Action Park Wikipedia Entry

[BeanoNYC]

Just came across this perfectly written wikipedia entry for Accident Park. It's a great read, especially for those who have been there. I think back at those days and still can't believe that this place existed.

Wow. That's a blast from the past. I remember my parents taking me there when I was like 10. I think I remember having a good time...

I begged and begged but my parents never took us. I guess it worked out for the best.

On August 1, 1993, MTV's Headbanger's Ball taped an episode at the park. The host, Riki Rachtman, interviewed and went on the rides with the band Alice In Chains.

I wonder if that's on youtube?

That place was cool! I went there a few times as a kid and had a lot of fun. I was bummed when I looked into going back after high school and they were closed...

I always wanted to go there but my parents wouldn't take me because of their dangerous reputation..so we would go to Dorney, Hershey, Busch Gardens and Six Flags..that looping slide looks so dangerous..broken limb city...wowser..

Here is the commercial for stoke!!!!

I went there once in my 20's, I remember that the water was freezing. It was also known as Traction Park.

They're not really closed, it's just called the Mountain Creek Water Park but I think they got rid of the most dangerous attractions.

I think when I looked they were closed all together (in between Action park and Mountain Creek), but I could be wrong. Besides the dangerous attractions were probably the ones I liked. :lol:

It's a long way for me to go just for a few generic water slides. I've got those near-by.

Wow. Makes me kind of glad my parents never brought me there.

You keep reading into the propaganda Gramps..

Naw, you missed out!

Count me on the list of people begging to go there, who's parents wouldn't let me.

But we skied there all the time when it was VV/GG.
