Product Overview
From Follett
"Relates the story of the legendary, dangerous amusement park in New Jersey where millions were entertained and almost as many bruises were sustained, told through the eyes of the founder's son"--OCLC.
From the Publisher
Often called 'Accident Park,' 'Class Action Park,' or 'Traction Park,' Action Park was an American icon. Entertaining more than a million people a year in the 1980s, the amusement playland placed no limits on danger or fun. Though it closed its doors in 1996 after nearly twenty years, it has remained a subject of constant fascination ever since, an establishment completely anathema to our modern culture of rules and safety. Action Park is the first-ever unvarnished look at the history of this DIY Disneyland, as seen through the eyes of the park's idiosyncratic founder.
