The HBO documentary (available on HBO Max) on Action Park is great.
There is also a really good book written about it, by the owner’s son:
Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides, and the Untold Story of America's Most Dangerous Amusement Park

- andy800 6y agoThe problem I have with "America's Most Dangerous" is that factually, it wasn't even New Jersey's. Six Flags Great Adventure had 10 confirmed fatalities during the years that Action Park operated, the documentary claims 6 at Action Park itself. (just 1 is too many, it's a grisly type of scorekeeping). 8 at Great Adventure were from a fire in the park's haunted house.
- disabled 6y agoI agree. But I think it was the spirit of Action Park that makes it special in the eyes of people in the New York tri-state area.
