parkjunkie Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This makes you think twice about complaining about your home park www.yahoo.com/travel/dangerous-tasteless-dirty-the-worst-theme-parks-122198782147.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Including Bon Bon Land, is wrong. But then, this is someone from the USA who probably hasn't been there. And they obviously don't know that all this "gross stuff" is actually based on Candy! And the crowds there don't seem to mind the strange names and character figures that inhabit the park. Add to that, some really good play areas that help exercise the kids (and adults if they dare!), and plenty of stuff to keep kids occupied. My 5 cents. And this was there back in 2009.

MagnumFreak25 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yea Bon-Bon land definitely shouldn't be on that list. But i think action park should definitely be taken off too. The way they talk about is like they're trying to kill you. The way they talk about the new looping slide is like that they're just reopinging the exact same dangerous version that was their originally.

fraroc Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Oh yeah! Holy Land! I think they had a TOGO standup coaster named "Mount Golgotha Experience". I still think that being flogged, tortured, and then crucified isn't as painful as a TOGO standup. (and mean streak for that matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 ^ Found this pic I'd saved, from one of Holy Land's eateries... The names speak for themself. (o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I hadn't heard about Action Park redoing that crazy looping waterslide. That's awesome - despite the fact that I probably wouldn't ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Stalin's World is a stretch for a theme park, more like a museum. agreed that Bon Bon Land shouldn't be on the list. Edited June 23, 2015 by gisco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Warrior Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I hadn't heard about Action Park redoing that crazy looping waterslide. That's awesome - despite the fact that I probably wouldn't ride it. You'll be riding in a capsule contraption that won't allow your body to touch the slide itself. Should be far less dangerous, but will definitely scare off plenty of people anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyowl1028 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I wish I could go to the 80s version of Action Park, it sounds like a good time (if I make it out alright). They got my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Case in point, the park plans to reopen its dangerous cannonball loop waterslide in 2016, 20 years after the original slide was shut down in the 80’s over safety concerns. 2016...is 20 years after the 1980s.

I just posted the same thing the other day in the "what defunct park intrigues you most" thread, I totally agree! It sounds and looks like so much fun, even if people were getting hurt. I guess a lot of the slides are still around, but it looks like they make you wear helmets and stuff... probably a really good call, but not the most fun thing on a hot day! I'm sure you've seen these if you've looked into this place, but they deserve to be reposted for how awesome they are 1987- the year I was born! 1991 Found these from the DoD3 website- excellent reading and a lot of it "worst theme park" related (redneck carnival rides) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother went there all the time as a kid. God, she has a lot of stories about how her and my two uncles were one giant scab after riding the alpine slide.
