You are a lowlife for what
you did to me here today." ♪ ♪ narrator: By the mid-1990s,
things began to change. As the bad press
and lawsuits mounted, attendance dropped,
and Gene found it harder to move money around
and cover the bills. The park hit

Brennan was found guilty of money laundering
and bankruptcy fraud, landing him in prison
for almost ten years, meaning Gene's
never-ending spigot of cash dried up as well. Before long, Action Park's
parent company had to declare bankruptcy. And when the park
shut its gates at the end of the 1996
summer season, it soon became clear
that it would be its last. - I think it ran its course
