29yrswithaGApass Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 If Great Adventure were to bury a time capsule that would be opened decades from now, what items would place in it to remind people of Great Adventure's first 35 years? Keep in mind that space in the time capsule would be limited so don't suggest items like "the blue train from Rolling Thunder" or "the lead float from the Glow in the Park Parade"! A new time capsule area has been added to our galleries and any member can place a photo of their item in it even if you don't have an album set up with us. Visit The Great Adventure Time Capsule and add your item today! I started us off by adding one the park's classic orange drink sippers that were sold throughout the park.

GAcoaster Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm thinking we should have one of the 1974 souvenir books in it and "Images of America: Six Flags Great Adventure". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Hill Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) The Great Adventure Bulletin, would have to be in it! It had a story about me and my elephants in it! Also had the events at the Great Arena, chariot races and such, see it in my video when it gets put on the site, Hell that video should go in it also!

Gary Hill Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) I forgot about Warners hard hat! I laughed my ass off when I first saw him wear it! Good thing he liked me, because he laughed too. The Wardens all zebra striped ours, I forget what happened to it?

gafreak Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 i think adding a picture of the old rainbow logo is important to add in the capsul too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CablesEric Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 The Skyride Counterweights! Seriously, how about a cable car key or the wooden railing tops (Near the Catcher/Unloader) at Western Cables, there is a lot of history carved into those railings. If anyone has some close up pictures of those I'd like to see them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
