The world’s most dangerous amusement park isn’t a Six Flags with a poorly maintained wooden coaster, and it isn’t a park in some faraway country with fewer laws and regulations. Action Park was a New Jersey summertime amusement park which was advertised as fun for the whole family.

However, it wasn’t that – it was a dangerous park just waiting for a lawsuit to happen, except it never had to wait long because there were numerous lawsuits over the years. The park existed in the 1980s-1990s and was notorious in the Jersey area for being a place where you would experience near death. Literally. Six people died while being at Action Park.

The idea behind the park was that instead of going on rides which were controlled by park employees, the attendees were in control. “You control the action”, is what the old TV commercials you find online boast. Here’s why Action Park was referred to as Class Action Park by the people who lived near it.

If you grew up near New Jersey, the chances are pretty good that the mere sight of those words floods your brain with feelings of dread, doom, and possibly the memories of at least a few scars—if not the time of your life.

It was known as a lawless land, ruled by drunk teenage employees and frequented by even drunker teenage guests. The rides were experimental and illogical, and seemed to ignore even the most basic notions of physics or common sense—not to mention safety.
