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.

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.

Cyriaque Lamar's post on the cannonball loop over at io9 included a lengthy quote from the COTA. I am delighted, as the site is a daily read for me and my go-to source for Doctor Who news.
