[JoeA320Pilot]

Death Park

[PurpleEaterPeople]

The Action and the Deaths never stop lol

[TBearM1776]

Was it ture there where fights at the Trazan Swing and in Action Park in general? I heard rummours that Andrew Dice Clay got into a brawl at Action Park at the Tranzan Swing?

[McMinnManiac]

guess what??? You sign a waiver when you go there and buy a ticket .Just like Skiing "Ski at YOUR OWN RISK!" THe Space Shuttle ...same thing , they all Died ! They flew at their own risk . Even though NASA used poor judgement launching the shuttle on a cold day ..bad for the fuel seals they did it anyway ,and it caught fire and blew up .Nobody's suing anyone ,hate to tell you,no offense .

[Piazzafan1]

looking for a great place to collect on your spouse's life insurance policy? Then come on down to Action Park

[HACKAMUH]

i work here, its called mountain creek waterpark now

[migraine516]

I almost drowned in the wave pool there. I was maybe 7 or 8, and I walked ALL the way in before they turned it on. Then the waves came, and I went under after it really picked up. The lifeguard looked down at me, threw a little raft at me, and continued to swing his whistle.

[kiwilover135]

@migraine516 ouch...

[brydon189]

LOL, I wish I was born in time to go here. I'd gladly pay Six Flags money to do it.

[Linkbrawlmaster]

The park that has 75 rides to get killed on

[jerzeytpke]

@Linkbrawlmaster They closed it

[zazfilm]

this place should be called murder park

[AmDragNYC]

Hate being marriage and parenthood...well, bring the whole family!

"...Because the negligence will never stop at Action Park!"

Thumbs up Cracked!

[1980Triumph]

Thumbs up is Cracked.com bought you here

[DSNesmith]

The lawsuits never stop at Class Action Park...

[bobcook28]

Accident park, where you too can become a statistic.

[crapthrower1]

Looking for the best place to kill your family? Come to action park! we have 75 rides that are made out of cardboard and fiberglass that go over 500 miles per hour!

[AEMoreira81]

The Traction never stops at Class Action Park!

[mannysdaman1]

a group led by the former owners just repurchased this park and ski resort...lets see what happens

[cookieshopgirl]

family park my ass

[sapher2020]

Too many pussies sued and caused them to close the place!! I've only been there once and it was the greatest place in the world. I wish I could go back in time to spend one more day at this place!!!

[lisamfitz]

@sapher2020 have you been back to visit Mountain Creek Water Park? It's got some great rides AND you get to keep your skin!

[sapher2020]

@lisamfitz Haven't been up there in forever. Do you know if they still have the cliff dive or the rope swing where you can get sick air before jumping into the pool?

[rev4life03]

@sapher2020 they do actually. The cliff i believe is 25 feet and the rope swing is now the tarzan swing. (same concept). And the water is STILL COLD!

[sapher2020]

@rev4life03 Sweet!! TY

[chitoryu12]

@lisamfitz

Well, mostly. From what I've heard some of the stuff hasn't had really any changes other than more attentive lifeguards and operators, as opposed to the high/drunk teenagers who couldn't give a rat's ass if you died on their watch. The raft ride in particular is apparently still quite dangerous, despite the rafts no longer being overloaded and underinflated.

[Jefgg]

Accident Park

[MPOEO]

Atleat it did what it said

THE ACTION NEVER STOPS.

[EMaster9]

That guy caught air on that slide. I've never come close to catching air on any slide, that's just dangerous, and they put it in a commercial? I guess everything they say about this park is true lol

[blackrogue162]

That Alpine slide was deadly. I was nearly skinned alive in 85...LOL!!! Best time ever.

[travelsonic]

0:27 why didn't they keep that, given how many water parks have versions of this that are perfectly safe?

[travelsonic]

Mountain Creek removed the Kamikaze slide not the past summer, but the summer before [2009, last time I went on it funnily enough]. Sure, it wasn't the most "action-y" of Action Park's originals, but still leaves an empty hole in that nostalgic soul.

[augustrosa]

@Lronsjetpack Take it easy... this park fucking ruled. Read the wiki page funniest article to read. BOAT RIDE INFESTED WITH SNAKES!!! hahahaha Boy do I miss it :(

[figment1988]

@augustrosa and this was before Samuel L. Jackson showed his hatred towards "muthafuckin' snakes"

[sehguh1]

Looks like a good place...

TO DIE!

[VeeDeLarge]

**FUN FACT**: Action Park actually employed someone that would stand by the exit and eviscerate you with a meat clever if you happened to walk out without any injuries or body bags.

[MuddleThrough4yrs]

They say the Alpine Slide was made of fiberglass, but I beg to differ. It was made of the skins of its victims!

[leo12namath]

back in the day when people were tough and didnt cry about everything like this generation.

