Class Action Park Reviews
It’s not a bad documentary but neither does it do anything to warrant a special recommendation.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 24, 2024
Visitors went because it was dangerous, proudly showing off scars the next day at school. That those were the lucky ones is swept a little too quickly under the astroturf throughout the documentary.

A riveting documentary, told through the eyes of kids that went there and worked there.

A documentary that's likely to give any OSH worker nightmares, it essentially and easily justifies the reason for their existence.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 31, 2021
Equally extraordinary was that those kids, now adults, knew he had been reckless with their lives yet they looked back at those days with affection.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 19, 2021
This nostalgic trip back to the carefree summers of decades past is a hoot until you realize that people actually died here.
| Original Score: 3 / 5 | Oct 14, 2020
[A] fascinating and wryly amusing documentary...
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2020
It's a sobering, thoughtful and, yes, hilarious film.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 21, 2020
Watch this documentary for the insane and horrific stories.

Its tonal shifts are often dizzying and don't seem to treat the subject with the gravity that it deserves.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 11, 2020
Well done engaging documentary

They start to drag in some very loose allegations, most especially about Mulvihill's mob connections, that seem like late additions, never quite keying in to the story as told... Yet what a story.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2020
[Class Action Park] feels like a time capsule, and I'm glad we have that time capsule because Action Park isn't coming back, nor should it.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 4, 2020
Class Action Park captures New Jersey during the 1980s in a way few things do. After watching, you will re-evaluate every amusement and water park you have ever visited, promising caution for future visits for you or your kids.

Will inspire equal parts nostalgia and sadness, especially amongst those who literally lived through trips to possibly the most infamous amusement park in American history.
| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Sep 3, 2020
The wave pool had a "death zone".
| Sep 3, 2020
You must watch the documentary; these things must be seen to be believed.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2020
Class Action Park works as a brisk and alluring time capsule to a bizarre footnote in 80's culture.

Man, I can now see what inspired Final Destination 3, which could probably be considered a biopic thanks to this doc.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 2, 2020
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
