Detroit's notorious historic slide
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2022 3:39 pm
The DNR has had to 'close-down' the recently reopened Belle Isle giant slide, two days in a row, due to people going airborne.
The attempt to open the historic structure, (built in 1973), has been frustrated by not getting the wax quite right!
(I imagine the cloth sacks, they have the riders use, have something to do with it)?
The News Videos are hilarious!
"Wax On Wax Off", as Mr. Miyagi says.
Detroit just has a way of being .... well .... 'funny'. Must be the water!
Back in the 1970's a Recreation Dept. employee was stabbed and spent 5 days in the hospital by a woman, who he confronted for not paying the 15-cent ride-fee.
A couple years later, the same employee shot and killed a 'line-jumping' guy, who didn't pay the fee. Damn right!
It costs a $1.00, now, but you get to go airborne in a body bag! PURE MICHIGAN
(Heck, when I was a kid, 'going airborne and bouncing into others' would have been a cool part of the experience. No wonder my knees are bad, and I ache in strange places)!
