In many ways, the return of Action Park at Mountain Creek is a portal back to the summer days of the 1980s and early 1990s. In those days, Action Park attracted patrons from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York by promising thrill rides and attractions that were not available anywhere else. It is undisputed that Action Park left a strong impression on the regional culture and memory – one so strong that the park was revived for the 2014 season. The management behind Action Park’s return promises all the fun that people have come to expect with an emphasis on safety.

What Was All the Fuss About at the Old Action Park?

The version of Action Park that was active through the 80s and the early 1990s was known for its one-of-a-kind thrill rides. A simple google search reveals a treasure-trove of memories from the park. Some commentators remarked on the alpine slide where some recounted exiting the ride with severe abrasions. Others remembered jumping into large pools of icy waters on the Tarzan Swing. The 50 to 60-degree water shocked riders and was believed to have caused or contributed to a heart attack in 1984.

However perhaps the most infamous stories revolve around the loop-de-loop waterslide that was present in Action Park. Although the slide was closed for much of its existence, a few brave souls have recounted their experiences. Some remember that it was possible to become stuck in the slide. Others recall striking their head or limbs on the slide due to the disorientation caused by the darkness and inversion.

In any case, the new Action Park is committed to “bring[ing] back all the thrills, but none of the spills”. However, even parks that are safe for millions of people can have isolated accidents and injuries.

What Types of Risks Exist at Amusement Parks?

Injury can happen at any theme or amusement park that offers high-speed rides and other thrills. Parks attempt to minimize the dangers that you will face, but injury can still occur in isolated situations. Some risks that are common to all theme parks include:

Slip and Falls – While a simple mechanism of injury, a slip or a trip can lead to catastrophic injury. If the fall takes place on a stairway or when boarding or exiting a ride, the risk of serious injury increases.
Mechanical failures – Rides must be routinely maintained. If rides are operated under stressful conditions or outside of their specifications the risk of failure becomes higher. Mechanical failure can even lead to death.
Negligence – Inattention to conditions by a ride operator can have tragic consequences.
Summer storms – The heat of summer can often bring in afternoon thunderstorms. In parks with towering rollercoasters ad large pools of water, electrical storms can present an increased risk.
Parking lot injuries – Believe it or not, many amusement park injuries can occur prior to even passing through the park gates. In the parking lot, the arriving guests may be distracted while departing guests may be in a hurry to get home. In either instance, serious bodily injury can occur to pedestrians or other motorists.

If you have suffered an injury due to one of the above reasons, or due to different circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation. However, working with an experienced personal injury lawyer can increase the likelihood of a favorable settlement or jury verdict.

Justin was excellent in helping me understand my options and what I could possibly do with my car accident even though they would not be able to take my case. He was very considerate and showed more concern and care than I received from various other lawyers. If I'm ever in a serious injury accident I will be using this law firm in the future.

Mr Suthard was my lawyer, and I had a lot of health issues that limited my ability to participate in my case. However, my lawyer, Mr. Wade Suthard was very caring and empathetic to my needs. I am so grateful to Mr. Suthard for everything. Thank you to the entire staff at Reiff law firm. A special shout out to Caitlin. You're the best.

I wasn't represented by this law firm but I did call for some direction with a situation I had. When I say, Justin, the person I spoke to was amazing. Customer service was top tier. So even though I wasn't a client of theirs, it felt like anyone would be in good hands with this company.

I am most grateful for Justin Reiff's compassion and genuine empathy towards myself and my brother, Steven Laboy. He was attentive and sensitive to our case. Other law firms we have contacted prior to Reiff Law Firm, met us with an indifferent and callous attitude. We were treated with utmost respect and looked upon as individuals and not as a means to gain profit. Thank you, Justin!

"I can’t say enough great things about the Attorneys at the Reiff Law Firm. They made me feel at ease when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. Never being in a situation like this I was so unsure of where to start and how to go about the process. Justin gave me options where I thought I had none and explained everything in a way that I could understand. Justin and the team helped me arrange all of the treatment and therapy that I needed, without them I would have been lost. My attorney John went to bat for me like no one else could have, his knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. If anyone is ever in need of a team of attorneys the Reiff Law Firm is my ONLY recommendation."

"Before meeting with Jeffrey Reiff and Bob Szostak from the Reiff law firm I’ve consulted with a few other injury attorneys in the Philadelphia region. Difference was, these guys know their stuff! I was absolutely blown away by how compassionate and welcome this law firm makes you feel. Once signed with them I never went a single week without staying in the loop with the progress and updates these guys have on your case. Working with them...turned what was an injury case, into a family!...I’ve never felt like a beat was skipped. I’d recommended the Reiff law firm 100%! I’m very comfortable to say there’s no better in the city. The awards they’ve earned over the years speaks for itself! I can never thank the Reiff law firm and Bob Szostak enough for everything they’ve done, their professionalism, compassion and all of their knowledge and experience! Highly rated! Best in the city!...Thanks again Reiff family!"
