Located in Vernon, NJ in the 1980's, Action Park was a hotbed of rebellious teenagers looking to test the limits of their bodies. Combined with the limitless alcohol and poorly-trained teenage ride operators, this turned out to be grounds for disaster. Accidents were an everyday hazard at Action Park that most park visitors acknowledged. But deaths were another matter altogether. Action Park entertained over a million visitors per year during the 1980's, with as many as 12,000 coming on some of the busiest weekends.
