The trailer for a new documentary has been released that looks at New Jersey’s most infamous amusement parks.
Class Action Park” tells the story of Vernon’s Action Park – an amusement park known for not being the safest park in area.
"If you lived through Action Park, you lived through an event in your life that changed how you felt about fun. If you've never heard of Action Park, it's an impossible myth your friends are making up and exaggerating,” the narrator says.
The park featured a 360-degree water slide and a wild wave pool dubbed by guests as the “Grave Pool.” 

The documentary also talks about the park’s lack of insurance and the serious accidents that happened there.
The documentary is produced by Chris Charles Scott and Seth Porges. Porges tells News 12 New Jersey that he will be showing the documentary at film festivals.
An official release date has not yet been set.
