29yrswithaGApass Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I was pushing for you guy's to use my Super Sidewinder Pic. Oh, well... maybe in the next one. I just can't wait to see the Pic. of The Super Cat!!! With tens of thousands of pictures, getting it down to about 225 was one of the hardest parts of writing the book! We had so much we wanted to include but a limited number of pages to do it. Although we weren't able to use your great shot of the Super Sidewinder, the ride did make the cut. It is in a photo that also includes the "Lil Thunder" roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 In honor of the park's 35th anniversary and the forthcoming release of Images of America: Six Flags Great Adventure we present a preview of 3 of the more than 200 images from the book: Warner Le Roy studies the map of the Safari as construction begins. The Enchanted Forest's original Front Gate structure in 1974. An artists rendering of Rolling Thunder prior to construction in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Does anyone remember this park entrance from 1974 and 1975? For some reason I recall vividly lining up on my very first and going through it in 1974, keeping to the left, and then heading down the incline and wrappinig around past the Bandstand on the Lake to hit the Log Flume first. For years later, before I was really into the park and could figure some things out, I always wondered how we managed to get through the gate and get to the Log Flume so quickly. At the point, I hadn't realized they relocated the entrance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDavid Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I was confused for several years. I remember the first time going to the park entering down by the fort and tents. I thought maybe we had entered through the employee entrance or something, like my dad snuck us in because he knew someone. It was many years before I found out the entrance had been moved.

Railer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Is there an exact date on the Release of the Book? Sorry if it has already been told, I'm at Work and don't have long to dig around looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 They keep telling us August 31st, but I've seen August 26th listed as well. In this case the book won't have a "strict on-sale date", so it can be released as soon as it is received by the bookstore/website/etc. It will all depend on how fast the books are printed and shipped.

nbadude44 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I wonder why Six Flags themselves haven't taken advantage of the fact they have books for this park and SFOG yet. Anyways, I'll get the book once/if it's in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The park placed an order for a large number of books. They will be selling it in all the larger stores throughout the park. They were anxious for us to get it out this season and we were able to do that!

Or would I have to get it offline? Which I really hate doing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4Sing Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Looking forward to this! Barnes and Noble know's I'm coming for it too, I think I scared them last week when I mistakenly thought the book was already out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
