holy shit i didn't realize the cannonball loop was only open for a month i did that "ride" during that month in '85, i remember getting to the bottom going "that can't fucking be right." they should've had free neck braces as you got out of the landing pool Around the 8:18 mark.  people were skinnier back then too... |

This is why the injuries mounted. I got hammered everytime we went there. Thankfully I was never hurt. The alcohol kept the injury numbers down because a drunk person stays relaxed throughout the shit hitting the fan as their alpine deathmobile leapt of the concrete track. Years ago a friend of mine rolled his car after over-indulging. He was banged up pretty good, but spent only one day in hospital. Dr. comes in and tells him he could have been killed but his intoxication prevented him from freezing up and bracing which would have caused more traumatic injuries. My friend stares at the Dr. and says "Beer saved my life?! Beer saved my life!". The Dr. was like no no that's not the lesson here, that is not what I'm... And my friend just sat there repeating Beer saved my life, beer saved my life. He was dead serious. |

Action park was awesome. The water was freakin’ freezing though. But good times. |

Similar to drunk car wrecks |

I rode the cyclone in Coney Island when I visited a few years ago. Great ride but my neck never recovered.

In addition to the book, there's a documentary coming out about it - "Class Action Park" - in August. One of the directors is from the Hudson Valley.
