But it is the nostalgia-tinted legend that remains in people’s memories. Alison Becker, 42, an actress and writer best known for a recurring role on the sitcom Parks and Recreation, said the risks at Action Park were part of the appeal. She said she had gone to Six Flags Great Adventure, which is also in New Jersey, and nothing equaled the fear factor at Action Park. 'You know the scene in Footloose where they’re playing a game of chicken with tractors and going at each other?' said Ms. Becker, who grew up about 30 miles from Action Park in Allamuchy Township.
