KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A 168-foot-tall Kansas waterslide on which a state lawmaker's 10-year-old son was killed last summer will be demolished once the unfolding investigation of the tragedy is finished, the water park's operators said Tuesday.
Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts and the family that runs it said in a statement that the "Verruckt" ride at the Schlitterbahn park in Kansas City, Kansas, will be permanently removed from its tower "once the investigation is concluded and we are given permission by the court."
The ride — billed as the world's tallest waterslide — has been closed since Caleb Thomas Schwab died Aug. 7 during one of its runs.
