Action Park - America's most dangerous theme park (part 2)

In the second part of our Action Park extravaganza, we continue to look at the absolute train wreck that Action Park was. The much loved water theme park, located in Vernon, New Jersey, was an infamous amusement and water park known for its extreme and often dangerous attractions.

Opening in 1978 and operating through the mid-1990s, it gained a notorious reputation due to the high number of injuries and fatalities among its visitors.

The park featured rides that defied conventional safety standards, such as the Cannonball Loop, a waterslide with a full vertical loop, and the Alpine Slide, a concrete track that caused numerous abrasions and fractures and at least one death, despite what Action Park officials said.

Lax regulations, poorly trained staff, and an emphasis on thrill-seeking contributed to its legacy as one of the most hazardous amusement parks in history.

Despite its closure, Action Park remains a symbol of the reckless, adrenaline-fueled spirit of its era, remembered both for its exhilarating attractions and the considerable risks they posed.
