Robbie Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yes, so last night I was watching Worlds Most Amazing Videos on SPIKE I believe, and it showed a boat in a boating show going into the stands, and then it zoomed out and acrossed the lake is the Geauga Lake Skyline, which I know very well. So, I was just wondering if anyone could confirm, and/or give more info on the incident? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaugalakeinexile Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 yep. It was Geauga Lake. They have videos on You tube. I tried to post the video but it didn't work. While that is Geauga Lake, if it was 1996 then the accident was from the Sea World show. That stadium is still standing at Wild Water Kingdom. Sea World used to do a water skiing show and a boat stunt show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skramp Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Direct from Wikipedia: Stunt show accidentOn August 17, 1996, 22 people were injured during a Baywatch-themed water ski stunt show at the now closed SeaWorld of Ohio. Andrew R. Schleis, who was driving a boat in the show, lost control after the boat allegedly experienced mechanical failure. The boat crashed five rows deep into the show's stadium resulting in 17 being taken to area hospitals and 5 treated on the scene. Of the 17, at least 4 were listed in critical condition.[5] During the accident investigation, the owner of the boat, World Entertainment Services Inc. of Winter Park, Florida, was charged with three marine regulation violations unrelated to the accident.[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
