There was an amusement park in the US which, at its height, welcomed over a million visitors a year - but it had a number of people die on the rides.
New Jersey's Action Park ended up becoming known as 'Class Action Park' due to all the lawsuits filed against it for injuries and deaths which occurred there, and they even ended up making a documentary about the place, which used the notorious nickname for a title.
Check out the trailer for Class Action Park here:
A total of six confirmed deaths occurred at Action Park, which closed down at the end of the season in 1996 and failed to reopen the following summer, before being bought out and reopened as Mountain Creek Waterpark.
The place switched back to the name Action Park in 2014, but that only lasted for a couple of years before it was relaunched as Mountain Creek Waterpark once more.

The six confirmed deaths occurred in the 1980s, and include a man who flew off a ride and hit his head on a rock, someone who had a heart attack after plummeting into a freezing cold pool underneath a rope swing, a man who was electrocuted after stepping on a grate that was exposed to live wiring, and three deaths in the water park's Tidal Wave Pool.
No doubt about it, this place was f**king dangerous, so naturally, Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz spent a segment of Rogan's podcast watching footage from the heyday of Action Park.
Diaz joked that 'every time you were in there they'd kick you out in a neck brace' as the pair watched people taking their very unsafe trips to Action Park.
"How many kids got broken legs from this?" Rogan wondered aloud as they watched all the various water park attractions in use.

Among the attractions they watched was a bridge where people would jump off into the water, leading Rogan to speculate that people would have tried to land on each other on purpose.
He said 'that's a great way to break your neck' as he imagined 'someone flying and landing on you', and then exhaled sharply.
In and among the footage were newspaper clippings of all the accidents which occurred at Action Park.
Diaz told Rogan that accidents would happen at the water park 'every other weekend'.

The podcast host said: "Here's the question, guys who are doing BMX flips, guys who are practicing for those things, how many of those guys get hurt?"
"A lot, right? How often do they get hurt? But why is it ok if they get hurt, but it's not ok if you go to a park where you're reasonably certain you have a good chance of getting hurt.
"It's basically people paying to have the same kind of risk factor as you would do if you were doing something else crazy."
