Hedgegoat Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 That was fun to see. Except the 1977 Brochure's cover is just plain creepy to me. The reindeer-rainbow wearing "funky" disco clown's dead eyes and gaped mouth. The jug headed, ice cream drooling kid who seems oblivious to the stains he's creating on his cotton blend shirt. I know they're artist renderings of actual photos in the 'chure, but wow how did they think that was a good idea?! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 In all my years of collecting Great Adventure memorabilia I was really surprised to discover that there were two versions of the 1976 pamphlet - both with the exact same cover. The maps inside are completely different. I am curious to hear feedback on what you think of the approach with sharing these pamphlets. In addition to scans of the brochures we wanted to include details on how the pamphlets actually look if you had them in your hands. We did this by including the overall and individual panel highlights: Overall example: Individual panel example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medusa42 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Nice! I hate the 2018 and 2019 maps because I find them hard to use. I wish they would go back to the maps that list everything by park section instead of thrill level. I know some parks are still using that style of map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new maps are way too clunky since they don't fold neatly as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn41103 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Harry, not sure if you're aware, but the links for your 1993 and 1994 poster maps aren't correct. The links are currently mapped to a hard drive instead of a website URL. Awesome job collecting all of these documents and sharing it with all of us! Such incredible history available at our fingertips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Thanks lynn41103. The links have been fixed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 When the park stopped handing out paper maps at the park I thought it was a decision of Six Flags corporate to eliminate paper nationwide. I was surprised to see on a video of SF Great America’s 2023 opening day that they have paper pamphlet maps this year. We need these back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think they should just sell poster maps again to supplement the app map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
