Title: 7/24 of Magic Springs Rides Not Operating
Post by: GADVwow on June 11, 2009, 11:32:32 AM
Parc owns this park.  And seven of the twenty-four rides are closed!

...But so far this season, there haven't been as many screams and thrills. That's because seven of the 24 rides have closed signs. That's 34 percent that aren't operating, including some of the most popular rides like the X-Coaster and the Arkansas Twister. There's also a kiddie pool at Crystal Falls on the list.

Pam says, "That is why we came over to the swimming park a little earlier because they were disappointed with the rides."

The problems started at the close of last season. Routine maintenance on some rides turned into major repairs. ...

By the way, the writer can't do math.  7/24 is NOT 34 percent.  Sigh.  It's not even 30 percent.  Still nothing to be proud of, though.

This truly is an amazing article that deserves to be read in full.
