Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Class Action Park (2020)

Action Park was a water park in New Jersey that was known for its poorly-designed and very dangerous attractions. Former employees and patrons tell stories about horrific injuries and the culture at the park, yet everyone seems to be doing so fondly. The notable exception to the jocularity is the mother of one of the teens killed there. It's hard to believe that a park open into the '90s had so little oversight.

While it definitely keeps your attention, it became increasingly difficult to laugh at the rampant disregard for safety. It also wound up being a bit repetitive. I mean, we get it: the owner only cared about bigger, wilder, and as cheap as possible & '80s kids rarely backed away from a challenge. That's a combination that never had a chance of ending well.
