Class Action Park

Here's a rephrased version of the section:

Class Action Park delves into the larger-than-life story of Eugene Mulvihill (played by...), a penny stockbroker who amassed his fortune through a series of get-rich-quick schemes. The film chronicles his journey to opening Vernon Township's infamous Action Park in 1978, where he envisioned a lawless playground with no rules. As the park's popularity grew, so did its notoriety for featuring death-defying rides such as the Cannonball Loop, SuperSpeed Waterfalls, Alpine Slides, and Tarzan Swings.

Through intimate interviews with former guests and employees, the film paints a vivid portrait of Action Park's reckless culture and the darker side of Mulvihill's empire. From his litigious nature to his infamous land dispute with the state of New Jersey, which eventually reached a stalemate after the authorities grew weary of dealing with him.

As the story unfolds, the focus shifts to the devastating consequences of Action Park's reckless abandon. The film meticulously documents the tragic accidents that befell park-goers, including the 1980 death of George Larsson Jr. on the Alpine Slides, which was initially covered up by the park to avoid reporting it to authorities. In reality, Larsson had died while riding the slide at night during a rain shower as an employee, not a member of the general public, as claimed.

The film also touches on allegations that Mulvihill corrupted Vernon Township officials during Action Park's heyday, ultimately leading to the park's downfall and his own demise. The documentary concludes with poignant reflections from those who knew the park firsthand, likening it to an '80s movie that will never be replicated again. A haunting coda features footage of George Larsson Jr.'s mother and younger brother visiting his grave, serving as a somber reminder of the human cost of Action Park's excesses.
