gasmspiritblue Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 What one of these means most to you from great adventure that you would never give up? Please write a description here and post a picture of it so we have a good idea of what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) My favorite publication is the 1989 brochure, it's the only item i own with scream machine being the "hot ride" it was my favorite looping coaster, now it is bizarro.

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 My most loved piece of Great Adventure memorabilia would have to be the original proposal for the park. This is the only copy I have ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I really don't have anything that great, I guess it's the mug I bought from Big Wheel Deals a few years ago (I miss that store!), that had all of the coaster logos on it as of 2005.

robertleax Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The last weekend that scream machine was open we bought the shirts, 2 beer mugs and 2 beer glasses that had the dates of the opening and closing. Then better yet... we got our picture taken wearing the shirts at the entrance and waiting in the que at 9:00 at night that friday when it was raining and no one else was waiting for it to open back up.

batmanrobinchiller Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 My favorite has to be the 1998 park map of the Chiller. I cannot get enough of the Chiller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have a lot of favorite pieces... but my #1 is probably my GASM bolt. It was given to me a year prior to closing and was told that it would be a collection piece very soon, I'm in the market for a keyhole key chain still and also looking for more poster maps, those 2 things haven't been easy to come across in last few years, the maps that had been for sale were going upwards of 50$ and that's a little steep. My collection keeps growing monthly and as soon as I buy my house I'm building a nice display case and insuring all of it just in case of another super storm..got lucky once, not taking a chance for next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 The last day of this season I bought a wooden lion's head sculpture that closely resembled the park's original lion sign once found on Rt.537. It wasn't meant to be that but it was the closest thing I've seen at teh park. I'll have to take a picture of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgetAround Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) My Chiller bolts are very close to me. I have several red and blue ones. But what I love more than that is my Chiller wheel and Viper wheels, true gems of the collection. I have a Batman the Ride brake pad as well that is really neat.

gafreak Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I would kill to have a real piece of GASM! why was that given to you a year prior, was the bolt replaced for some reason? It was from the block brakes, they were changing out one set early one morning before the park opened and they cut out the bolts and reinstalled new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgetAround Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wow, how did you get them? Through working at the park and getting to know several mechanics and higher ups in the rides dept that could authorize release of them. The bolts I simply collected as the ride came down like most guests did at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 My uncle has a enable/ stop buttons from loops. He also has a sign that states "this ride is temporarily closed, please enjoy another attraction at this time". He lives in Florida now so I have of seen them since 2007 when I was down there. I could not stop playing with those buttons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
