Action Park, a mix of theme park/water park located in Vernon, New Jersey, on the Vernon Valley mountain site, was known for the excessive danger of its attractions and the incredible number of visitors who were injured or killed while visiting the park. . (At least six died and countless were injured.) Fortunately, the wonderful story will soon come to HBO Max in the form of the upcoming documentary Class Action Park, named after one of the park’s nicknames (also used: Traction Park). We now have a preview and release date for the document, and you probably wouldn’t have to wait long for all the stunning splendor of Action Park.
Described as “the legend of the world’s most damaging theme park,” this documentary promises to be the ultimate theme/water park story, which captivated and terrorized many thrill seekers in its brief opening between 1978 and 1996. (If you grew up in New England, it was a kind of legend; like Camp Crystal Lake with water slides.) He has encouraged countless YouTube videos, a recent nonfiction e-book and a very bad Johnny Knoxville film, but it’s the first film to investigate the park’s madness. The official press release states that “for the first time, fans, new and old, will be able to revel first-hand in the madness of this dangerous water park through genuine photographs and testimonies.” Describing the design and format of the documentary, the official press release reads: “To avoid the traps of nostalgia, the film uses newly discovered and unpublished documents and recordings, original animations and interviews with others who revel in the true story for the first time. We can’t wait.
Class Action Park, directed by Chris Charles Scott and Seth Porges, will premiere on Thursday, August 27 (very soon!). See the new logo poster below.
