The only question in this bizarre documentary is whether irresponsible children who packed the grounds of "Action Park" helped Gene Mulvihill, the irresponsible business jerk who owned and ran the place, actually design and build all the ridiculous, tinker-toy like rides at this deathtrap of a so-called "Amusement Park." People, some well known for their talents & future endeavors (Chris Gethard, Alison Becker, Johnny Knoxville) and some quite average New Jersey teenagers, are interviewed to describe how they managed to survive this deadly right of passage all the way into adulthood. The conclusion that this tale reaches, as with so many dozens/hundreds of other documentaries, is that money (profits, minimum-wage jobs, county tax revenue, etc., and not the safety and wellbeing of children) is all that matters in the U. S. Unless the healthy and athletic teenaged boy who is thrown from a ride into a large, adjacent bed of jagged rocks and killed just happens to be your son. Sorry?!?
