The documentary about one of the most notorious amusement parks in the world is finally here, and it looks to be a wild ride. Class Action Park will dive into the history of Action Park, an amusement park many have dubbed the world’s most dangerous. As the first-ever feature documentary about this subject, the trailer for HBO Max’s upcoming release promises just as much insanity as the park itself. Check out the poster and trailer here…
Class Action Park is the first-ever feature-length documentary to explore the legend, legacy, and truth behind a place that long ago entered the realm of myth. To some, New Jersey’s infamous Action Park was the most spectacularly fun amusement park on Earth: A place where unruly 1980s teenagers were given free rein to go gonzo on strange contraptions that seemed to violate the laws of common sense (and perhaps physics). To others, it was an ill-conceived death trap. One thing is sure: It’s the type of place that will never exist again. Shirking the trappings of nostalgia, the film uses investigative journalism, newly unearthed and never-before-seen documents and recordings, original animations, and interviews with the people who lived it to reveal the true story for the first time. The documentary features an original score by The Holladay Brothers.
Class Action Park will premiere on HBO Max on August 27th.
