Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides, and the Untold Story of America's Most Dangerous Amusement Park

by Andy Mulvihill

Life doesn’t follow a preset path. It doesn’t roll along a track as you sit comfortably behind a safety bar. It throws obstacles in your way. It flings you into uncharted territory and threatens to knock you down. It hits you in the testicles with a tennis ball at violent speeds. You have to be tough. You have to hang on. You have to learn how to steer, bank, and navigate the curves.
