Review
Class Action Park is a 2020 HBO documentary examining the history, dangerous rides, injuries, deaths, and legacy of Action Park, the notoriously unregulated 1980s New Jersey water park run by owner Gene Mulvihill. It mixes archival footage, animations, and interviews with former guests, employees, and affected families to detail corporate negligence, fake insurance schemes, and the park's wild appeal alongside its real human costs. No woke elements appear in the narrative, casting, or themes.
