Fool’s Fest

KC Watersports, the newest cable park in the United States, is set to kick off the 2005 season on April 1st. Opening weekend will feature the first “Fool’s Fest”.

In addition, there will be a prize for the best trick on the new Alliance Slider, nicknamed, “the short bus”. The short bus measures 85 feet in total length with a flat sliding surface close to 70 feet, making it the longest public sliding structure in the country. The new transitional kicker will also be introduced this weekend.
