Action Park in Vernon, NJ is back after an almost 20 year hiatus and is hoping to live down it's reputation as the world's most dangerous amusement park.
The park was first open between 1978-1996 and quickly gained a reputation as "Traction Park" or "Class Action Park" due to the sheer number of injuries over that period. There were 110 reported injuries in just one year, including 45 head injuries and 10 fractures, even though it was fined just once between 1979 and 1986 for not following procedure. Six people also died at Action Park – three in the wave pool alone.
While the park's owners enjoy the "anything goes" reputation, they have now made the safety of the park's patrons their number one priority. Action Park reopened in June 2014.
