- Action_Park abstract "Action Park was an amusement park located in Vernon, New Jersey, USA. The park was located on the grounds of what is now part of the Mountain Creek and Crystal Springs Resort ski areas in Vernon and was open from 1978 until 1996. Action Park was owned and operated by Great American Recreation.It featured three separate attraction areas: an alpine slide, Motorworld, and Waterworld. The lattermost was one of the first American water parks. Many of its attractions were unique, attracting thrillseekers from across the New York City metro area. The park's popularity went hand-in-hand with a reputation for poorly designed, unsafe rides; underaged, undertrained, and often under-the-influence staff; intoxicated, unprepared visitors; 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. It was given nicknames such as "Traction Park", "Accident Park", and "Class Action Park" by doctors at nearby hospitals due to the number of severely injured parkgoers they treated. Little action was taken by state regulators despite a history of repeat violations. In its later years personal-injury lawsuits forced the closure of more and more rides and finally the park itself in 1996.Intrawest purchased the property and in 1998, many of the water attractions were reopened as Mountain Creek Waterpark. With a vastly increased emphasis on ride safety, the alpine slide and Motorworld areas were eliminated and some new water attractions were added. In 2010, the whole Mountain Creek ski area and waterpark was sold to a group led by Eugene Mulvihill, the former operator of Great Gorge and Action Park.On April 2, 2014, the owners of Mountain Creek announced that they were renaming Mountain Creek Waterpark and bringing the Action Park name back.Two offshoot locations were opened during the course of the 1980s, and were ran either by GAR directly, or through a subsidiary of GAR. One was located in Tannersville, PA, called "Pocono Action Park and Motor World," the other was located in Pine Hill, NJ, and was called Action Park its first year before being renamed Action Mountain for the remainder of its operation. By the early 1990s, both locations were closed. Stony Point Recreation, the subsidiary of GAR that ran Action Mountain, owed $398,697 in back taxes to Pine Hill, and sold the park to pay off their debt. The Pocono location is now the site of The Crossings Outlets in Tannersville, PA.".
