• Due to the heat, all water has generally evaporated by 11:00 am daily. This is due to the thermal motion of molecules of liquid being sufficient to overcome the surface tension, that is, its kinetic energy exceeds the work function of cohesion at the surface. It is beyond our control. Nothing we can do about it because, science.
• The lack of water results in an increase of what our Safety Team, Sean, calls “Gnarly Road Rash.”
• On the upside, drowning risk significantly reduced during afternoon hours.
• We are also legally prohibited from calling ourselves an “Amusement” Park until we gather enough data proving guests are actually amused.
• Amusement data is currently being collected by a variety of means.
• Introduce next speaker.
