I'm heartbroken at this announcement. It is thanks to you and him that I was able to learn more about my favorite theme park. I'm glad I got to meet him once at the Great Adventure History Museum. 

Thank you both for all you've done!! Rest in Peace, Harry.

Hi all!

I went to Great Adventure this past Friday, I was glad to be back!

First ride of the day was Skull Mountain, and...

No strobes, effects, music... anything really?

Has it been that way for a while, or did I just happen to have an unlucky ride?

Thanks 

Does anyone have a digital vector or image of the lion sign with the Great Adventure flag?

Wanted to use it as a decal for a sticker or maybe a t-shirt lol

Thanks

I went to Six Flags Great Adventure today for the first time since 2015! I flew up to NJ this weekend for a bridal shower and decided it was way too long since I've been. Despite the holiday, there were barely any waits. So glad I could go!

Sorry the photos aren't of amazing quality, but my grandmother recently showed me a photo book of theirs with photos of my family at Great Adventure. Lightning Loops, Swabinchen, and Screamer. They are permanently glued in a book so I scanned these with my phone.

It sure is a shame that SFGA got rid of their pinball parlor. They are such classic attractions. I work on them for a living now!

This is my latest one that I shopped and teched out, Black Knight 2000. A classic from 1989.

It's interesting that they're keeping the bridge. I hope they at least re-design it with the area losing the nautical theming.

I see on the GAH page for this that the timeline ends at 2019. Was this demolished?

Got some great gifts this year! Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone [:

It's been a while since I've been on, but I wanted to share some great news. I got my first job since graduating college 

Really nice report, I especially liked seeing that the loop tops from the Great American Scream Machine are still there. I wonder if they plan to reuse the original drive through entrance eventually, since they're sprucing it up some?

I know there are other people on here who may also be graduating college this year, so this is a shout out to us for the hard work that we've been through these past four (If you're getting your Bachelors like myself) years! Congrats to those getting their Masters and Doctorates as well! I know we don't get to graduate like most other classes do, but it's still a time to celebrate!

Congrats to all graduates  

What degree does everyone have? I'm going to have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering 

Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates

I hope everyone and their loved ones are happy and healthy!

That was open to the public from 1991 to 2006.  It didn’t have any seats but was just used for like watching the rapids and rafts go by.  

Interesting, thanks!

Koala Canyon was removed during the 2006/2007 off season including the grass covered benches.

 

Could it be you saw the small observation deck which was located next to Koala Canyon and added in 1991 as part of Adventure Rivers?

 

Yeah that's probably it then. Was that open to the public or was that staff use only? 

I feel like I remember back in 2013 or 14 you could still see the cabanas/little sitting areas from Congo Rapids, as seen in this photo:

I'm sure since it's been 6+ years plus the Jersey Devil construction they're definitely gone now though. 

I love Google Earth Pro's rewind feature. The pictures from 2002 are decent. 

Yesterday evening I was watching YouTube with my brother and my mom on the living room TV. The tour74 video came up in my recommendations, so we watched it. From there we watched the different ride videos that have been uploaded to YouTube by you guys. It allowed my mom to really reminisce about the times she went when whe was a teenager (like her favorite roller coaster was Shockwave). So even though they've been up for years, thank you still for uploading them because it allowed for an uplifting night in these days of uncertainty. 

I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and doing okay!

Decided to try out the code window in the text box for my "about me" page and wound up wiping half of the page by mistake! 

Still haven't figured out how it works...

New about me page in the works as well now due to my mistakes lol

They still don't, unfortunately.

That's a shame!

I love the tree interior of the canopy, its beautiful!

I'm moving back to Pennsylvania in July so hopefully the summertime!

I wonder how they're going to rework the area for the entrance.
