Review: Class Action Park
It’s hilarious…until someone dies. This disarmingly entertaining 2020 documentary from co-directors Chris Charles Scott III and Seth Porges tells the incredible true story of New Jersey’s Action Park, an amusement park that sounds like it was created by the “Jackass” guys by way of Itchy and Scratchy Land from “The Simpsons” . A waterpark so recklessly designed, carelessly managed and overall dangerous that idiot Americans would line up just so they could say they survived it. Then a few didn’t survive. Yeah. The Dreamworld disaster ain’t got nothin’ on Action Park. With all the injuries and yes, eventually deaths occurring at the park, you almost feel bad for laughing and having a good time for the majority of this film’s length. We even get a clip of Johnny Knoxville on Jimmy Kimmel’s show talking about the park. How perfect, how inevitable. The kicker is that Kimmel claims his entire family was injured there at some point. Jesus Christ. It’s truly jaw-dropping how little care
