| dbo:abstract | Action Park és un parc d'atraccions situat a Vernon (Nova Jersey) obert el 1978, on hi predominen les atraccions aquàtiques. Es troba en els terrenys de l'estació d'esquí de . El parc va ser fundat per GAR (Great American Recreation), una empresa nascuda de la fusió de dos parcs d'esquí l'any 1978. L'objectiu de GAR era explotar aquests parcs d'esquí durant l'estiu. Comptava amb tres zones diferents amb atraccions: una zona alpestre, un Motoworld i un Waterworld, que va ser un dels primers parcs aquàtics moderns dels Estats Units. Moltes atraccions d'Action Park eren úniques i volien atreure visitants de l'àrea metropolitana de Nova York. Tanmateix, el parc tenia una reputació per tenir atraccions mal dissenyades i insegures. Almenys sis persones van morir a causa d'incidents en atraccions al parc original. A causa de demandes per lesions es va acabar tancant el parc l'any 1996. El parc es va reobrir el 2014, després de fer-hi modificacions per millorar-ne la seguretat. (ca) Action Park was an amusement and water park located in Vernon Township, New Jersey, United States, on the grounds of the Vernon Valley/Great Gorge ski resort. The park consisted primarily of water-based attractions and originally opened to the public in 1978, under the ownership of Great American Recreation (GAR). Action Park featured three separate attraction areas: the Alpine Center, Motorworld, and Waterworld. The last was one of the first modern American water parks. Many of its attractions were unique, attracting thrill-seekers from across the New York metropolitan area. Action Park's popularity went hand-in-hand with a reputation for poorly designed rides, undertrained and underaged staff, intoxicated guests and staff, 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. Healthcare workers and local residents had nicknamed the place "Traction Park", "Accident Park", "Class Action Park" and "Friction Park". Little effort was made by state regulators to address those issues, despite the park's history of repeat violations. GAR's management resorted to illegal financial schemes to keep itself solvent, which led to indictments of its executives, some of whom, like founder Gene Mulvihill, pled guilty to some charges. In its later years, personal injury lawsuits led to the closure of increasing numbers of rides and eventually the entire park closed in 1996. In 1998, resort developer Intrawest announced the purchase of the majority of the Vernon Valley/Great Gorge ski area, including Action Park and other developable real estate lands that GAR owned. The park received a massive overhaul, which included extensively renovating and repairing attractions, especially those deemed either outright unsafe or inappropriate relative to Intrawest's vision of the park, with some being removed entirely. Afterward, the park reopened as Mountain Creek Waterpark.

(es) Action Park était un parc d'attractions aquatique situé à Vernon (New Jersey), ouvert en 1978 par Great American Recreation (GAR), sur le terrain d'une station de ski. En raison de nombreux problèmes de sécurité, le parc a finalement été fermé en 1996, après 18 ans d'exploitation. Action Park comportait trois zones d'attractions sur différents thèmes : Alpine Center ("Centre Alpin"), Motorworld ("Monde motorisé") et Waterworld ("Monde d'eau"). Ces attractions, uniques à cette époque, attiraient les amateurs de sensations fortes venant principalement de la région new-yorkaise. Une partie de la "célébrité" du parc est due aux mauvaises conditions de sécurité. Ses attractions étaient mal conçues, son personnel jeune et peu formé et la présence d'alcool sur le parc a conduit à de nombreux accidents. Au moins six personnes sont mortes lors d'accidents survenus dans ce parc, ce qui lui valut les surnoms de « Traction Park », « Accident Park » et « Class Action Park ». Face à tous ces problèmes, l'État a progressivement fermé certaines attractions et a définitivement fermé le parc en 1996. Cependant, le manque de réaction de l'État américain face à l'ampleur des dégâts commis a été vivement critiquée. Le 9 février 1998, le promoteur Intrawest annonce le rachat de la majorité de la station de ski de Vernon Valley/Great Gorge (dont faisait partie Action Park) et d'autres terrains appartenant à GAR. Le parc a fait l'objet de modifications importantes consistant à réparer, rénover ou démolir les attractions, en particulier celles jugées dangereuses. Par la suite, le parc a rouvert sous le nom de Mountain Creek Waterpark. (fr) |
