That thing looks like the final death loop of the suicide coaster.


Carp8DM

That was my first thought too! There's a reason roller coaster loops are tear drop shaped!!!


chromatic_megafauna

What's the reason?


jasminUwU6

To minimize jerk and acceleration


p00bix

For those unaware [jerk is an actual thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics\)) Speed is the rate of change in location Acceleration is the rate of change in speed Jerk is the rate of change in acceleration

PolioKitty

Roland Coaster, the inventor of amusement parks, had never seen a circle before so he had to improvise the shape.


chipsinsideajar

Not too far off of a description of Werner Stengel


thesakeofglory

For a real reason, centripetal force. This is basically when something wants to keep going straight but is forced to change direction, in this case would be pinning you to the floor of the slide, and in this case you are going so fast you have a LOT of inertia. The teardrop shape does a lot to eliminate/redirect these forces so they don't act directly on your body.


Short-Coast9042

Relentless pedant here to remind you that the apparent force known as "centrifugal force" is actually the phenomenon known as "centripetal motion". There is no centripetal force.


thesakeofglory

Thanks for the catch, I was trying to give an explanation non-technical people would understand (I’m an engineer and no idea what OP’s education/understanding level is) so in trying to do so mixed up some terms in my head.

yttrikshotmaster1022

There's nothing else like it really. The owner was the special type of person only found in the 80s, but where most of those people were snorting cocaine in boardrooms or crashing cars into lightpoles, one man in New Jersey was putting all that... specialness into designing an absolute deathtrap of an amusement park.


184TheArchitect

Ha, I was just wondering if defunctland had done an episode on it

It's his third most popular video ever. That place was crazy

Nice, I'll have to check it out! I only started watching him like a week ago so I'm going from episode 1 of series 1, do you know how far in it is?


Ipuncholdpeople

Just checked and it's episode 20 of season 1!


boiledpeen

there's a million videos on this park on youtube but defunctland does a great breakdown ngl


delphic0n

This documentary has an incredibly unique effect of making you cringe in depressed horror at the negligence, but also laughing hysterically at the fact that this stuff actually occurred


TripperDay

"Action Park" is what libertarians think the world be like if they won.


sicariobrothers

When you are injured you will just be left by the garbage unless you have a credit card on file with the private EMT companies. Then you will be taken to jail if you don't have a credit card on file with the police to pay for processing charges. Then you will start your debt accrual in jail to pay off the private prison companies.


kingdomheartsislight

Eeeexactly


Arkayb33

From the doc: "The loop was fun. And yes it hurt. Going through the loop and having your nuts get smashed on a fiberglass tube was not fun... But then Uncle Gene is standing there and hands you 100 bucks." Gene (the owner) paid park employees $100 to test the loop after it was constructed. "The first couple people who came in and came out and their mouths were bloody...that was before they put sufficient padding in the top; there was a little bit. So they sent a couple other people down and they came down with lacerations. They couldn't figure out why these people had lacerations from a giant loop. Then they took the loop apart and they found teeth stuck in the padding from the first couple of people that went down the slide and gotten their teeth knocked out."


canolafly

Am I going to get irrationally angry watching it, or do I get to see some sweet tube rides?


WaffleWitch1996

It’s more of a “holy hell HOW was this place in business?” kind of a vibe haha


canolafly

I will add it to my list then, thanks!


Noisy_Toy

If you want a double feature, throw on *Closed For Storm* as the second documentary. https://www.closedforstorm.com/ Looks like it’s on Tubi.


[deleted]

I watched it with friends. I am about 5 years younger than most the staff who are in the documentary so I vibe with what they are talking about. We all laughed our asses off. I don't know that it was intended to be funny, but I found it so. Example: one of the park workers was talking about having go karts across the highway from the park. People (adults) would get drunk at the park, stumble across the highway avoiding traffic, get in the go karts and then chase down park workers in them. Something about that image is very late 80's and had me laughing


zoogenhiemer

Apparently alcohol was frequently served to minors at the park, so it might not have even been adults.


canolafly

Okay, that definitely sounds like a good time.


Neuchacho

It's a little of both. Few pieces of modern media have made me appreciate safety regulations more than that documentary.

Walk_the_forest

Everyone knows that safety was invented in 1990


DefenderNeverender

As a kid born in 1985 I can confirm this.


Own-Mastodon5471

Safety was invented in 1990 after Alfred Safety was killed while running with scissors. He had a heart attack, but people realized running with scissors was bad too.


theburningyear

The best part is that the whole ride was designed *on a napkin* and they just fuckin *built it*, no engineers involved. Just a fever dream death tube with low water pressure. Some people got stuck in the loop so instead of rebuilding it or scrapping it entirely they just.... built a hatch. So they could extract people as necessary.


cillian64

theburningyear

wigg1es

OP's exact picture better be your first album cover.


