A first ride on Rolling Thunder and in the rain?! I hope it rains when I go!

Thanks Harry! They came so close with the cover.

Well, so much for weather permitting.

1) El Toro 2) Rolling Thunder 3) GASM 4) Nitro 5) Batman

Can someone come to work and hold my eyelids open for me?

Achoo! I think something just fell off.

1. Awesome video Dainan 2. See you can have an awesome video without any onride footage 3. I forgive you for the opening

Lil' Thunder was my first coaster ride at GA. Maybe 1981?

Well you guys did a great job! You got all but the elephant in the room from my personel Great ADVENTure calendar.

I'm ready to sleep over at work if it gets deep... No I'm not.

Hey Dainan, thanks for the link. A blessing of You Tube is that you can begin to put together shows with its original cast members. Here’s a few scenes I found from my favorite, Bye Bye Birdie: Hymn for a Sunday Evening (Original Cast performs "Ed Sullivan" on The Ed Sullivan Show ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BsQNfh2qAM Put on a Happy Face (Dick Van Dyke) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA0A8KUnD7I Kids!

I think it's the best type of swing bob ride. The Chance model seems slower and doesn't rock as far. They also make me This year I rode a Chaos at Keansburg and Cedar Point, Demon Drop, Calypso and Matterhorn at Cedar Point (I missed the monster, enterprise and tilt-a-whirl,) an old monster at Lakemont, a double inverter at Geauga Lake, the breakdance and a properly run top spin at Coney Island. There must be a playbook for running the park. I've also ridden the monster spin, calypso and GA's own Pendulum at SFGAm. This year walking down the midways at Fright Fest at SFGAdv was a nightmare but it was much easier 7 or 8 years ago.

This was one of my favorite rides as a kid. The park removed allot of flat rides in the mid 1980's and attendance dropped. The park removed allot of flat rides the past five seasons and the attendance dropped. Just saying.

Why are we all home on a Saturday night

These are great pics Tom. I love the pictures taken infront of the garden where Looney Tunes Shoppe stands today.

Hello everyone. My name is Dan and I've been a Great Adventure-aholic since the 80's. I'm single and my favorite things to do are ride roller coasters and flat rides and complain allot when they remove them. My favorite coaster at the park is Rolling Thunder and also El Toro, GASM and Nitro is okay too. My favorite flat at Great Adventure is Jump and my favorite show of all time were the Ski Shows. My favorite attraction is still the trees. I worked in the Rides department from 2000 to '02 and came back in 2003 and 2007. I also worked in the Employment Center, Recruiting and in Training and Development. I had some really good times and it was the best job I've had to date.
