“[Action Park] one of the first American waterparks. Many of Action Park’s attractions were unique, attracting thrill-seekers from across the New York City metro area. The park’s popularity went hand in hand with a reputation for poorly-designed, unsafe rides; inattentive, underaged employees; intoxicated, unprepared visitors; and the consequently poor safety record.”