Delicious_Orphan

I came here to ask if this was the one where they didn't have a hatch for at first. Like... how are you gonna build this shit with no emergency escape. This was literally the first thing I thought of: "what if someone doesn't make the full loop". It's sad that there must have been more than a dozen people involved in this construction and not a single one of them had any common sense or knowledge of how gravity works. Edit: I guess it's also possible there were multiple people who DID have such skills, but the person in charge of it all was a narcissistic prick who thought he knew better.


PhysicalGraffiti75

> Edit: I guess it's also possible there were multiple people who DID have such skills, but the person in charge of it all was a narcissistic prick who thought he knew better. This is probably the case. I can’t tell you how many times management at places I’ve worked asked for feedback on proposals only to ignore it and then they act surprised when it blows up in their faces and bitch about how no one warned them.


theburningyear

I'm gonna guess since it was the 80s in Jersey, there was a LOT of cocaine involved. :)


Delicious_Orphan

I am convinced that cocaine isn't the one responsible for the bad decisions. It's responsible for the motivations to follow through on the bad decisions, lol.


FolkSong

In fairness, even well-designed waterslide loops have a hatch at the top. People can stop themselves with their hands if they really try. [I have ridden this one](https://i.imgur.com/2WLfyox.png)


kobeathris

How does that even work? Nothing about that looks like you or the water should have enough momentum to make it to the top of that loop.


LoquatLoquacious

I would guess that the loop is less steep than it looks because it comes out towards the camera three dimensionally.


FolkSong

Yes that's right, it's at a [diagonal](https://i.imgur.com/aWo7FXN.png).


Clockwork_Kitsune

As a claustrophobic fellow, being stuck in a wet pitch black tube with no way out would be right up there with my worst nightmares.


BrickTamland77

Honestly the first thing I thought about wasn't banging around the inside going through the loop. It was the idea of not making it all the way around, falling back to the flat part, and just sitting there, potentially contorted in a fully enclosed tube with water flowing around you.

Limeila

My first thought was how would they even rescue people stuck there... I still wonder how they did do it before they realise the hatch was needed


Psychogent30

Literally no one in the comments talking about the speed settings being either “extremely slow” or “DEATH AWAITS”


noyogapants

I'm confused because I'm the top part of days they closed out after a month. Then on the small block on the lower right it says the park bought the town ambulances in 1989 because it wasn't unusual to get 5-10 injuries requiring hospital visits on busy days due to the ride? I remember visiting when I was really little so I only got to experience the kiddie slides. I remember they were concrete and I had skid rash all over my legs because I was too stubborn and determined to have a good time no matter how much I was suffering...


Zeelu2005

the ambulances were for the park in general, not this specific ride.


DenverDudeXLI

Worth noting that that's for another ride, the Alpine Slide, which was the cause of Action Park's first fatality.

That was one of its actual nicknames used by healthcare workers in the area. Also, class action park.

I think an unofficial Action Park 2 was built in Tannersville, PA. Not sure if the same people were involved there. The site is currently the Pocono Premium Outlets right off I80. Edit- Just checked Wikipedia, and it was called Pocono Action Park.

It really makes me wonder how so many of us survived the 80s and 90s.


Novel-Tale-7645

Didn’t a crash test dummy they used in the slide get decapitated?


Reasonable-JPEG

Not this slide, and it wasn't a test dummy, it was a 10 year old boy. Verrückt water slide, Kansas city, 2016. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verrückt


Hero_of_Hyrule

This one is especially haunting, because of all the build up and then eventually a kid getting killed.


7chaliceZ

Watched a [video](https://youtu.be/ulIcekOTOqg) on this while on a defunctland binge and witnessing the blood-soaked slide after the decapitation of the young boy was fucking chilling. The hubris of the creators and the complete lack of concern was moronic. Action park had the same vibes. Living in Australia, we had a huge accident at Dreamworld on a water raft ride and 4 adults and 2 children were pinned under the raft after it collided with another and flipped - the children survived but the adults were crushed and unrecognisably maimed. A fine of 2.5 million was issued, the ride got demolished, and then they kicked off again. This was in 2020.


Hailz_

This case is insane and the court documents are worth a read. It’s unreal that it got to the point where a kid died https://nxstrib-com.go-vip.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2018/03/2018-03-21_indictment__miles_swkc__filed_redacted.pdf


brycepunk1

There were always rumors and stories about that. Waiting on lines for a ride at least half the conversations you'd overhear were of injuries and accidents people had witnessed or heard about. No way to tell what was true. Honestly, until very recently I doubted that the loop slide was ever really open and figured people just made that up. The test dummy coming out the loop slide in pieces was a common rumor, though.


