While the bank prepared to lock up the Liquid Planet Water Park in Candia, N.H. for good, nine-year Army veteran Kevin Dumont was chaining himself to the last vestiges of his American dream.

“If this goes, I’m going to lose my house, my business, everything,” Dumont said.

This is shaping up to be one of the warmest Novembers in several years, yet it remains too cold for any locals to hit up the local water park. Thanks to Dumont’s last ditch effort to stop his bank from auctioning off his property, however, more people have visited Liquid Planet in that past few days than they have in months. His refusal to let it sink has caught the nation’s attention.

“I know this is a little bit of a publicity stunt, but if the end result is I can save the company, it’s worth being chained in the cold,” Dumont said to reporters.

Dumont took out a $1.5 million loan from a Salem, N.H. bank eight years ago to launch the park and build a home on park property. Unfortunately, his entire income became reliant on a park that was only open 2 1/2 months a year. Coupled with some rainy summers and closed ride, Dumont fell behind on his loan payments. His lender finally decided to foreclose the entire park and put the property up for auction on Dec. 2–and act that would literally cause Dumont to lose everything.

This Gulf War veteran was not about to let that slide.

He put on the warmest winter gear he owned and scrambled to the top of one of his park’s largest attraction. Since chaining himself to the rail on Monday, Dumont has not moved.

While he is definitely hoping to get attention, Dumont stressed that he doesn’t want charity.

“I am not looking for a handout but rather a person, group of people or a company that would partner with me, pay off the bank and save yet another small business from failing,” he said.

One of the people he is hoping to get in contact with is none other than Donald Trump.

“Can you imagine how big it would be if Donald Trump would sit here and tweet out, ‘Take a look at this guy. He’s got a great story and it’s worth saving,” the veteran mused.

Supporters have helped Dumont fortify his spot on the waterslide and deliver food, namely pizza and coffee. He has yet to come down.
