As long as Upper Management gets their heads screwed on straight and the economy finally stabilizes, I think we have a very bright future at the park.

Unfortunately though, you need to understand that times are changing and the park will never be the same way as it once was.

I very much understand the beauty of the park in the 80's. Trust me. It's just that business wise, people of this day and age aren't going to visit a park that's themed to look like a fantasy world (With the exception of Disney, only because Disney is a Universal icon and will ALWAYS be popular).

Great Adventure is part of the Six Flags chain, and as much as I hate to say it, Six Flags will ALWAYS be referred to as a 'Thrill Park'.

Six Flags can NEVER be family oriented. There are too many big rides to make it feel like a family park.

Adding family rides will only make new guests less happy, because they are expecting more out of the company.

As far as I'm concerned, business wise, the park MUST get with the times and begin adding attractions people WANT.

It saddens me to think that people wouldn't be happy with Bumper Cars as our new attraction for an upcoming season, however you all have to agree with me here when I say times have changed, and people want current, up-to-date thrill out of Six Flags.

Myrtle Beach Pavillion or Casino Pier, NJ?

^Trust me, we are constantly changing in there, as you probably know! We are currently finishing up working on our 'Costume Corner'. Expect some webbing, signage, and dimmed lights! The store is turning itself around!

Space Shuttle's original footings?

Hey there! My name's Chris, and I work in retail at Daily Planet Gift Shop. I'm new to this site's forums, but have been following the updates for some time now. I'm all over the internet, I used to have my own Great Adventure fansite, and I like coaster debate =)

I'm excited to finally be on these boards and I hope I have some fun along the way!
