Class Action Park is a 2020 documentary film about the American amusement park Action Park, which was located in Vernon Township, New Jersey and was known for the popularity it had among locals and the infamous for the poor safety record of the attractions located on its grounds. The title is based on one of the popular nicknames by parkgoers, alongside “Traction Park” and “Accident Park”.
I grew up on the west coast of the US, we didn’t have any place like this. After watching some of this, that’s probably a good thing.
Teeth in the top of that loop! Love this shit. Watched it twice when I first learned about it.
Seriously, “Oh is that why people are coming out of the water slide with scratches?”

Amusing that Action Park made it onto this list too. How that place stayed open more than a few years is a sad statement about money and corruption in the US…
“That was probably the only good call the infamous Action Park ever made.”
Sick burn haha
Also quite unsettling that I’ve been on a few of those other rides listed in that article
Huge list but the Smiler isn’t on it. Crazy story if you’re into such things:

The 80s were wild
The only good thing to ever come out of New Jersey
I beg to differ:
