This review may be biased (it's really not) because I know <A HREF="https://letterboxd.com/director/seth-porges/">Seth Porges</A>, but, honestly, it's one of the most amazing and craziest documentaries I've ever watched (and, to be honest, I'm not a fan of documentaries). Plus, Seth is awesome and has a new documentary out now on Netflix called <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/NgAQ">How to Rob a Bank</i></A>. Go watch it.
I may have been born in the late 70s, but I'm really an 80s child. I grew up in a time where there was no social media, and, as mentioned in the film, us kids would be outside all day long without a worry in the world, coming home late at night with scratches, bruises, and, in some cases, broken limbs. Still, we carried on.
<I>Class Action Park</i> focuses on one amusement park, Action Park, where absolutely <B>no shits were given</b>. The stories from former employees about how many of the park's attractions came about, and to the many injuries (and deaths) that occurred are just mind-blowing. You must watch this documentary to see not only how this place was mismanaged, but how many of the rides came about. This shit wouldn't fly in today's world (or would it?).
<b>Final thoughts:</b>
An incredible ride (literally) from beginning to end that's filled with laughter and memories, but also greed and death.
