Action Man

[Mr.man]

Who remembes the Action Man Assault Course thing. I never got to expirience it myself but I found it in the old maps and wondered what it was all about! Discuss here!

It was a random assortment of kids playground things...Was actually epic back in the day, but Action Man lost it's popularity so it's death was to be expected...Oh well, least we have Playhouse and Capers now...

I always went in Action Man when I visited. It was quite popular and large, I remember, but very randomly designed. The area where it used to be is totally unrecognisable now.It began in a small building with images of tough looking guys on the walls (Action Man's enemies?). Most of the lighting was broken. Then you went outside on to a standard playground plank-walk thing. Then a bigger obstacle course with chain bridges and climbing frames. There was also a strange device on the wall that would play sound effects when you pressed buttons at this point. It broke not too long before the attraction was removed, however.Then you turned a corner into a slightly wooded area (I think?) and had the choice of going up a little hill or carry on straight. On top of this mound was a snake pit, in which you walked over a rope bridge which had rubber snakes underneath that occasionally squirted water up at you. Sometimes this section was closed off, I remember, hence the alternative route, probably because the ropes had broken. Then came a short tunnel that you had to crawl through, and then it was pretty much the end.

You forgot the ice zone! I remember being scared of getting stuck in the massive ice spikes you had to get through

I remember going on this once when I was younger, I don't think I found it very enjoyable though, nothing exciting.

I used to go here all the time and spend hours in the ice zone. I still have all of my action men lol.
