Traction Park
July 21, 2008 5:09 PM   Subscribe

Active in the years before padded jungle gyms (and class action lawsuits), Action Park was a sometimes bloody rite of passage for many New Jersey kids. Infamous for its gravity-and-friction-defying looping waterslide and beer gardens, it eventually produced so many injuries that the park bought the surrounding city extra ambulances to cope. It still is alive in many New Jersey hearts today.<-video.

Action Park is now no longer in operation, with a new waterpark named Mountain Creek having inherited its location, but not its dubious safety record. Or watersnakes. Or 40 foot diving cliff located on top of a public swimming area. Or flesh burning fibreglass alpine slide.

Best Shellac Record At Action Park
posted by SmileyChewtrain at 5:17 PM on July 21, 2008


I flipped upside down on a flume ride and landed on my neck. I was stunned, and wound up having the next person in line smash into me while I was gasping for air.

When I recovered, I found myself at the recovery pool at the bottom with a lifeguard glommed onto me. When they figured I wasn't paralyzed or dead, they took me to an office and pressed me to sign a release, and wound up ejecting me when I didn't.

OMFG that place looks awesome!!! The fact that it took so many people out ADDS to the awesomeness.

That full-loop waterslide in the third link is one of the gnarliest things I've ever seen. Any of you mefites who were lucky enough to frequent this place ever try it?

Every summer I would beg to go. Every summer I got to go exactly once. Every summer I lost exactly 36 square inches of skin on the Alpine Slide.

This place was everything right and wrong about the 70s and 80s. Unbelievable fun, but without a thought as to how it would all play out over the years.

Now we're stuck with ex-traders on high blood pressure meds from the coke and Action Park regulars trying to use Glucosamine to repair those worked-over joints.

Thanks for the memories, though. It was truly an amazing place.

On the subject of the looping waterslide from one of the links above

The upside-down waterslide posted above is a shrine to a North Jersey childhood -- it's a totem pole of sorts. Anyone who truly knew what it was like to be ALIVE knew of its existence. No one has actually ever gone down that thing, as it was never open. The two popular myths surrounding it a) the first person who came down the waterslide drowned when he was stuck at the bottom and b) an alleged "test dummy" was sent down and came out decapitated. No matter -- it is just a true testament to the human spirit of what man is capable of doing. The people at Action Park actually believed -- to the point where they spent thousands of dollars in fiberglass costs -- they could defy every known rule of gravity and physics.

When I was a kid we had a similar (though much, much smaller-scale) setup in Townsville, called Willows Water World. It was fun and I went a couple of times down the curvy-wurvy enclosed water slide and everything was jolly, but then some drongo at school ruined it for me by saying that a kid had been opened up from head to toe because people we slowing their descent about halfway down and shoving razor blades and stuff into the seams of the tube. Whether or not this happened I don't know and having a razor intersect rather than run parallel doesn't strike me as a great way to cut something open, but yeah. Anyway, a few years later some drunken JCU students broke in at night, climbed to the top of the slide, poured petrol down it, and then tossed in a match. So that was the end of that.

omg action park:

I saw Weinerville (old nickelodeon show, google it) there!! My dad got weinerized and everything (that sounds worse then it is). We had a backpack full of weinerville memorabilia that was stolen from the cubbies (dad, what were you thinking?) while we were getting violated by the slides. Somehow my dad got Mark Weiner's home phone number and he sent us some signed postcards saying "sorry for your loss". The backpack was found in the woods later, weinerville schwag intact. My dad's wallet was nearly empty though.

They had these utterly terrifying pictures of alpine slide injuries while you waited for your turn. Skin sloughed clean off. I don't know how they expected children to want to ride that thing after seeing those pictures. It was like looking at pictures of stds before a rendez-vous with a gloryhole. Years later, you had to sign a waiver before riding it (I think it applied to everything else at the park too)

They had these teenage makeout caves in the public swimming area too. You could go underwater and come up in a graffiti encrusted bubble that was like some ghetto underage playboy grotto.

Some kid took a dump in the pool at the end of the tube ride.

They had a slide that was only a few feet long that had a 20 ft drop under it. It caused you to smack on the water instead of sliding in. My dad had marks on his back for weeks.

I could have sworn that I saw the loop-de-loop slide open once, everyone coming out looked hurt.

Last thing: Does anyone remember the wierd monorail shuttle thing that went from the dry part of the park to the water park? It was a metal bench with no sides. the only thing that kept you in was a lap bar that any child could have easily fallen through (I almost did). I can't believe no one got hurt on that.

