Action Park: World's Most Dangerous Amusement Park

[Greggulator]

Those of us who grew up in the Tri-State area will no doubt have fond memories of Action Park, the world's most insane amusement park. Deaths! Horrific injuries! The nicknames of "Traction Park" and "Class Action Park."

 

The link above is to a really fun documentary about this place.

Action Park.  I always wanted to go, but was NEVER allowed.  Closed down a year before I could go myself.  

 

I so wanted to go on that looping waterslide.

I think I went to Action Park every year, at least once.  It was a hell of a lot of fun.  But yeah, the Cannonball Loop was a complete work of insanity.  I remember them building it and everyone was like "that thing is fucking crazy."

 

And they weren't lying about the Alpine slide, there were photos of what happened if you wiped out or put your arms out on the concrete.

What in the backwoods hell?  And you easterners have the nerve to talk about southerners' wacky ways to have fun. Of course, we don't have to build rides.  We just run into the woods and swamps for giggles.
