Fuckin’ Action Park

The fact that people reminisce fondly of going to a death park is astounding

No doubt in my mind. Just look at all the people who yearn for sports leagues to allow players violently mangle themselves until they’re completely disabled.

I almost died at the wave pool at Noah’s Ark when I was six

So, I found my weird Communist quirk

When he was a kid, my dad went to the original Action Park. A few years ago, he took me. When he came in, he said “There’s some things missing, but it seems the same otherwise.”

Action Park had a reputation for poorly designed rides, undertrained and underaged staff, intoxicated guests and staff, and a consequently poor safety record. At least six people are known to have died as a result of mishaps on rides at the park.

What the actual fuck lmao

Sometimes, the water runs out, and everybody is told to get out and spit into the water slide until it is full again.

Is it just me or could you swap those pictures with any water park in the US and nobody could tell the difference?

no, when they post pictures of western water parks they turn up the vibrancy. when they post pictures of DPRK water parks they turn down the vibrancy. big difference

if you can’t tell, I, a North Korea specialist consultant to the US State Department, will explain what your eyes are seeing.

the rainbow colors of the slides is because at the “woke” water park, everyone is forced to become homosexual and get gay married by a general in the Korean army.

also, Kim il sung is allowed to cut in front of everyone to go in the rides and anyone who doesn’t clap for him is beaten with sticks until they deny Christ 3 times.

The only thing that ever makes pictures out of the DPRK look “creepy” is really just that things are often made with materials that look a bit cheap

Which tends to happen when you put a country under a blockade for decades

I often see that from crackers, they complain that NK looks stuck in like the 70’s and gee I bet that has something to do with the fucking embargo the country’s been under since it’s inception like you said.

There also aren’t brands and advertisements everywhere, plus urban areas usually seem sensibly designed. Americans are terrified if they don’t know where the closest Taco Bell is.

Advertising fuck yes that’s what’s missing and I think that’s actually a bigger factor than material quality

Seeing brand logos everywhere is such a part of my daily reality that I didn’t even realize that was what’s missing

Hell, even non-brands have logos! We have logos all over the place!
