Fuckin' Action Park

The fact that people reminisce fondly of going to a death park is astounding

If the terrordome were built people would wax nostalgic about it

No doubt in my mind. Just look at all the people who yearn for sports leagues to allow players violently mangle themselves until they're completely disabled.

The most dangerous part of that park is present in almost all waterparks and if you've been in a wave pool or two there's a chance you swam in the same pool that someone died in

Yep

I almost died at the wave pool at Noah's Ark when I was six

So, I found my weird Communist quirk

Death to wave pools

When he was a kid, my dad went to the original Action Park. A few years ago, he took me. When he came in, he said "There's some things missing, but it seems the same otherwise."

Action Park had a reputation for poorly designed rides, undertrained and underaged staff, intoxicated guests and staff, and a consequently poor safety record. At least six people are known to have died as a result of mishaps on rides at the park.

What the actual fuck lmao
