Nestled in the verdant hills of Vernon, New Jersey, Action Park earned a notorious reputation as "The World's Most Dangerous Amusement Park" during its heyday from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. Founded by entrepreneur Gene Mulvihill, this unique amusement park offered visitors an unparalleled level of freedom and thrills, often at the expense of safety.
Action Park was renowned for its daring and often poorly engineered rides, which pushed the boundaries of conventional amusement park design. Attractions like the Cannonball Loop, a waterslide with a complete vertical loop, and the Alpine Slide, a concrete luge track notorious for causing injuries, became legendary for their inherent risks. The park's lax safety regulations and minimal oversight led to numerous accidents, resulting in countless injuries and several tragic fatalities.
Action Park's infamy lives on in pop culture and the memories of those who visited and were lucky enough to not get hurt or killed. Today, while Action Park no longer exists in its original form, its spirit and stories continue to captivate and terrify new generations.
