In Utah they have literal children working these parks. I think 12 was or is the age limit for whatever reason. You maybe saw one adult in the vacinity of 2-3 rides

Utah is also one of only six states in the US that does not have any state laws based on ASTM standards (the international guidelines for amusement ride safety).

Is the state motto of Utah just "fuck you"?

Their state motto is "Industry"

So depending how you decide to take that single word, yeah it totally could be translated as "fuck you", and honestly, that kinda was my first thought looking at their motto.

Kids can work there at 14. I swear I almost fell out of the cliffhanger ride there when I was a teenager.
