Dry Water Ride More Fun!

A Philadelphia firefighter was hospitalized in critical condition, and his wife and their three children injured, in Atlantic City in June after an accident at the Steel Pier amusement park. The five were in a ride car on the Big Splash, where after a descent, the car was to slide into the water at a high speed and soak everyone, but apparently the park workers on duty had either forgotten to put water in the basin or had not noticed that it had all drained out. The article appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer on July 22nd.

Do not, I repeat, Do NOT get into a water ride that doesn't have any water. It's just not good for you.
