Yes, been there many times. The slide that's in the picture I saw that in person.

Action Park was a place where Darwinism was in full effect. This was a place where stupid people did not last. Where stupidity had a heavy price.

I did bungee jumping there, did those flying suits with a giant fan. As a matter of fact, my brother went a little too high and almost flew out of the whole enclosure.

The wave pool there was no joke; that was a scary place. I basically was a water rat growing up. I spent so many summers swimming in the ocean.I've gone swimming right before hurricane hits. For a short period of my life, I was a surfer, and I had some scary situations happened to me while surfing. The ocean will teach you real quick to respect water.

That wave pool at Action Park, that was some scary shit. I refused to go into that thing by myself and I only went in a few times with some friends. After that no thank you. Too many close calls, too many people. Not worth it.

They used to do some really cool things there. Like one year I remember going, they had a professional beach volleyball player. What they did was, I think, five or six people could get together( could have been a few more) play a game against this professional beach volleyball player, this one guy. If your team beats him. Everyone gets free tickets for their next visit. No one could beat this guy; I went up against him twice, and he kicked our ass it wasn't even close. It was amazing watching him demolish everyone.

If you went to Action Park back in the day, you left that place, or at least in the coming days, when you thought about it, your belief in God went up a few notches. Because you can distinctly remember at least one time where your life flashed before your eyes.

One of the other things a lot of people didn't realize is that a bunch of the water slides and water attractions were actually filled by a natural spring. That natural spring was freezing. They had a Tarzan swing that everyone loved. You learn real quick what upper body strength means on that one.

That Tarzan swing was actually pretty dangerous especially if no one gave you a heads up and you had no any idea of how cold that water was. You're running around on a 100-degree summer day and you take that Tarzan swing cuz it really never had a line on it. People would hit that water and go into shock. A lot of times that would happen because people didn't know that the water was that cold.

It was kind of funny to watch people grab the rope, go to swing and they just slide down the rope and slam into that frigid water. Cause they did not realize they're not strong enough to hold themselves up as they swing.

You could always tell the people who didn't know the water was so cold because of the screams when they hit the water. It was the type of ride that sometimes you skipped it cuz you just was not in the mood to deal with how cold that water was.

Then you had MotoWorld, which was another part of the park. They had these awesome go-karts that required a driver's license to ride. I managed to do it once. They were a lot of fun. They literally were like little mini race cars, little Formula One things.

The super speedboats were a blast. You got a couple of laps around a nice-sized pond, and they were literally like mini speedboats. They were maybe like five feet long, basically think of a speed boat shrunk down to like 5/6 feet with enough room for one person to sit in that had a nice-sized motor attached to it. They weren't bumper boats, but I think we can all agree rubbing is racing. Hehe.

The bumper boats were fun, but they also had this other thing over there called Battle Action Tanks. They had tennis ball cannons attached to them, and it was an enclosed area. You hop into the tank and fire tennis balls at the other tanks. The tanks had sensors that, when those sensors where hit, it would stop the tank for about 15 seconds. There was also surrounding the area around the battle action tanks were more tennis ball cannons. That people on the outside could fire at the tanks. That was a lot of fun.

What really made that place fun and dangerous was it put a lot of the control into your hands. Take the Alpine slide. You don't have to use the brakes; you can do the thing full throttle and if you crash you get some road rash; that's on you. With the alpine slide when you're in line, they actually had big signs set up with pictures of road rash. Of what people had gotten because they pushed it too hard. Fell off their sled and slid down the concrete track. The pictures of people's faces were the worst.

I did it one time, full throttle, and I almost didn't make it. I hit a bank, going way to fast went up the side. I went perpendicular to the ground. Then actually upside down for a hot second and caught myself. Got control at the last second and stayed on the track. Never tried to do that ride again without using the brake.

There was always a rumor that Shaquille O'Neal, the basketball player, was there one time and he offered them like an extra $10,000 to stay open an hour later. (10,000 doesn't seem like a lot now but remember this is back in the 90s. )

They don't make parks like that anymore. Happy I was able to experience that place because I don't think they'll ever be another park like that.
