I found this site that pretty much sums up the greatness of Action Park. Check out the following excerpt about the Tarzan Swing. (PS: Can you believe the site is called “Domain of Death 3″?)

Lets start off with the Tarzan Swings which were, and still are, a spectacle of pain. The swing was huge first off; the beam to hold them must have hovered 30 feet above the water. The swings (there were three) had a triangle shaped bar to hang onto and riders would swing from platforms that were about 15 feet above the water. The goal of this attraction was to successfully swing over the bulk of the water and let go at the pinnacle of your swing; it rarely ever went that way though.

      This is what would normally happen: You grab onto the bar, tumble off the platform, and then you forget to tuck you’re legs in to avoid hitting the surface of the water and finally you faceplant into the pool. I remember seeing one kid not let go of the swing at all; he reached the apex of the swing, started traveling backwards, and then slammed into this padded wall just under the platform. He then dropped like a dead bird into the water and had to swim the entire length of the pool to get out…which must be the worst possible thing ever.
