Yankees99 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Well done. Great stuff. Would love to see a permanent exhibit there. Love the Gingerbread Fancy sign post. What other former rides are in the tent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanrobinchiller Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Congratulations guys! I'll be stopping by next week Harry. I'd like to get my hands on an employee/ex-employee button! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 What else does great adventure have in storage? Ride-wise the only adult one on site is Chaos which will never return to service. What other former rides are in the tent? We have a Rolling Thunder car, a Monster Spin car, Hand Crank car, and a Calypso car. We also have memorabilia from other attractions like the Right Stuff/Dino Island, Adventure Rivers, Looney Tunes Seaport, etc. Congratulations guys! I'll be stopping by next week Harry. I'd like to get my hands on an employee/ex-employee button! haha Rob, we can hook you up with a button! I'll be away from museum coverage for the next few days but hopefully there when you stop in next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually thinking about going either Tuesday or Thursday. Are you covering those days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 ^ Tuesday should be good. See you soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 While we didn't do a Spotlight on it yet, we have added the Museum to our Great Adventure Attractions Menu. I must say that it is really gratifying knowing EVERYONE here helped inspire an attraction at Great Adventure! Nice going Great Adventure fans!

truepolak90 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The Museum looks fantastic!! I can't wait until I get out to the park to check it out. You guys truly did a phenomenal job on it! So much nostalgia and memories, this is an attraction that will surely be appreciated by everyone. I couldn't be any more proud to be a member of such an awesome site!!

GAcoaster Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just remember it's a limited time that the Museum will be open so get there soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbadude44 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Any sort of accurate time frame as to how long this is going to be here? I'm not exactly sure when my next park visit is going to be, but I REALLY want to see all of this awesome stuff for myself in person! I'm so glad that you guys have stuck a deal with the actual park to make something like this even possible. Not to mention, it might even convince a some people to check out this glorious website. Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 The initial timeframe was for two weeks so it will be in place at least through July 13th. It is possible it may be extended depending upon what can be worked out with coverage and availability of the space. It has proven to be pretty popular so fingers crossed!

scott Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I’m so disappointed in myself. I knew that the hours were 12 to 4 but I forgot. I got to the park yesterday afternoon and didn’t head over until 6. It looks great from what I could see peeking in the windows. I hope I make it back to the park before the exhibit closes. From my limited view it looks like a lot of hard work and I know if I get back to go inside I will be able to relive my youth, going back through the 70's 80's and 90's and sharing some of my memories with my kids. OK so maybe I wasn’t so much a kid in the 90’s but I always felt like I was. Thank you for the work you put into the project. Again, it looks great from my limited view and it will only get better when I see it all from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 This looks awesome! I hope to be up at the park on the 16th, so hopefully it will still be open! I would love to check this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC98 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I just heard that I will finally be able to make it out to the park sometime this month or in August. Will the museum still be open? If it will be I'll stop by when I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 ^ If you visit in August probably not. Options for the last few weeks of July are under consideration. We will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc98 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 How often are you at the Museum Harry? It would honestly be an honor to meet you if i happen to see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Harry, this is so cool; congratulations. I hope to make it to the park in time to see it in person, but it's unlikely, so the pictures are much appreciated. Keep them coming!

fetish911 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I got to visit the museum today. It was great. Loved the little Adventure Rivers model! And the RT train made me misty eyed! I was hoping you (Harry)would be there so I could meet ya! But alas, it was not meant to be lol! Srsly though, nice job on the museum. I was trying so hard to not geek out and start rattling off GA trivia !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be dropping in at some point tomorrow (Thursday) and Sunday. It would be a pleasure to meet you too! Harry, this is so cool; congratulations. I hope to make it to the park in time to see it in person, but it's unlikely, so the pictures are much appreciated. Keep them coming! Thanks, it really is nice to see it all come together especially since this has been an idea that we have hoped for (and hinted for) for years! I got to visit the museum today. It was great.

Srsly though, nice job on the museum. I was trying so hard to not geek out and start rattling off GA trivia !! Sorry I missed you, but I am happy to hear you enjoyed it! Stop back if you get a chance. It is great that I got to meet so many people from this site and fans of the park. If anyone visits and sees a guy walking about the place or hanging stuff up that is probably me. Give a shout and ask - if its not me, the worse thing they could say is "thank God no!"

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 We have this sign from the children's water play area Koala Canyon in the museum. The cutest question I have received so far was from a little boy asking me "where was the Dingo ride located?" He thought he had missed it! Of course after that all I could think of was: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
