Those cars were ridiculously fast. Back in 1996, I was like 17 and barely knew what I was doing. The Alpine Slide I can remember getting off that thing saying, "Damn, I felt like I could have easily flew off the track". Spaceshot was awesome, being shot up in the air 200'. And that neverending water slide with pools and stuff was memorable. Fun park. Is it now Mounatin Creek?
@UnitedWeStand4EVR no sarcasm, this park was a dream come true. you could get badly hurt on everything. the speed slid was taller than any ive seen anywhere and it went completely vertical. the water slapped you back so hard that you could only ride it maybe twice.
I was one of the fortunate people that got to ride the looping water slide at action park. my freind went on and did not have enough momentum to carry him through the loop. he got to the top and slammed onto the bottom of the tube. he was quite upset as you can imagine, THIS WAS THE GREATEST PARK ON EARTH. there wasn't one ride that you couldn't get seriously hurt on.

Wow, that Slingshot sounds ricketey as hell! I like how the old ones used a big ass clamp arm to hold the pod down while the bungee cords tightened. lol
It was closer, cheaper, & more fun than Six Flags Great Adveture!!! As a kid in 1980's NYC, I loved recount all my trips down the Alpine Slide! Beer + Dangerous un-tested rides = Awesome 80's & 90's fun! "(MIA) MISSING IN ACTION PARK"
@AtomicPower i survived one trip when i was 5 and it was amazing. but i didnt get to go on the double black slide ride i wasnt tall enough but i did the aeriodum or w.e and everything else lol
i know its been closed since 1998.... but what happened to the property itself? is the slides and all still there or was it torn down?? some 1 please gimme some feedback...
yeha I was born late too. I would have loved to go. My dad went to Action park and he got burned on the Alpine Slide and his other friend broke his thumb. I would have loved to go though.
Too bad I was born too late. I would have loved to go just to watch the accidents. I hear that crashes were a frequent source of entertainment on the alpine slide. Also, on the Colorado River Rapids, few people have ever seen the non-tunnel section of the fork in the middle of the ride. They have gotten stuck at the end, though.
Nope left behind with my Prius :P