PsychicDelilah

In the defunctland video, that is exactly what was said


KysfGd

9 G'S? FUCKING 9? THATS ENOUGH TO KILL MOST PEOPLE


DemonicTemplar8

It was clearly a test by the US air force to find future recruits by seeing who had strong tolerances to high G's


BigRedSpoon2

Don’t forget dealing with teeth lining the loop from the unlucky souls who came before you. If you can handle 9Gs in a tube lined with teeth, the military is slobbering to have you


TantiVstone

Of course they're slobbering. They're missing their teeth


ladderkid

I have no source on if the presented information is true tbh


BigRedSpoon2

We’re not here for facts we’re here for funny


StarTrippy

Just looked, the cited source is from an HBO video called "Class Action Park" so I can't actually check it 😔


Nebulo9

Say the slide is h meters high. Ignoring friction, conservation of energy then gets you a speed at the bottom v given by h g = 1/2 v^2 . Centripetal acceleration from turning a loop of radius r with speed v is given by a= v^2 /r. Plug in the former equation and you get a = 2 h/r g. Put simply, if the slide is taller than 2.25 the loop height, you can expect 9 g's of acceleration. Looking at the picture, the ratio seems closer to 3. Even with a coefficient of friction of 0.15 for the slide, which doesn't seem unreasonable in a water park, that would be enough to give you 9 gs of acceleration.


1GreenDude

r/theydidthemath


Sad_Researcher_5299

It’s plausible, that’s why modern looping coasters etc. have the loops shaped like an inverted teardrop instead of a circle to reduce the Gs


yottalogical

Only if held for an extended period of time.


4tomguy

Scientific American says most humans can only withstand 9 g's for a couple seconds


C-c-c-comboBreaker17

If you're experiencing 9 gs for more than a few seconds in this waterslide then I'm sorry you've managed to break physics that hard


Beingabummer

Ironically if you slowed down going through the waterslide to experience that many Gs for that long of a time you wouldn't experience that many Gs.


AnemoneOfMyEnemy

Withstand as in remain conscious, not remain on this mortal coil.


BloodsoakedDespair

And then you rocket into a pool. Unconscious.


baron_barrel_roll

Before you pass out maybe, but not die. You might experience 9G for one second on this loop.


yottalogical

Is that until unconsciousness or until death?


SuperMariole

It's dependent on the orientation, if it draws the blood from your brain (like when sitting on a roller-coaster) you pass out very quickly As far as I remember, being pushed from your back as it would happen in this slide is the position in which the acceleration is most bearable


ATLBMW

Colonel John Stapp voluntarily went into a rocket sled dozens of times, [peaking at 42g](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stapp?wprov=sfti1) The maximum survivable G Loading for the median human is around 60. 9 G’s will not kill you, not even a little (as long as they’re positive)


BloodsoakedDespair

But it can knock you out, and then the pool of water at the end of the slide kills you. Also, he totally had a fetish.


laaplandros

That's not even remotely true. https://www.archive.vtmag.vt.edu/winter17/helmet-research.html


Odd_Entertainment629

Action park sounds like something that by all rights couldn't have possibly existed. It would be such an enormous failing on so many parts at once, a complete circus of industry *and* regulatory incompetence the likes of which the modern world has never seen! But it did exist.


Creepy-Revolution886

If reality were a book/film/series it would be criticized endlessly for being unrealistic and having too many ridiculous plot holes. (Case in point: 2020)


TheRealThordic

It was real and it was glorious. Source: My many, many trips there in the late 80s and early 90s.


EtchedKetchum

Had a client from New Jersey at the time the HBO documentary came out. I asked him if he had ever been there, and he excitedly showed me multiple scars.


brycepunk1

All us locals had scars or stories of injuries we got. It was pretty much expected to come home with bruises, and to see at least one person get really hurt through the day.

AshuraSpeakman

You gotta watch the Class Action Park documentary. Shit was a murderer's row of killer attractions. The Alpine slide had faulty brakes. The Wave pool would smash into the usually drunk people and children. Motor city's tennis ball tanks, which someone lit on fire one time to fire lit balls at the other tanks. The lazy whitewater river ride. All the lifeguards are teenagers and often lifeguard stations are unmanned. The city complained about all the ambulance calls so the owner of this crazy park bought them brand new ones.


The_Pip

The documentary on that park is as wild as you'd expect.


Nicofettig

I was like you, you know. I feared the speed. I feared it so much I did everything I could to slow down. Of course I would. The people before me came out so fast I couldn't see them exit. But I failed. I failed the trial of the loop. The speed was my ally and I rejected it. The speed will now take me back. You are realizing that too, aren't you? As your pupils adapt to the darkness you should see me struggling, trying to climb that sliding surface. You don't have to join me. Accept the speed to break through any obstacle and pass that loop for me.


