Sam Cooper performs a song from the unreleased 2012 musical Action Park, written by Rob Bagley and Sarah Underwood. Jerry, a socially awkward young man, wrestles with asking his crush to ride the log flume while a chorus explores the anxiety and freedom of being alone at an amusement park.
In 2012, in collaboration with Sarah Underwood, a heartfelt song was written for the not-yet-realized show Action Park, in which Jerry, played by Sam Cooper, a socially awkward young man, finally gets up the courage to ask his crush to go on a ride home together in No One Goes to a New Swing Park Alone.
Come on, Seth, let's go ride the log flume.
The log flume!
Pretty awesome!
Sorry, it's only 2 o'clock.
2, 2 o'clock, you can't pay 3. No room for my company.
Makes perfect sense.
I should have known.
I mean, no one goes to an amusement park Amusement park alone.
Side by side, they're in the air, and I'm stuck playing solitaire.
Did I hear a voice?
Nope, just my own.
No one goes to an amusement park alone.
Maybe flying solo's not so bad. There's, there's time to self-reflect. I can stop or go or sit right here. There's no one to object.
I can ride the highest coaster and not worry about my hair, and there's no one to be brave for when I scream into the air.
Oh my gosh, this is awesome! Isn't this awesome?
For to ride this ride, you must be this fall? What can I write when I feel this small?
There's so much to see but nothing to be shown here at this amusement park.
Alone.
