I read that too... I just don't believe it. That seems ridiculous to me. Would they have to hire an army of handymen to do the construction? It looks way too large and involved for that. Does the state really allow construction of something this large and involved without any engineers signing off?

If this is true, I don't think I may ever let my child into a water park. Is this true of traditional amusement parks as well, I wonder?

Their family owns a construction company that was also named in the legal filings, so I assume they built it.

It defies belief. I don't know how they got insurance for essentially homemade waterslides.

It seems like most of the insurance and regulatory process assumed independent manufacturers certifying the equipment. In this case, the manufacturer was also essentially also the park operator.

It seems that it differs by state, but in Kansas, amusement parks in general are self-regulated.