"State Road 94 ran through the middle of the park. Meaning there were only two ways to get to either side of Action Park -- either by running across a major state highway or by taking a train over a bridge to get to the other side. On an altar boy trip I wasn't allowed to go on, childhood friends Kevin Gallagher and Dave Kearns were riding the train on the bridge when it suddenly burst into flames. Dave escaped unharmed, Kevin was caught on the bridge, suffered a 1st degree burn and then fractured an ankle leaping off the bridge to safety."

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I wish I was there back in the 80's wearing some neon green shorts and pink zinc oxide on my nose with some flipped up visor accentuating my feathered bangs.

This also reminds me, I always wanted to get hammered drunk at the island bar at my local water park and just float in the lazy river all afternoon long, with a large serving of dippin dots and a blended pina colada*.

I was only at Action Park once (we made a family trip up there) and I really don't remember most of it, as I was young and not really paying attention, but what I do remember is the Colorado Rapids Ride or something where you got this big-ass tube at the bottom of the ride and then had to lug it up a hill to get to the start of the ride. My dad was none too happy about carrying that tube.

For what its worth, I loved Action Park. I had an absolute blast there and left mostly intact each time.

That said, unlike the allegedly unsafe playgrounds I grew up with in the 1970's (currently being discussed in another FPP), yeah, I pretty much agree that Action Park probably deserved every lawsuit it received. Great fun, but arguably the most dangerous thing I did in my youth.

And I would include deliberate encounters with wild animals, attempts at creating make-shift explosives and regular attempts at crossing I-84 by foot at night on that list.
posted by Joey Michaels at 6:35 PM on July 21, 2008


It's still mostly there

The Gauley! That's the one where some man grabbed my wrist and kept me from sinking into the urine laced liquid abyss. The slide was designed alternating dips and whirlpools. It was set up so your tube would be knocked from the whirlpools down the dips by the tubist behind you. If you were a 60 lb ten year old and the person behind you was 200 lbs dude, it got pretty scary.

This place was a strange combination of totally fucking insane and totally fucking awesome. My personal favorite ride was the water slide where, at the end, you shot out of a blind tunnel, at high speed, from maybe fifteen feet above the surface of a little grotto pool where other kids were swimming.

You never knew who you were going to land on, until after you had knocked them unconscious and to the bottom of the pool.

Indescribably awesome. I would've loved to have had something like this as a kid. The waterparks of my youth were fortified plastic, rounded-corner affairs where you really had to go out of your way to hurt yourself. The idea that you could maim yourself or even die just using the attractions as they were intended would've really heightened the thrill. Which makes me wonder whether it might've been part of Action Park's marketing strategy to brand itself as the scariest, deadliest amusement part in the Tri-State area. It obviously didn't work out for them in the end, but a little casual negligence here and there in the design and upkeep process surely gave them a boost.

Oh yeah...the alpine slide was the best. Especially if you got one of the extra-slidey carts. I remember getting one that was so good I got whiplash when I hit the tires at the end. Also props to supermedusa - I didn't remember the Tarzan swing until now but damn that was cold.

I didn't do the loop waterslide as my dad - who would encourage me to do pretty much any insane sporting activity known to man - thought it might be a bit of a bad idea.

I'm sorry but that's hilarious. I imagine the conversation going something like this:
Kid: "How do we get to the other side?"
Employee: "Well, you can either run across this busy highway or get on board the train of terror, which may or may not explode at any time. So, you've got options."

Random ActionPark memories...

-an aquaintance who resold coin lockers on busy days
-the fear that the water was in fact urine to a subtantial degree
-the bus from newark that had to be searched and its passengers relieved of many other parkgoers wallets, purses and walkmen

Christ! So many people from where I grew up here. I miss it sometimes.

This is pretty wimpy compared to the horrors of Action Park, but when I was a kid we'd sometimes camp at Rock Glen, which had (it might still be there; I haven't been there in years) a fairly ordinary water slide...ordinary aside from the fact that the sections of the slide had been cheaply/incompetently welded together so that every weld had a slightly raised/jagged edge that had begun to rust. If you spent an afternoon sliding down it you'd be scraped and sometimes bleeding by the end of the day. It was tetanus-riffic!

Wow I miss Action Park. Even the mini-golf was this crazily-landscaped course planted on the side of a steep hill.

The sad secret of the Alpine Slide was that you get a crazy, awesome, death-defying, inches from hurtling off the track and dropping 25 feet into rocks and thorn bushes, mind-bending-thrill-ride....once...ever. Every single other time you went you'd go 20 feet and crash into some fat mom going 5 miles an hour and pray you didn't get wiplash as every kid behind you plowed into the growing train of slowness.

And I credit the urine/water blend for my relatively strong germ resistance today.

