Action Park was an amusement park located in Vernon, New Jersey, that operated from 1978 to 1996. The park was known for its dangerous and sometimes deadly attractions, which included a wave pool with unpredictable waves, a ski slope with poorly maintained equipment, and a looping waterslide that often resulted in injuries. Despite these hazards, Action Park continued to attract thrill-seekers from all over the country, becoming a cultural icon of the 1980s. The park's lack of safety measures, combined with inexperienced and untrained staff, led to numerous accidents and several fatalities. Despite the risks, the park remained popular, and its wild reputation only seemed to add to its allure. Despite its dangerous reputation, Action Park has a cult following and is remembered by many as a symbol of an era of fearless, no-holds-barred fun. The park's legacy has been the subject of numerous articles, documentaries, and even a book, and its name is still synonymous with dangerous, unregulated amusement park attractions. While the park may have been infamous for its danger, for those who experienced it, Action Park will always be remembered as a place where anything was possible and the excitement was nonstop.
