that was the best ride I ever been on I

know I mean - that was truly exciting

because we really didn't know whether we

were going to survive it or not usually

on a ride it might be scary but you

figure that you know they've haven't

figured out and we didn't know whether

we had it figured out or not

I always set out to break all the

records I want to be the first at the

bar to buy a drink and I want to be the

first to meet a pretty girl I want to be

the first at everything I want to have

the biggest the tallest and the fastest

rides and in parks the next one I build

is going to be twice as bigger than the

one after that's going to even bigger

than that it is insane and that's

actually when it's called it's called

Verruckt which is German for insane and

today the governor of Kansas Sam

Brownback mayor KCK mark Holland

officials from the Guinness Book of

World Records will all be here to

officially measure this water slide and

submit it for the world record my wife

has given me permission to ride down the

slide but she has not cleared any of our

children I don't know what that means

if you don't think about it you just

enjoy the ride which is probably the

best way to do life

[Music]

keep in mind throughout the designing

building and rebuilding of Baruch

they've been reaching out for

mathematical physical and engineering

advice they have all been completely

wrong every bit of advice we've been

given from the brightest brains and the

smartest engineers mathematicians just

have not been correct despite this being

the rides third delay to open Mo's

visitors here at Schlitterbahn planned

to return for the ride

Derek Potts just caught the end of a

test run the rat slowly made it over the

final hill they have a little net over

the top so it looks like they'll catch

you if you fly off of it good enough for

him to let his ten-year-old daughter

take the drop come opening-day is live

at Schlitterbahn where riders are

getting their first thrill down verruckt

sarah that's right Cindy I got to here

the very first screams from this ride

and just take a look at it

we've been watching as the rats go up

and down all day today

freaking out a heck of a lot of people

here at the park are you gonna go on

that waterslide yeah why not it's too

scary

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

Matt is still a very active scene here

at Schlitterbahn waterpark I want you to

take a look at the fire trucks that are

still out here Kansas City Kansas police

department on scene here investigating

in Kansas City Kansas tragedy on

Schlitterbahn sattva Ruth we are

saddened to share that a young boy died

the child is the son of Kansas state

representative Scott Schwab of Olathe

our thoughts and prayers are with the

family during this difficult time

kermin investigators can now confirm

Kaleb Schwab was decapitated by the

Verruckt a slide at Casey Kay's at Short

urban park I spoke with a min Missouri

man who was at the park at the time we

just heard this loud cracking noise

almost and so we all looked and we saw

that there was the supports that hold

the netting in place that's over the

slide the couple of them were all bent

and jagged out of place my mom saw the

two people on the other behind the

second if there are row seats and they

were just covered in blood it was

horrible

Schlitterbahn announcing today that the

water park will remain reopened on

wednesday but the popular waterslide

will remain closed yeah tonight there

are new questions about the inspection

process Fox fours problem-solver spoke

to one employee says yesterday's death

was tragic but not surprising when to

wake her joins us now Linda this veteran

Schlitterbahn employee said she was

shocked when she first started working

at the water park by what she described

as a lack of training for employees

operating the rides she also blamed

inadequate safety inspections by the

parks own employees

the only inspections we've ever done is

just people writing down slides one time

saying oh it's okay you're good to go

for the rest of the day now in fact

Kansas has a national reputation for

providing minimal state oversight at

amusement parks now Kansas law requires

parks like Schlitterbahn to expect

everything from seat belts to brakes and

barricades daily but unlike Missouri no

state agency does the inspections they

aren't made public and reports do not to

have to be turned over to state

[Applause]

we weren't sure whether to come or not

but we decided to go ahead and come and

but you know kind of mixed feelings but

you know the kids were looking forward

to it and you know we decided to come

and we actually we brought some flowers

with us because it just felt odd coming

and not doing anything or recognizing it

at Schlitterbahn waterpark the magic

begins the moment we arrived

[Music]

Oh

the heart

at the end of the day we all have

something special to hold on to

[Music]

you
