Class Action Park

Class Action Park (2020) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM, digging into the real story behind a New Jersey water park that became local legend.

Action Park opened in Vernon during the 1980s with rides nobody had safety-tested and almost no one supervising. Visitors expected to leave bruised; some never left at all. Directors Seth Porges and Chris Charles Scott skip the warm nostalgia and report it out instead — archival footage, animated re-creations, and blunt interviews with the people who worked the rides and rode them. Johnny Knoxville, Chris Gethard, Jimmy Kimmel and John Hodgman all show up to talk.

What lands is a snapshot of an era when "survive the ride" was the whole attraction and nobody was held to account. It's funny and genuinely alarming in the same breath. Stream Class Action Park online on iFILM.
