Beyond the oxymoronic 'Water park catching fire and burning down' headline and the article's amusing asides, this reflects a problem across the US. Often the only regulatory barrier that companies have to face is the initial building permit which can be a very cursory process. Beyond that, without a catastrophe to generate local public demand for action, the companies are home free. I suspect this will not affect the crowds that will show up on opening day.
