I was on the wikipedia page for Action Park, and I was very intrested on the “Lola” cars that reportedly (unlimited) could hit 94 mph that were crudely detuned to pedestrian speeds. They somewhat look like the Lotus 2-chassis F1 racers...anyone know more info?

I was not old enough to drive them. That place was so unsafe. Jeez.

My boss used to work at the one in the Pocono’s. He said the carts were absolutely ridiculous.

So many of the “rides” were terrifying. I cannot count how often I could not wait to be tall enough to do something at Action Park, and once I did it was like, “ok...not doing THAT again. Back to the wave pool.”
