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.

Hi Therese! I’ve been weirdly obsessed with Action Park ever since seeing a pic of the Cannonball Loop back around 1999. Although I’ve never been to NJ this park has hovered in the back of my head for decades. I remember lurking on this blog back in 2004 and just laughiymy head off at all of the (extremely well-written) posts. I’ve since passed the mythology of this park onto my kids and told them many of the stories here. Last weekend I discovered the Class Action Park doc and we all heard the first-aid-pen-gift tale I had told them for ages and they finally believed me. Loved this blog back in the day and hope you realize what a legend this place is and how early this blog contributed to it.
Back to lurking and listening to you interview John Hodgman. I feel like an honorary Action Park visitor just vicariously and without injuries. Cheers to you and yours and Bouncy and Fish and the Frenchman’s testicles!