[Lronsjetpack]

@leo12namath

1980 death by head rock smashing alpine slide

1982 two deaths within a week of each other

1984 two deaths

five insurance fraud related charges

nearby hospital said they treated from five to ten victims of park accidents on some of the busiest days, and the park eventually bought the township of Vernon extra ambulances to keep up with the volume

thats not a generations fault thats an UNSAFE PARK and why i got legally fucked and closed down.

[leo12namath]

@Lronsjetpack you know whats funny,now that i look back i remember seeing ambulances parked outside all the time but never thought twice about it,the only thing i saw that was really brutal was this kid smacking his head on a that underground pipe slide into the water.

[travelsonic]

1993 Action Park and Six Flags fought over advertising - and who copied one another.

[youknowyourrite1]

@leo12namath shut the fuck up cause no one knows what generation your talking about. my childhood was in the 90's and i sure as shit don't cry about everything, but then again i'm not a sadistic fuck and personally think your a fucking idiot if you want to go to an amusement park just to hurt and possibly kill yourself. if you mean the kids theses days, as in the technology addicted, justin beiber loving generation then i think i wholeheartedly agree with you

[Clay3613]

@youknowyourrite1 The 90's was pretty awful...music and clothewise.

[anniangel]

im so scared of water parks now . omfg .

[OnTheRunSinceBirth]

I remember this commercial well. Action Park was the shit especially that huge drop ,I remember all the lifeguard people would be like NO DIVING and it was so funny cause dudes would laugh and proceed  to do some triple dive shit. LMAO

[JaredKinter1981]

@OnTheRunSinceBirth Hey for us Tri-States Kids It was our Rite Of Passage

[93hondablk]

I got hurt in this park when was like 8 years old on the alpine slide with my cousin....some stupid bitch stopped in the middle of the track and we were going down full speed! Me and my cousin flew off the track tumbling down the mountian at least 20 ft. I still have the scars on my arm

[JaredKinter1981]

I am Petitioning to have Action Park Reopened! Do a google(Topeka) search for Reopening of Action Park in Vernon NJ and please sign it!!!!

[guruatomik]

@JaredKinter1981 When your petition is full, who will you send it to? The people who don't own it?

Action park closed down because the insurance and liability costs were disproportionate to profit margins.

Somebody might be able to run the park at a profit if they made everyone who entered sigh a 5 page legal waiver but the amount of legal and economic hurdles faced by Action Park make re-opening near inviable.

[JaredKinter1981]

@guruatomik Look some of the big reasons that Action Park had so many problems was #1 the majority of the Staff was underage.....#2 Ride design was still primitive........3# Poor staff training. Its 2010 now, Ride design has greatly improved, they could hire staff that whom are at least over the age of 21 whom would be properly trained in ride operation and safety. And for your information i would send the petition to Palace Entertainment whom currently owns Mountain Creek Water Park.

[dadsoldtapes]

@JaredKinter1981 The water rides are all still there plus new rides like High Anxiety and Alpine Pipeline... the only thing great about action park that you can't do at Mountain Creek now was being able to be drunk and high and get away with it.

[JaredKinter1981]

@dadsoldtapes I know that much. But everything else is gone. The Tank Ride is a Vacant Lot now, The Super Kart track is a Condominium Complex. The Alpine Slide Trail can still be seen if you ride the Gondola.

[GrottenGal860]

@JaredKinter1981 the alpine slide was the thing that really messed people up lol, i wish they had just fixed the elements that caused injury and kept the sweet name, ACTION PARK! i miss it :[ the 90's were the best time for everything i went in 1995, i'm upset now i know it is lame

[GrottenGal860]

@JaredKinter1981 they changed it up too much all the cool rides are gone, there are some things left but it doesn't look as cool :[

[JaredKinter1981]

@GrottenGal860 I know...........A piece of NJ History wiped out.

[CC927]

I remember Action Park. It's not the same being renamed Mountain Creek.

[YuccaPucca]

this makes me feel depressed... dunno why

[TheAquaLovee]

Need a traumatizing place for the family this summer? Well Traction Park has 75 of the most terrorizing, life threatening rides in the world!

Traction Park, where the pain never stops!

[glynnracing79]

@TheAquaLovee best place to go.

[Homer79163]

That slide at the end of the commercial was my FAVORITE! It had roller pins all the way down and when you got to the pool you skimmed it like a stone, it was so much fun... Best place ever

[sonique291]

also known as traction park

[butnut11]

The fear of death added to the excitement!! Great memories...

[rev4life03]

the one place where you can show up to work stoned/wasted and not get in trouble XD

[gopconservative78]

Killing people since 1978

[garetharogers]

how many people died in the filming of this commerical

[zeioIIDX]

@garetharogers

LOL, that's messed up! This place seems like something out of a bad dream...how did it ever get built?!

[pink1222]

@garetharogers i was gonna type the same thing, that place was a death trap..

[HardRock2Day]

@garetharogers 20-25 XD

[travelsonic]

Good thing a majority of the Action Park waterworld rides are still there in some form.

[Phishphantom]

This place was so damn fun!!!!

Wish they kept the race cars at the mountain creek=)
