Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park Files for Bankruptcy: What It Means for the Industry
from Green Tagged: Theme Park in 30 · host Philip Hernandez
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 9 after a $116 million wrongful death judgment. The park generates up to $16 million a year and is operationally healthy, but a judge's "felonious killing" ruling removed Colorado's damages cap, turning what would have been a $1.2 million verdict into one that's seven times the park's annual revenue. We break down what happened on the ride, why the training failures matter, and what this means for insurance costs across the industry. Plus, we respond to your comments on last week's discussion of the Six Flags pass restructuring.For additional Green Tagged content, subscribe to our Patreon.
