Would you play a game about Action Park, /v/?
Of course I would
While we're on this topic, what is the Action Park of video games?
>>318360119
Only if it was an RCT game where you were rewarded for killing/injuring park guests.
>>318361092
Competitive Melee
enjoy fucking up your hands
Would you play a game about THE goat tower, /v/?
>>318361525
>he doesn't know about le epic goat simulator
>>318361525
Played it as a kid even though I hated it

>goat simulator
>being anywhere near comparable to the fucking goat tower.
>>318361851
it's literally in the game, you stale memer
>>318361802
That pseudo-3D looks awfully ambitious but I'd say they pulled it off very well and with so few colors to work with. I imagine it doesn't look nearly as good on the original Game Boy though.

Then you just swim up to whichever side you're facing
I don't understand the fear
>Action Park reopened
>it has a website
>it has a page dedicated to "throwbacks"
>it's a page celebrating all the deaths and stupid rides
>>318362356
>Pitch black
>Possibility of other people coming down the tube
>Nothing to grip to climb out
Anon really?
>>318360119
>This place caused so many serious injuries and fatalities that the local hospitals got special ambulances just for this park
>and yet, the lines never got shorter, the people never stopped coming
I don't understand it
>>318362461
>Pitch black
Why does that matter? you're just going forward
>Possibility of other people coming down the tube
If you didn't come out the other side, they're not gonna send someone else down
>>Nothing to grip to climb out
It's water, you swim through it
You don't need to grip anything
>>318362604
>If you didn't come out the other side, they're not gonna send someone else down
kek you don't know much about Action Park
that said the bigger danger is breaking your fucking spine on the loop
>>318362501
I can engineer half my park to explode in RCT.
But those fuckers still line up for go karts.
>>318362127
theres drainage in the tube dummy, that volume of water would prevent anybody from going round the loop
>>318362604
>Using logic in an Action Park thread
Action Park defies all logic newfriend.
>>318362604
>they're not gonna send someone else down
Where do you think we're talking about, right now?
>Action Park has been reopened
>>318362127
I don't think the loop is that big, plus there's a door at the bottom of the loop incase someone does get stuck.
>>318363163
There is, but there's also no light down there.
>>318362501
I think the danger was an attraction, it added something to the place.
Also there was the feeling that nobody seemed to give a god damn what people did there. Seeing 16 year olds walking around with a beer can in one hand and a joint in the other was pretty common, in fact they were usually the ones operating the rides.

Reminder that these mad men are bringing the loop slide back to life.
>>318363971
>they strap you into a fucking coffin
>>318363971
Why is this allowed?
>>318363971
You ride in a little car so it's really just a roller coaster with water splashing around
>>318364151
>You ride in a little car so it's really just a roller coaster
Roller coasters are by definition made of tracks, not slides, except for bobsled coasters.
In defense of Action Park, it was basically the first major water park in North America. A lot of the rides were designed badly, but that had a lot do with the fact that they were the first park ever to use these types of rides.
Like almost every first generation water ride was opened at Action Park, and people went in there loving the idea of conquering some new, unknown attraction
I've thought for years about where I had a conversation about dangerous amusement parks that killed people. I never would have thought it was with /v/. Post some old copypastas, and accounts of working at these places.
>>318362127
This is why they put two lifeguards on either side of the slide these days
>>318363151
It never actually closed they just renamed it to Mountain Creek after the 6th death in 87 then brought back the old name last year
>>318364816
Everything is on the wikipedia page.
Make sure to ctrl+f "death awaits".

new ride at the reopened Action Park
would you go on it?
>>318365456
I dont think they were able to get permits for it for public use before the season ended. Hopefully they're keeping it for next summer.
>>318365456
It literally looks like you're riding in a dirty toilet bowl
Also is that actually an amusement park? It just looks like something set up in the middle of a field, there are no paths or signs or fences or anything
>>318365816
Thats just the soap they put on the slide so you go faster. Also it's from an unopened, new part of the park. None of it is open for public, and wont be for a while.
>>318365816
It's a temporary ride they put on the ski slope next to the park. Also the brown stuff is an additional lubricant so you go even faster
>>318365816
It's not actually action park. It's just an Action Park employee riding it.
>>318365816
I used to go in the Mountain Creek days a few times every year.
It's a ski resort in the wintertime, and a water park in the summer. They're just using some of that ski slope real estate for this one it seems.
>>318362501
In tourism, deaths will actually briefly increase the amount of public interest at a given venture. Somebody flips upside down and dies riding the Shotover Jet rides? They'll enjoy a nice little boost in popularity.
Of course if too many people die then that's no good.
Fun fact, nobody has officially died in the AJ Hackett bungy jumps, their ropes are really fucking potent
>>318364471
Just like the venomous snakes, the oil filled boat pool, and the skate park filled with dirt and forgotten about forever.
>>318366234
I'm pretty sure it was just regular snakes. We don't really get venomous ones in New Jersey.
>>318365816
They haven't added the speedbumps and venomous snakes yet, then it'll be Action Park material.
>>318365928
>Thats just the soap they put on the slide so you go faster.
>>318365942
>Also the brown stuff is an additional lubricant so you go even faster
You'd think they'd pick a nicer looking color, fuck
If it has to be brown they should question whether or not looking like you're skidding down shitstains on a dirty toilet is really worth going a little faster
>>318363971
Oh but it even has a little escape hole, that's just lame
>>318366353
It's an indian themed attraction.
>The sleds were a large factor in the injuries. A stick that was supposed to control speed led, in practice, to just two options on the infrequently maintained vehicles: extremely slow, and a speed described by one former employee as "death awaits".
>>318362501
Most of the rides in Action Park were designed with the idea that "you are in control". Go to Disney Land or Universal Studios, any car ride or whatever is gonna have a million safety harnesses and also the car itself is on a fixed track set at a fixed speed. At Action Park, not so much. It was up to you to pick the speed you wanted, and it was also up to you to make sure you actually like, stayed on the track.
Of course most rides only really had two speeds; ultra slow and no brakes at all and if you didn't go as fast as possible, the guy behind you almost certainly did so you would probably get kicked in the back at high speeds but still. The idea of being in control was a huge draw for a lot of people.

I don't think you "get" Action Park here, anon.
For anyone in this thread who's confused as fuck:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Park
It's a pretty fucking ridiculous read if you haven't heard of it before
>>318361123
>you build rides that will intentionally injure or kill guests
Well thanks to this thread I was reminded of going to Geauga Lake with my dad when I was like 8, back when it was the biggest theme park in the world and known as 6 Flags: Worlds of Adventure.
Thanks for the good memories, /v/.
>>318362127
This is my worst fear I wouldn't even do the ones at the wilderness in Wisconsin that go at a 45 degree angle, shit is terrifying
