There was a loop in one water slide that did not go well.


Not a ton of footage, so they had to use some animating, and some of the interviewees are kind of annoying, but I still found it fascinating.


Then I found out there was a Johnny Knoxville movie from 2018 called Action Point that was based on this park. Not a fan of Jackass but I have to admit it really fit the original park and I actually enjoyed it.

Class Action Park felt really padded to me; Kevin Purjerer's shortform from Defunctland about it is a really good length (17m).
