l3ite_me1313 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 www.mountaincreekwaterpark.com For any fellow Ghetto NJ people.. have you ever been here? I used to live in NJ, but the water-park was crappy when I went. Now, they have some NICE LOOKING attractions. Although I do hear the park isn't the safest... mehh.. Anyone...?

SharkTums Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Max (Catholic Boy!) lives right near there! Yeah, it's still pretty Action Parkish, just with some nicer slides now. Edited June 22, 2020 by SharkTums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterMax Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 A company called Intrawest took over the property known as Mountain Creek. The company has other properties that have turned out very nice. http://www.intrawest.com/index.htm They have really concentrated on the property's lodging adding a very nice hotel. Honestly, the place within five years will be unrecognizable. The plans include major expansions;...stores, restaurants and several more hotels. This could only mean water park/ski resort expansion as well. They seem to have really big plans for the place. As of right now, they have not really added a whole lot since it was action park (who was known for their dangerous and crazy slides, and looping water slide!) In 2003 they added one of the first funnels. check out the link for some pictures. http://themeparks.about.com/cs/waterparks/a/highanxiety.htm All in all, I think that it's a decent park with some potential; the biggest of which, in my opinion, is it being built into the mountain and the ability the park has to use the terrain for its attractions. Like any park in NJ, it can have it's ghetto days. Vernon/Sussex County; where it is situated, is probably the most removed least ghetto place in NJ (mostly woods and farm land...including some crazy cows but you'll have to ask robb and elissa about those), having lived in several places in this wonderful state. I am a teacher at the high school and while my 99.5% white/caucasian populated students like to think they are ghetto sometimes, they really have no clue. Honestly, the place is getting a major face lift/make over but like any park/resort, some days Mountain Creek can bring in the best trash of NY and NJ......as many Great Adventure fans I’m sure have experienced. Hope this helps. Max "Catholic Boy" Taylor High Anxiety/Mountain Creek Water Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3ite_me1313 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 My Sister and Bro-In Law live like 4 min away in Highland Lakes. I am leaving for NJ in days to visit them for about a month. I saw the park and checked their schedule. NOT OPEN UNTIL JUNE?! DIE MOUNTAIN CREEK! DIE! *Pops pills* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ^ Number one, calm down, and number two, this park looks like it has unique attractions, but almost all of them you can ride somewhere else. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3ite_me1313 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Their prices are pretty good. And how many times can you say "I was almost shot" at other water parks when you cut in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yes, that park used to be horrible and ghetto, and now it looks a lot nicer before, but I still wouldn't want to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I thought Action Park was great. That is the only time that I have been to this park. Talk about a death trap. A person died from bungee jumping. A go-kart blew up. There was just so much insane junk that went on there. The slides just weren't safe at all I'm surprised that people didn't come away with worse than bruises and cuts. I have not been to the new Mountain Creek, but I did apply for a public relations position there. I'm crossing my fingers. And the water slides with the loop never opened. I'll look for the picture.

coaster_type_of_person Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/forums/cgi/forum1.cgi?read=153156 Scroll down and there is a picture of it. EDIT: Here's some more pictures! Look how shallow that splash area is, and look how they have to spray the kid down because the splash area water was so cold they didn't want them to go into shock when they touched it! http://thrillnetwork.com/boards/showpost.php?p=436266&postcount=154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baclueless Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hey Max.... Do you teach at VTHS??? I went there......back in '90...ugghh.... Yup....Vernon is totally being this upscale little town now. I used to live right on Rt. 565. Go Vikings! As for Action Park.....that place was so amazing during the open season! They had the best alpine slides, speed slides, deadly tube rides, indy lola race cars.....how fun! I used to work on the Bungee tower and the Slingshot (original reverse bungee) back in 92-93. matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 No that's the other ghetto water park-Action Park in NJ. No... Action Park closed and then reopened under the MtCreek name. Its the same park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baclueless Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hercules...... Stop spewing false media! No one has ever died on the bungee tower,(an old man broke his ankle getting of the airbag) No Gokart has ever blown up....sorry! But you are wrong with the info. Im not trying to be nasty, but its simply not true. Yes people have died there......some one drowned in the wave pool, people burning themselves on the alpine slide, but get your facts straight before posting. matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