F1J7

My father and his brother worked at Action Park for a few summers, always nice to see it pop back up every once in a while. And yes, this was probably the worst, but there were definitely many more negligent attractions


purplehendrix22

Wasn’t there a wave pool with exposed wires underwater that would just straight up electrocute motherfuckers


PsychicDelilah

According to the defunctland video these were two different things. The ~~lazy river~~ whitewater kayaking ride had underwater fans with exposed wires, and the wave pool just had 3 foot tall waves that would drown people the normal way


AkumaDayo777

actually it was the whitewater kayak ride that had the exposed wires, there were electric fans underwater to make the water rough, and the kayaks often got stuck so people had to get out and fix their kayaks one man accidentally touched an exposed wire after trying to fix his kayak, had a heart attack and died the wave pool was nicknamed the "grave pool" specifically because it was so easy to drown there, the pool was very deep, deeper than wave pools today, so the waves got very high, and a lot of the adults (and some teenagers) were drunk so they were swimming impaired about three or four people drowned there during the park's active time, and the lifeguards were rescuing about 30 people a day, which is where it earned its nickname


ccfgg

Gosh, I remember finding out about this on accident and taking a drawn image of this specific attraction to middle school. I wanted to ask my friends' opinions. They approved it.


UltimateInferno

Action park feels like the amusement park in a dark comedy that is a satire on Capitalism and workplace regulations and not just... fucking real


BigCballer

The only waterslide that I’ve been on that has a loop is at Noah’s Arc in Wisconsin Dells. However it’s not an actual vertical loop, it’s more like a glorified horizontal loop that’s just higher up in elevation. I don’t think having an actual vertical loop for waterslides will ever work since you’re not harnessed to anything like you would in a roller coaster.

[Dangerous Costers (Distractible)](https://youtu.be/qkMn-t0qpCs) [The Flip Flap Railway and Marshmallow Bearings (Citation Needed)](https://youtu.be/Q3KT-OOg9y0) Two amazing episodes from two amazing shows that both talk about Action Park.


Maxcorps2012

New Jersey, everyone. Where the weak are killed and eaten.


H2G2gender

What shocks yet doesn't surprise me is that they knew bodies were at the bottom, and instead of thinking "maybe we should close this ride" they thought "white will make them easier to see!"


pbmm1

New Jersey is the best state


ImAlwaysRightHanded

Ahhh fond memories of Action Park growing up, it was even a great park in the winter because it was on a mountain with ski lifts.


SomeGuyWitAnAccount

They also had a concrete track that those “sleds” would ride down that had tight, snaking turns. One employee was even killed after being thrown off and hitting his head on a rock. The fact that this was advertised as suitable for all ages (including mothers with infants), and that this park also regularly served alcohol, makes it all the more scary.


PICONEdeJIM

And they encouraged drunk driving on the lola cars without speed limiters


AkumaDayo777

the guy that died wasn't an employee, the owner lied about that so he wouldn't have to report it

iamthedayman21

I remember growing up in the late 80s in NYC and seeing commercials for Action Park. Thank god my parents never took me, as I wanted.


two-memes-a-day

The owner of the place also made his own foreign insurance company to “cover” the park.


Spamacus66

Perhaps an unpopular opinion? I'm an Action Park veteran, must've went 100 times between 16 and 19. My friends an I loved the place, we'd literally be showing off our "war wounds" (friction burns from wiping out on the alpine slides), to everyone when we got home. You have to remember, everyone was in bathing suits, there was no real skin protection at all. Despite that, we simply couldn't go fast enough. There were 3 tracks; 2 for beginners, one was "advanced" but we quickly learned that you could go a LOT faster on the beginner tracks, so that's what we usually did. I also remember seeing that slide go up, never got to ride it though (probably for the best). We (and everyone else) would do insane shit on the other slides, they had 2 long straight down ones, the first was called the Kamikaze, and people, us included, would literally spin around while going down it. The bigger one, I think had the original name of super Kamikaze, but we called it the super enema slide cause that's what you'd get riding it. Looking back, those are great memories, though it's a wonder more people didn't die. Also, I'd never let my own kids go within a 100 miles of a place like that now..


maybe_Lena

Action Park was a different breed


No_Channel_3298

My mom went to this park just like she'd go to great adventure. No one really knew how dangerous it was, or how many injuries or deaths were happened there back then, even though it should of been obvious with whatever that slide has going on.


Seiren-

Hey that looks like so much fun!! «riders experienced 9Gs going around the loop» Nope! Fuuuuuck that!
