I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.

To be absolutely clear: people have died here, on more than on occasion. It's like the whole place was designed to be The Last Water Slide You Ever Ride or something. There is nothing stopping you from falling off of these steps and onto slick rock and sliding all the way to the bottom besides your own balance.

apparently if you jump into it, you'll get sucked to the bottom by a powerful drain that will keep you down there until you drown. this is known because it's happened to people. the city's response has always been "well don't do that."

it's a lot of water, all around you, moving very fast. It gets very loud at the bottom, it's like standing next to a waterfall. I took some videos that I'll upload soon and share here in my next post. I went there with my dad, he's the bald dude in the white and blue shirt over the Star Wars tee (I bought him the Star Wars tee for a birthday or Father's Day or something)

Hey, they went ahead and ruined the original design by shutting half the fountains off by the muder pool! You can't say that they haven't done anything! They just put in the extremely dangerous murder pool to begin with and no one ever asked "Hey what if someone like, fell in?"

You're good! I mean, there is some comedy to it, but only the darkest of gallows humor, the kind where you just have to laugh at how over the top the incompetence, danger, and tragedy all is. That was where the tone of my original posts was coming from, just kind of a stunned "wow this is real, this really happened and they just haven't really changed anything huh"
