Two people collided on a slide and taken to hospital.

Did a ride break?
Probably some kid couldnt wait 2 seconds for another to get out of the way at the end of the slide.

Damn. Prayer sent. Hope it doesn't affect the Forever in Your Mind concert.

Sounds like that or something similar. Looks like minor issue since they are in stable condition. The tweet was from a while ago and Hillary hadn't updated. WAFB has the story though.

Has to be where it happened. No way for people to collide anywhere besides the end of them. Now whether it was a kid taking too long at the bottom, a guard sending the next too early, or an impatient kid just jumping the gun is the next question.

Damn. Hope everyone is ok
That was my initial thought. Never seen any other water park with so much rusty steel on supports and rivets. And the swaying of that black Moccasin slide's steps and platform at the top made me feel a little uneasy.

From WAFB article update
Maybe one of those slides where the tubes fit multiple people and the riders who collided had been in the same tube until it flipped

Emergency officials say they collided on a water slide after flipping their tubes and that the incident was not caused by a malfunctioning ride

I went once a long time ago. I went down the tall slide and my buddies wife went after me. When I get to the end i got out of the way and looked back. Her top was about 5ft above her as she was coming down. Sh didnt realize it until everyone looked. That was funny.
I never went back because its a fricking circus there. Waiting an hour to slide down for 3 seconds and dealing with the trash in the lines, frick that.

When I used to go to blue Bayou 20+ years ago there was a ride where we used to intentionally flip our tubes every time and stop in the middle of the slide until several groups of people were piled up.
It was great fun

Maybe old man Haynes will do some renovations and maintenance now.
I wonder if his buddy mr. Rod works there, he resembled hulk hogan, nic nolte's infamous mug shot, and Gary busey all into 1 person
