    The gas station opened for the 1980 season and the original gasoline it sold was Getty. I have no idea how many pumps it originally opened with.

    I'd also like to see a spotlight on the arena. Until then, can anyone tell me exactly when and why the name changed from The Great Arena to the Northern Star Arena?... I'm sorry, but personally, The Great Arena just is so much more appropriate and original. Northern Star Arena sounds like something Ray Williams might have brought with him from his days at SFOT (which has the Southern Star Amphitheater).

    This might sound a little crazy, especially because all of the spotlights have been on park attractions, but I would like to see a spotlight on Larry B. Cochran. Personally, I think he influenced the park more than anyone other than Warner LeRoy and certainly laid the ground work for the park becoming the "cash cow" and (ultimate) flagship of Six Flags.

    Once again, an incredible representation of the park's past. I was surprised, however, to not see the 1975 color print advertisement that appeared in McCall's magazine. If you do not have it, let me know and I will be happy to send you a copy of it.

    I just wanted to chime in on the gas prices you are paying in Jersey... With prices very close to $5.00 (I paid $4.87 a gallon today) here in Los Angeles, New Jersey's gas prices are a bargain. And, remember, in Jersey, they pump the gas for you for those prices. Here, if you buy full-serve, you're over $5.00. It's not a pretty picture.

    Is it 4... Buccaneer, Jolly Roger, Black Beard's Lost Treasure Train, and Skull Mountain.

    Hernando's Hideaway was the name of the games building situated at the exit to Rolling Thunder, was it not?

    Springtime Rainbow - It would make a good logo!
    It would make the perfect logo... In fact, I will never understand why Time Warner did away with the individual park logos... Yes, you need a unified identity for the corporate brand (the Six Flags logotype of the time that each park did incorporate into their logos), but you also need uniqueness for each individual park if you plan to draw from outside your local market. Bring back the rainbow! 1978 SFGA Logo
