Podcasts about Action Park

Since the late nineteenth century, amusement parks have been providing countless hours of enjoyment for people all around the world. Often driven by the latest technology and advances in mechanical engineering, the thrill rides at parks like Disney Land, Great America, and other independent parks offer a controlled environment to experience terror and excitement. While these rides, and the parks in general, are very safe and held to strict safety standards, there are times when the unthinkable happens—a cable snaps, a safety harness breaks—and the once safe ride becomes a nightmare for passengers. Far more often than not, tragic amusement park accidents are the result of human foolishness or, far less often, operator error. But other times, they are a bizarre fluke; a one in a million mechanical problem no one saw coming. Either way, the results can be shocking, horrifying, and even deadly.

I begin this podcast episode by talking about my own trips to Action Park. I was so excited to go as a kid when I visited and got to go because it was close to where my uncle lived in Northern New Jersey. My mother was not a big fan of amusement parks unless they were connected to Disney, and she had started reading enough about Action Park to be worried. My uncle did not have the same concerns, so he took me there and I had a great time. I rode what I could, brought home brochures, talked about it all summer, and assumed I would keep going back. That didn't happen. Then I talk about how Action Park came to be. The story starts with Gene Mulvihill, Great Gorge, Vernon Valley, and the problem of what a ski resort is supposed to do when the weather gets warm. The Alpine Slide came first, and from there the place kept growing into something much larger. Action Park was built around participation, which meant you were not simply strapped into a ride and moved along. You had some control, or at least the feeling of control, and that was a big part of what made the park so exciting. Of course, that same idea also made the place dangerous. In the episode, I get into the rides people still talk about, including the Alpine Slide and the Cannonball Loop. I also spend time on the wave pool, Motor World, and some of the other attractions that helped make Action Park feel less like a normal amusement park and more like its own strange world. Looking back now, it is much easier to see how quickly excitement could turn into something else. The darker part of the Action Park story is impossible to avoid. I talk about the deaths and injuries connected to the park, along with the lawsuits and insurance problems that followed it for years. Some of what happened there is shocking even if you already know the general reputation. The park has become famous as a place that probably should not have been allowed to operate the way it did, and there is plenty of truth in that version of the story. But I did not want this episode to be only about the worst things that happened there. For a lot of kids from New Jersey and the surrounding area, Action Park was a summer trip people talked about afterward. It was a place that felt enormous, especially if you were young enough to believe you could eventually get to everything. The danger is part of the story, but so is the memory of wanting to go back. That is what makes Action Park such a strange subject for me. The stories about the park are real, and some are worse than I understood when I was young. At the same time, my own connection to the place is still tied to being a kid who thought he had found the most exciting park in New Jersey. My last trip there had already happened before I knew it, which may be part of why the place stayed so large in my mind. Action Park does not fit neatly into one version of itself, and that is why it still feels worth talking about.

Waterparks are the result of humanity's hubris of science.In this one, Ian and Liv revisit one of their favorite episodes for Disaster Hour's 3rd Birthday: Action Park! Throughout the 1980s, Action Park was an outdoor waterpark with waterslides that were straight out of a Stephen King novel. They were dangerous, exhilarating, and built with zero professional architects or rollercoaster engineers. Guests were injured, the park faced lawsuits, and the owner continued dodging the law for decades. Welcome to Action Park! Also, Justinepremieres as a new guest. Liv doesn't know how to use a calculator. Libby has imaginary friends. Dylan continues winning at life. Bob jumped off a cliff once. Ian confuses Tony Hawk and Stephen Hawking.

What if there was an amusement park where management literally did not care about safety? What if the danger of dying was part of the allure? What if millions of people flocked to the park to experience a culture of lawlessness, free from the harsh rules and draconian safety precautions of most theme parks?

Without Your Head podcast with writers/directors Adam Dubin (Murder at the Front Row, A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica) and Douglas diMonda of the new slasher film "Traction Park Massacre" that just premiered at New York Comic Com! Hosted by Nasty Neal! "Inspired by visiting the infamous New Jersey amusement park Action Park as teens, Dubin and DiMonda have created a modern-day 80s-style slasher film about a group of young friends who meet a gang of outlaw bikers who meet feral twin psycho-killers in a notorious abandoned amusement park. Based upon an actual legendary amusement park, Traction Park Massacre tells the bloody tale of the chaotic and charismatic "Terror Twins", Otto and Emil Von Metzger as played by Kai Thomas Schulz and Bodhi Schulz (American Horror Story), who inhabit the burned out remains of Action Wonderland and hunt those thrill seekers foolish enough to attempt to find the remains of the abandoned park. Who will survive? Probably no one."

Today is a day where we let our interests dictate the flow. We discuss everything from the Three Rivers Dam in China, to waste management, to the museumification of society. We also talk Mark Twain, Animorphs, and the infamous Action Park.

On The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel rips into a media obsessed with fluff while ignoring hard truths. From the Charlie Kirk case to George Floyd's death, he emphasizes reasonable doubt in stories the press won't touch. Lionel later argues that the Jimmy Kimmel story distracts from uncovering the truth about Charlie Kirk's death. He breaks down the facts of the case before talking about Frankie Valli's appearance to the internet sensation that is Guy Goma. Lionel starts the third hour discussing how the George Floyd case was tragic, but not criminal. He later rambles about Marvin Van Peebles' films, disco history and his hatred of dancing.
