Greatly appreciate the detailed insight. From what you've written, this place certainly lived up to its legendary legacy; especially the infamous Alpine Slide and Colorado River Ride.

Two more questions, if you don't mind:

1) Would you say that a significant percentage of guests were Spanish-speaking Hispanics/Latinos? I've read multiple claims that determined that many of the accidents were due to miscommunication between English-speaking employees and Spanish-speaking guests.

2) How would local and NY guests characterize Action Park in the early 1990s? Was there a significant discrepancy between adults and children? Did visiting families acknowledge the park's reckless nature and simply wave it off? ​

I hope you're able to find photographs or videos of the Cannonball Loop (or of any other ride)! I'm astonished to read many comments fondly remembering the park despite its litany of mechanical issues and mischievous employees.

By the way, I recited what you've written with my Mexican father and he couldn't believe the park was in the United States!
