Located in Vernon, NJ, Action Park was the fault of Gene Mulvihill, CEO and founder of Great American Recreation. Mulvihill has been described as quote- "a folksy industrialist in the vein of John Rockefeller, a mad scientist with an oversize toy set or a canny, sometimes pushy businessman who kept politicians in his pocket". Initially intended as a way to keep his ski resort open in the off season, Action Park started the Alpine Slide in '78 and it was all downhill from there.
Whether they called it Traction Park, Accident Park or Class Action Park, the people who got the chance to experience America's deadliest amusement park seem to remember it fondly.
