29yrswithaGApass Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I LOVE this picture from Great Adventure's earliest days when they had the glass blower in the red and white Dream Street Tent. I remember watching the artist hanging over that open flame picking at the soft glass making these creations. I never bought one, probably because they were expensive for a kid and pretty fragile to take on a ride. I would love to have a GA Clown today! Anyone remember these?

GAcoaster Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I think I remember the windows of Declaration of Gifts featuring shelves full of those in the sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 The Dream Street Tents use to be really interesting places. They were especially cool before the lowered ceilings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csogi Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I know that I bought my mom a clown with a balloon. I will see if I can get a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I very vaguely remember that, I thought I saw that there as a young kid, but it could have been somewhere else. What years were the glass blowers there, and were they ever by the Big Wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'll have to check into the years. There was a crystal shop near the Big Wheel but I don't think they actually made blown glass items there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I wish they still had it setup. At Disney in the Mexico pavilion and in a store in Downtown Disney I always like to stop and watch them work. I guess more people stop and watch than actually buy anything though.
