My, it's been a long, long time!

Hello! 

Perhaps the Class Action Park documentary led you here, or maybe Andy Mulvihill's book Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides and the Untold Story of America's Most Dangerous Amusement Park. Regardless, welcome! Please pardon the dust. Poke around a bit, and thanks for stopping by.

And while you're here, please check out my Action Park special on WFMU, the Freeform Station of the Nation, (featuring interviews with Andy Mulvihill AND Class Action Park narrator John Hodgman!) and a recent chat I had with the two fine ladies of the Fuckin' Jersey podcast.

How Was YOUR Week?

I spoke with the fabulous Julie Klausner about the Park recently. The Onion's AV Club says it's a "very entertaining and funny interview about working at New Jersey’s notoriously unsafe Action Park amusement park as a teenager. " You can listen here.

The Action never stops at Mashable.

My social media feeds are blowing up with this video, featuring Chris Gethard, Park scion Andy Mulvihill, and a plethora of old footage and photos (at least one of which was yanked from this blog). They promise a part 2 later in the week.

Is that an inverted Rebel Alliance logo on the cat's forehead? Regardless, io9 compiled some AMAZING photos of abandoned amusement parks. Check them out here

I'm assuming that the author of this post is referring to the Park. Good to see its reputation lives on when describing New Jersey haphazardness. Though I will say, hills were the one thing Actual Action Park had in abundance.
