  1. Greetings! My name is Harry and I worked as a ride operator on Parachuter's Perch (aka Parachute Jump Tower) during the 1985 and 1986 seasons. Because the ride always managed to shut down even in the slightest winds, I spent quite a bit of time in the neighboring rides of the "130" section. These included the Sarajevo Bobsled, Joust-a-Bout, Carousel, Monster Spin, and the always exciting Bugs Bunny Land. In 1985 I worked the nightshift up until July and then switched to days for the remainder of my time during '85 and all of '86 until my return to college. Needless to say, it was a great job with a ton of wonderful memories!

     

     

  2. During the Time Warp's first season, for several weeks it featured a sign that read "The Peter Arthur Time Warp". Does anyone know who Peter Arthur was or why the ride was named after him? :unsure:

  3. Welcome Great Adventure Fans!

     

    My name is Harry and my current forums name is 29yrswithaGApass€. As the name implies I have been a Great Adventure seasons pass holder for almost three decades straight, and I have visited GA almost every year since it opened in 1974.

     

    Taking pictures of the park and collecting Great Adventure memorabilia have been hobbies of mine since some of those earliest visits. My friend Tom and I launched this site just a few short months ago, and with so many stories yet to tell, I can guarantee you that we are just getting started!
