29yrswithaGApass Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I was looking through a file of documents from when we wrote the book Images of America- Six Flags Great Adventure and came across a bunch of stuff that didn't make the cut for the book. (At least not Volume 1!). Here are some images that were early considerations for the cover. Obviously these were just rough mock-ups. In the end we went with what is probably the most popular ride of all time at Great Adventure, the Log Flume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 This (along with all the photo decisions) was the hardest part of putting the book together! We knew we wanted an iconic ride, and preferably one that had been at the park from opening through publication of the book. We also like the graphic quality of the Scream Machine photo... I think Volume II will have to be a Skyride picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 That's an "If" we do a Volume II...it could happen, but nothing is happening yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I like the scream machine one (of course) or the skyway one looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 We loved that Skyride shot too but there wasn't enough background to properly center the car on the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scipiomask Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah, I think that Skyway shot was interesting, especially with the way the title of the book was right on top of the gondola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
