After months of painstaking research, writing, and one case of corrupted recording audio, the first of my long teased Action Park episodes is finally here. Apologies for the poor audio quality, this was recorded in my mom's closet, and a bit of an echo developed. In this part I will be covering the founding of the park, and it's ski resort beginnings, as well as cover the part of the park known as Motorworld.
