The Story of Action Park | Theme Park Accidents | Fascinating Horror

  • 4 years ago
On the 26th of May, 1978, a new attraction opened in the township of Vernon, New Jersey. For the next 20 years this unassuming US town would be the home to Action Park – a theme park and waterpark that would soon become notorious for its terrible safety record. Before the sale of the park to new owners in 1998, six guests would have died while riding its insanely unsafe attractions, and many hundreds of more would have sustained serious injuries.

I tell the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters... but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past. You might be surprised to discover just how much of today's world is shaped by long-forgotten disasters from decades gone by.