Jesus, Alpine Slide. It was like those STREETS OF DEATH videos they used to make you watch in high school driver's ed. Really disgusting stuff. But what are you going to do at that point? Beg them to let you ride the ski lift back down while everyone points and mocks you? So you climb on some rusty piece of shit that slides all over the place with the loosest "steering" and brakes you can imagine and just pray not to die. Pray like your life depended on it, which it might have.

Good times.

Action Park. I think I used up my lifetime quota of stupid within my first ten minutes there. I'm still gobsmacked at how much that place ruled.

Betty_effn_White: I remember that waterslide with the 20-foot drop. It was right next to a conventional waterslide that went all the way down to the same pool. There were two lines, and you couldn't really see the course of the slide from where it started. I got in the short line. Went in foot-first, and got a nosebleed. Rock.

That is about the most perfect summary of Action Park ever. Cool stuff operated on the margins so as to be life-threatening.

I've spent 2 weeks just about every year of my life at the ocean, in the surf, and consider myself a pretty strong swimmer in rough conditions. At least above-average. Goddamn if the wave pool at Action Park didn't scare the piss out of me the one time I went there. Considering most everybody else there seemed to be city kids, with probably no experience in anything choppier than a public pool or one of the mellow NYC/LI beaches, it's amazing that thing didn't take more lives (it did kill two.)

And the Alpine Slide -- I dunno, there are Alpine Slides all over the place and I'd been on a lot of them but there was definitely something sinister about the one at Action Park. It's certainly the only one that left me with road rash from scraping random body parts on the concrete trough while whipping around the curves half-on, half-off the track. And to add insult to injury, that son-of-a-bitch took my genuine Consolidated Freightways hat. It's probably still on the side of the mountain somewhere.

The (lack of) attention to safety carried over to the winter. I used to love night skiing at Vernon Valley because at the time (late '80s) it was the only place I knew of where snowboarders pretty much had free reign to do whatever they wanted (or maybe there were rules with lax enforcement -- I don't know.) The boarders would go up there and build jumps and troughs and such and we immortal college-aged skiiers (courage enhanced by the beers served at the since-burned-down base lodge) would hit 'em all, and generally not get too hurt. Made what was a so-so hill with grindingly-slow lifts kind of a blast -- and close to home to boot. Though it was the only place I've ever wound up off the trail, upside-down (after hitting a 'boarder bump, of course) wondering if I'd ever make it out alive. Never been swallowed by a tree well in all my years of backcountry but almost got killed at Vernon Valley. Yeah, that's pretty Action Park.

Damn, I miss that place.

I loved action park in my teens and early 20's - most summers I made the trip at least once. The foam rubber coated river runs were the best thing in the park - a mini mountain with 3-4 different river runs which you could take in either single tubes or large 4 (6?) person tubes. There were visits where I spent my whole day on those tubes. I survived mostly intact despite all my visits. My favorite 'injury' came from the 3 story vertical water slide. Early 20's, more than a little loaded, my buddy and I didn't hear the instructions from the attendant to keep our legs crossed on the way down, or maybe he forgot to tell us. Few things will get you crossing your legs quicker than water shooting into your groin as you free fall from ~3 stories up. I came off that ride shrieking in pain and realized that water had shot right into me, the world's least expected enema. Best part was looking over at my friend and realizing the same thing had happened to him, and the two of us, doubled over in discomfort, waddled off in desperate search of a rest room.

Gross, I know. It was more than 20 years ago and time heals all wounds. My friends and I nicknamed the park action enema after that, which has gotten me a few strange looks over the years.

Oh, and the go carts were awesome. Their policy of giving you a free lap if you could catch up to the person in front of you or beat the current fastest lap time meant everyone was incented to drive like a lunatic. Those karts were built to move and you could get them in truly impressive powerslides.

Ah, the screaming tarzan swing into the frigid rocky pool...and the tube-slide into the same pool, pitch dark in that slippery padded tunnel.

...the frustration of being caught behind some slow-ass MF on the alpine slide

..and the mat-slide hill where ever track got progressively steeper and faster, until the final ones where each bump tossed you in the air

...and the tennis-ball-firing tanks in the dry part of the park, and the "formula" racing cars we were never old enough to drive (but we dreamed, oh yes we dreamed)

I would have been there when I was about 12, having grown up in Philadelphia. I only have a snapshot of a memory of the place, but it's a snapshot of my 10 year old cousin, completely in the air with limbs splayed, between the two Alpine Slide tracks, about to land immediately in front of me after being rear-ended and ejected by his 12 year old sister. He actually rolled in front of my cart, log-style, before I finally ran him over...

(I wish I remember what happened afterwards, mainly because his parents were the ones who, after he came back completely covered in road rash after an ill-advised skateboarding trip, told him chlorine was good for cuts and threw him into the deep end of their pool. I can still hear the screams...)
