While not as bad as Action Park, River Country wasn't perfect as far as safety goes either. The one slide ended a good 6 feet above the surface of the water so there was a nice drop at the end. One time I came down weird and smacked my face on the water resulting in a bloody nose. And I'm sure more than one person got hurt on the rope tire swing things.
Actually, River Country was built at a time when people still had, and used personal responsibility - didn't wait for others to build a safety cage around you. We brought our two children many times and never had any bad experiences there or saw anything untoward happen. Had lots of fun on the swings over the water. Now people have to be so protected from themselves and things that should be common sense, and was in the day.
Takes a lot of fun out of things that we once could enjoy.
