From what I've heard, EVERY ride in Action Park is dangerous. Hell, the park has their own paramedic trucks because people keep getting hurt and the park refuses to change.
I honestly was nervous going into this video. So many videos like this have rides like The Smiler and Mindbender and Superman: Ride of Steel. Aka very safe rides that tragically had accidents. Thank you for doing your research and finding actually dangerous rides. Good video.

Kingda ka in six flags NJ is really fun but, when they first shoot the car up it goes so fast that if you move at all, you have whiplash. Happened to me and ruined the rest of the day cause my neck hurt so bad.
At our local water park, our waterslides have a high wall or clear plastic tube, to prevent the rider from falling out.
I have seen an article on that one teenager falling to his death not too long ago while looking through old stuff from Wisconsin Dells. That was tragic.
What about the one rollar coaster used for death row inmates
I have watched 3 videos with Action park in them and I'm still hungry for more of it.
If you ever get to my neck of the woods in Maine, I highly recommend Funtown Splashtown or Palace Playland. I've gone since I can remember, although I haven't been back to them to ride rides since before the pandemic. Also, Funtown Splashtown has Excalibur, a wooden rollercoaster that's the only one in my state, and it's also the tallest and longest wooden coaster in Northeast New England.
My home park is Cedar Point. We've had our fair share of incidents. The old Shoot the Rapids water ride had one of its boats flip over in 2013, sending one person to the hospital. In 2015 a guest hopped the fence under the Raptor roller coaster while it was in operation and was struck by the train. He was killed instantly. And most recently, a guest was struck by a piece of metal that became dislodged from the Top Thrill Dragster while she was in line. There's been no updates on her condition.
I’m from NJ, USA. It’s the home of Action Park. That place was notorious for lots of serious injuries and some fatalities. We called it “Traction Park” and “Class Action Park”. I went it to it many times. It’s amazing I survived.
Love from the spooky Pine Barrens in NJ.
If you watch the video of the teenager falling to his death from the Orlando free fall it’s one of the most graphic and traumatizing videos to ever see. Luckily his body from when he hit the ground is blurred up but the impact is so terrifying along with the other people screaming “Stop the ride!” The kid had such a bright future ahead of him
P.S there was a weight limit on the ride and he ended up being over it.
Really thoughtful and interesting video. These events are always tragic, and everything should be done to avoid these accidents.
Another awful case happened in the Tibidabo amusement park in Barcelona, Spain; they had a ride called "el péndulo"/ "el pèndol"; as the name indicates, it was a gigantic pendulum which swung a four-seater cabin back and forth. It opened in July 2006, and lasted for 4 years until tragedy struck; the whole structure fell apart mid-ride, resulting in the death of one of the four passengers, and serious injuries for the other three.
The horrible death of that 14-year old girl became a huge press scandal in Spain at the time, and the ten technicians currently working on the ride got two years of prison each for manslaughter. Since then, the theme park has uttey demolished and replaced that ride, going for a more wholesome, family-friendly approach ever since, avoiding the construction of any more large thrill rides. It took them years of brand Changing to clean their name.
Today I learned that Sydney, Australia has a mafia.
I was born and raised in NJ. Action Park was one of our favorite places, and it was sooooo fun! Back then we didn’t realize the dangers. The “grave pool” was the creepiest, the alpine slide was just so fun (we didn’t get hurt obviously), and the icy mountain water in the one weird slide I just couldn’t bring myself to do.
We had a group of friends who would all go to Action Park, it’s was part of our late-teen, early 20’s fun!
Thank Goodness we never got hurt, just super-fun memories!
There was a blue water slide built into the mountain that was really cool!
The whitewater rafting thing (if I’m thinking of the same park!) was scary but also fun.
We didn’t know any better, but being born and raised on the Jersey shore with the Atlantic and Barnegat Bay as our “playgrounds”, we knew how to “just let the water take you down a few beaches in a riptide”, we were taught to swim at VERY young ages.
Such different, fun times I’ll always have as memories!

What are you doing in a wave pool if you can't swim? I can't feel sorry for people earning Darwin awards.
I saw this report that in Drayton Manor, an 11 year old schoolgirl was killed on the River Rapids ride, after standing up. It's just tragic!
SoB was set to be a disaster from the start, with how the manufacturer essentially offered a cheap price to get the go-ahead, then delivered a subpar quality product under a shell company to prevent legal action against them. As a result, all lawsuits went to the park itself, and this meant when the park ownership changed, the new owners eventually did not see a good way to keep it open with the tangle of lawsuits, so they closed it. Shame wooden conversions weren't as big of a thing back then, would've been a perfect subject to turn into a hybrid.
Are all slingshots dangerous- there is one at a theme park near my house
I have become a new fan and subscriber! Love these kind of videos!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I was wondering when action Park was going to make it on here I love that number one is basically the entire park

Yea as a person living in wisconsin I can give some insight into the matter
Mnt. Olympus here is known as a sort of Hell hole,the rides and waterpark are pretty boring or outright bad and they have incredibly shitty matanince and safety standards
They bought up alot of old hotels and motels in the area and have done nothing to improve them, you can find bedbugs and worse in these hotels and they do nothing to fix these problems, wont even try
If you want to go to a theme park in the dells go to Noah's Ark because it isnt super shitty
Love your voice 🤩
Yep great point!!! better boring than exploding any day.
Hey please correct me if I'm wrong, but was the clip of the green coaster near the begining "Helix" from Liseberg? Noticed "Kvasten" from Gröna Lund right after it so was just wondering (since both theme parks are located in Sweden)
Oh my god, I live near Kings Island
And somehow I never knew that The Beast had a sequel that resulted in serious injuries
It’s fitting that the F1 death coaster was built at the Nurburgring
Just found your channel. Lol love it !!
