Zand Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The atmosphere was totally different than 2 years ago for sure. Last time it felt like a warehouse with a couple random stores plus a park and a ski hill. This time it legitimately felt like being in a real mall. It's kind of surreal watching my wife spend millions of dollars at Bed Bath and Beyond and thinking in 3 minutes I'll be spending an equally absurd amount to ride roller coasters. It's great that it finally no longer feels like a place that might shut down next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Wow, they're really lucky there were only minor injuries! That's a kids area and it happened while the park was open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Seriously, very lucky for those below the thing. I'm almost almost starting to feel bad for this place for being the subject of so press attention. Then again, they basically robbed the taxpayers of NJ (including my parents) to build this place and are continually defaulting on their debts...so I don't feel too bad LOL.

grsupercity Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Now the real question is who is responsible. The person who designed the helicopter, person who built it or the guy that installed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The laughs keep coming... Quote EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (PIX11) — The building that houses a water park at New Jersey’s American Dream mall and entertainment complex is “unsafe,” a state official reportedly said Tuesday, forcing the park to remain closed days after a decorative helicopter fell into a pool and injured four people. A spokesperson for the state Department of Community Affairs’ construction office told NJ.com that the building housing the DreamWorks Water Park is an “unsafe structure,” the outlet reported Tuesday. That designation means that the park will remain closed for the time being, as officials continue to investigate conditions following the Sunday afternoon incident that left four people injured. A decorative helicopter fell from the ceiling around 3 p.m., plummeting into a pool below, officials said. Three people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, while a fourth went to a hospital for further care. The injuries were not considered life-threatening, according to an American Dream spokesperson. “The safety of our guests is our highest priority,” a spokesperson said after the incident. “We will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident to ensure the park meets all safety regulations as required.” The closure is not expected to impact operations at the rest of American Dream. State officials did not immediately respond to a request for further information from PIX11 News. https://pix11.com/news/local-news/new-jersey/nj-officials-probe-safety-of-water-park-at-american-dream-after-decorative-helicopter-fall-report/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Wow, this place really does seem cursed. Wonder how long it takes to even fix a building of that size when it's deemed an unfit structure and how it's even done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 ^But is it really unfit or is this some weird sketchy jersey thing?? Like are we going to find Jimmy Hoffa's body buried under the water park!?!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
