29yrswithaGApass Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The accuracy of the poster size park maps printed by Image Graphics from 1976 to 1987 has always amazed me. They even captured the "rocks" on the side of the Super Cat ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Almost all of the early circular ride's queue bars were curved to match the perimeter of the rides (i.e. Flying Wave, Matterhorn, etc.). I wonder if the Super Cat's rectangular queue bars were the same ones originally installed for the Jumbo Jet with its straight-edged footprint?

The Master Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 GADV could really stand more rides like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I finally found proof, Kings Dominion had the same model Supercat though theirs had the name Vertigo (it is very briefly seen in Roller Coaster). Here is a picture Kings Dominion posted on their Facebook page for "Throwback Thursday": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlumeOp1974 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Wow fantastic! Still looks like fun. Great find. And to anwser your qyestion yes the queue was for Jumbo Jet. There was also a fence that ran down the left as well. A leftover from Jumbo Jet as well. The coaster was to have a load area on the right. Un load on the left. train hold accross the front. with one on the circuit. Pretty slick? It carry 2,000 passangers a hour. Which if memory serves me right the park needed six hosts. And one operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Photos of the Super Cat are few and far between so anytime I run across anything Super Cat related it is exciting. Here is a night shot of the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Nice find. I always enjoy anything found on the "Super Cat", i rode it almost every visit when it was in the Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurenalexis Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I was looking around online trying to find parks that had rides that Six Flags Great Adventure once operated. I'm not really able to find many pictures of it, but a park in Minnesota called ValleyFair apparently has the same model Super Cat that Great Adventure once did. There is some 8mm footage of it I could find on Youtube https://youtu.be/H8oSjOtFY2s?t=83 and a walkthrough from 2018 https://youtu.be/r4HRM6C3B_Y?t=2112. In the 8 mm film, it looks identical to the Great Adventure model, as far as I can see from the fencing. In the walkthrough, the guy pans and looks at it. It's definitely the same ride, though they have restored it and changed the outside of it. According to their website, it still stands and operates today. Given, the picture of the ride only features pictures of the seats. It looks like the park has a Monster Spin, Looping Starship, and a Ladybug ride, as well. Since there's not many pictures of the GA Super Cat, I thought this was cool to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
