I think Action Park went the way of Kangaroo sneakers (though they may have just renamed it). I used to come home from that place bruised and bloody.

LOL, I remember we used to call it "Traction Park!" You couldn't go more than 45 minutes without seeing the small golf cart ambulance they had, taking another wounded thrill seeker to the infirmary! And the dreaded Alpine Slide!!!! I have some nice scars on my elbows from that! So Dave, you from the "tri-state area?"

Yup, basically Nassau County. But the problem with Action Park (Alpine Slide notwithstanding) was that you had to climb jaggety, slippery rocks to get to the top of a water slide. And bare feet and jaggerty rocks don't mix. I've given up on water parks - now I just stick to Six Flags Great Adventure.

Action Park... wow, I have quite a few scars thanks to that place. I have no clue what the status of that part is, but I seem to remember it closing, at least temporarily when something like 4 people in one week got seriously hurt.
I'm in Union County by the way.

Looks like it's still open, but it was renamed, and most of the more "aggressive" rides are gone.
