In 1996, Action Park permanently closed on September 2 due to bankruptcy and mounting lawsuits. Prior to the full shutdown, multiple rides had already been closed because of safety and financial issues, alongside a significant drop in visitor numbers. The Cannonball Loop water slide, briefly reopened during the summer of 1996, was permanently removed after additional injuries, marking one of the final ride removals before the park ceased operations entirely that year.
