From 1976, here's a photo of one of the brightly colored souvenir carts as seen in the new main entrance area.  Some of the souvenirs like the pennants and tiger/hot air balloon plate date back to 1974.  I wouldn't mind having one of those inflatable dolphins with Great Adventure printed on the side.

If you live in New Jersey you have probably heard of or already experienced the ban on one use bags that went into effect today.  In honor of all those disposable bags from years past, click below to see a wide selection of what has been offered at Great Adventure since 1974.

Just amazing how so many different States have approached the "shopping bag" issue in so many different ways.  Here in Los Angeles County, initially, the story was to save dolphins and marine animals, as well as save the number of trees, cut down for making paper bags.  Stores wanted you to bring your own bags, reusable bags of any material, and always had reusable bags available at the register for purchase.  When COVID started, many stores did NOT want you bringing in previously used bags of any type, but did not provide free bags, returning to paper or plastic (your choice) at 10 cents per bag.  That is where Los Angeles County is stuck at the moment, purchase your bags at 10 cents a bag and you can always bring your own bags.  Of course, in a State the size of California, the bag issue varies from county to county and in some counties, from city to city.  You basically need to know before you go how heavily a county or city regulates bags among retailers as well as whether bags are regulated only for supermarkets, non-supermarkets, drug stores, dry goods (Target, Department Stores like Macy's, etc.).  It's crazy!

It wouldn't stop Great Adventure from using paper bags, since they don't quite qualify as a supermarket ;).  The paper part is ONLY for supermarkets over 2,500 Square Feet.
