Never seen that chute ride, but I've seen some jaw-dropping crazy rides they've had there in the past. I wish we weren't so litigious and wussified now, or we'd see some real creativity like they had back then. Nothing but strapped in coasters and ferris wheels from here on out I guess.
Cow rides were funny.
