dig for my friends so I always tagged along but was vocal about my opinion on the place. As for Verrückt? I never liked it! I went on it once and it just felt wrong.. Again, Lots of money spent but it seemed primitive and not very safe imo - I say imo but I was actually proved right! Unfortunately.

@@danimayb I never rode verruckt, but I understand the cheap feeling! I was never a fan of all the concrete. It just felt unnatural and almost industrial imo. Like everything was plopped together without any real rhyme or reason. I grew up always going to oceans of fun so maybe I was just biased!

Thank you for watching!!

That is awful! You think they'd at least try to cover it up.

In 2014, Scott Schwab was part of the KS legislature that passed Senate Bill 311 capping non-economic damages in all personal injury and wrongful death cases at $300,000. Luckily for him, he was awarded $20,000,000 bypassing the Kansas law in a Kansas court by allowing Texas law be applied because of Schlitterbaum's Texas home office residence.

Thanks for educating us on that. I did not know that part of the story.

Thank you Spartan 85!!

The footage we had was not the best, we originally thought it was unusable. But we finally managed to make it work, by doing a different style of video then what we normally did.

Wow. That’s crazy

It’s great you didnt

It’s completly demolished now, I went before the accident. But never went again after when it was open.

@@exploretheabandoned damn, that’s really unfortunate

That’s awesome!! What was the occasion for stopping in town?

@@exploretheabandoned I was on a Midwest roadtrip vacation and spent the night in Overland Park

Oh nice!! Did you come through Kansas City, Missouri?

@@exploretheabandoned yes, took pictures of Union Station with the skyline, awesome place! West Bottoms was interesting too

That’s great!! Next time you ever come by, let us know!!

Glad you made out alive my gosh 😮

It really was. So sad and a tragic situation all around.

It was completely demolished

I had no idea about that thanks for sharing!

Like he said in the video, they tried to stay open but were struggling to stay open and were losing money.

The net is actually what ended up killing the kid and closing thy whole place!

? You literally never watched the videos? All the weight was in the back. When it went over the hump, it launched him into the netting, snapping his head off his shoulders. It's quite easy to understand if you really look at from a 70mph speed and being flung into the netting. I've known people to get beheaded from way slower speeds than that on motorcycles.

So quick!!

The park is now completly demolished

I've read hundreds of comments over the years and 90% of them says it was trash to begin with. I don't know. Never been.

I think he was 10 when that happened.

he was 10, his brother was 12

It would have deemed still unsafe. it was a ticking time bomb.

@@nataliemoraes2033 Well, I went on it twice. I live here in Kansas City, and everything was with. It was fine until this kid went on it. That wasn’t supposed to be on there because he was too short. Couldn’t stay in restraints. But since daddy was there with the rest of the Senators , the park was closed off to them only so they let them go on it and you see what happened

@@johnsonwilliam1023 i get it. But like i said, bound to happen. With the ride only handling certain weight otherwise ppl would fly off regardless of age. The test dummies even flew off. And the ride after much inspection was deemed unsafe to standards. With that being said, another accident would have happened. I mean there needs to be certain weight on the ride and a certain distribution of weight on the ride. Sorry your ride you liked got shut down.

@@nataliemoraes2033 Apparently, you don’t get it because he left the raft he flew out of the raft because he was too short. nothing to do with weight. The Raft did not fly up in the air. The kid came out of it.

@@johnsonwilliam1023 i am not sure if you get what i am saying. The park had many violations for that one ride. It's an accident waiting to happen.

I guess it's pronounced "ve-ryckt" or something like that.

@@madeleneandersson5875 Soft V, almost like an F, Vair-rookt

​@@Rae_HairUArehi! I asked my German husband and this is not a OO sound. It sounds like a U in French (sound that doesn't exist in English )

@@perthfanny3017 Hallo! True, it's -as in rook, the bird or chess piece, not oo as in cuckoo. It's the closest most English only speakers are going to get. I was raised in Germany also!
