verticalzero Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 http://englishrussia.com/?p=1901 This amusement park in Volgograd gets underwater suddenly. All as the result of somebody at hydroelectric plant forgot to warn the park that they going to raise the water level. Enjoy the Pic's
FlyingScooter Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Great Pics. I think the circle swing would be a blast with water.
StormFreak Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 The swings look like the swings at Indiana Beach now! And, at least they can now market that coaster as having an exciting "splashdown" effect. Thanks for the pics!
TheHulk Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Forgot to tell the park huh? Kinda sounds unprofessional there. But yea, now the park has a new aqua theme.
FLIPDUDE Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Y'know, if it weren't for the whole "turning on the rides would create an electric current that will fry everyone in the park" thing, I could seriously see this working well for the park! I mean, I sure would go to the beach more if there was a wave swinge r in the waves.
bdstrom Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 hydroelectric plant forgot to warn the park that they going to raise the water level. To me, it appears like they were warned. Look at the swings, the seats are chained up. The mini-skyscrapers are parked upward. And the bumper car area does not have cars in it. The drapes are tied up. Maybe they did all of this after the water came in?
haux Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Englishrussia.com: Your source for reliable news out of Russia. There's a lot that could have happened here. This park was probably next to a river that flooded after a heavy rainfall. But it actually appears to be on a lake, and the water level is higher than normal. But forgetting to tell the park that the water level will rise? That's possible, but it's also kind of dumb. It says people had to run from the coaster, but a lake wouldn't fill up that fast. People would be able to see it coming. I'm just saying that site isn't giving us all the information. They're fun pictures, but we don't have the story.
