Action Park was an amusement and water park in Vernon Township, New Jersey that opened in the summer of 1978, under the ownership of Great American Recreation.
Its creator and owner, Eugene Mulvihill, envisioned creating a theme park like no action, where visitors would themselves control the action. Action Park featured three separate areas: the Alpine Centre, Motor World and Water World. Many of its attractions were experimental and unique. Despite being extremely popular, Action Park gained an infamous reputation for poorly designed rides, undertrained staff, and a disastrously poor safety record.
At least six people were known to have died at Action Park.
The original Action Park was closed finally in 1996 after Gene’s strategy of using illegal financial schemes to keep the business solvent finally collapsed, and under the mounting pressure of some 2,400 personal injury lawsuits, Action Park went bankrupt.
Some of the most loved and notable rides included the Cannonball Loop, Alpine Slide, Surf Hill, the Tidal Wave Pool (aka the Grave Pool), Super Go Karts and Lola Racers.
This is the complete story of Action Park.
