Looks like the park has been given permission to begin tearing down Verruckt:

Also, this might have been released a while ago, but i want to show you this:

It might be 47 pages long, but i recommend reading the whole thing since it goes into detail about the events leading up to the accident. For those that don't want to read the whole thing, here's a quick breakdown from the Kansas City Star:

A 47-page indictment portrays Schlitterbahn and its two top executives as brazenly pursuing the construction of the world's tallest water slide in a quest to impress producers of a cable television show.

In rushing the slide to completion, the indictment said company leaders:


Did not follow amusement park industry safety standards.

Lacked their own expertise in designing a thrill ride.

Ignored warnings and whistleblowers about the safety of Verruckt.

Failed to maintain the slide once it was built.

And later covered up evidence of riders suffering injuries before Caleb was killed.

I'll just let everything here speak for itself.

Yeah, absolutely abhorrent behaviour from the Park - If I ever find myself in the US I'll certainly not be going there.
