29yrswithaGApass Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The space is primarily used for season pass processing and sometimes as terror trail ticket sales during Fright Fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsblumen Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I stopped by the museum yesterday. Great job! It was great seeing exhibits in person rather than on this website. It was great that the park provided signs and other artifacts which really added to the "in person" feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just a friendly reminder that this will be the last week for the museum. If you haven't had a chance to visit yet you have until Sunday to stop in and take a look around. Thanks to everyone who did drop in and for all the encouraging words of support. This was our first attempt at an exhibit like this with a relatively short amount of time to pull it together. Next time we will have experience on our side so watch out!

Yankees99 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 The museum is something that must be a permanent attraction at GA. They should build another tent to house the collection of artifacts so that generations of visitors coming to GA have a clearer idea of what the park has meant since it opened in 1974. I'm sure Harry knows the ins and outs of the park more than any of those high up on the food chain who are running the park. Keep the museum in tact!!!!!!!

jonlee Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I hope i can make it to the park to see this! It should be a permanent part of the park. I wonder if vintage replica shirts, pins, postcards can be made so that it can sell things and generate some form of revenue. If they did that, then they would need to hire an employee to run the sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANofNJ Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 This past Sat I was at the park with a buddy, and when we were walking past the Museum, we stopped in to kill a few minutes. I noticed a few more items were added from the first time I stopped in a couple weeks ago. But the best was, my friend was looking at stuff on the counter where the employee was sitting, and he noticed a few SF yearbooks on the counter. He knew I worked at the park years ago, and asked me if any of them were from the yrs I worked. So I took a quick look, I noticed they had one from 1996. Well to make a long story short, I found a pic of me in it, standing at the Freefall operators panel. Cant believe its been almost 20 yrs since I worked at the park.

DANofNJ Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) ^ Yep, damn long time ago. I didn't even notice on Sat that I was in 2 pictures. Cant believe all the weight I have gained since then. Edited July 24, 2014 by DANofNJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 There are only three more days to visit the Great Adventure History Museum. It is your last chance to stop in and see all the things you may have thought you would never see again prior to the museum opening. Got all that? Just Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and then it is Great Adventure history! At least until we do a Spotlight on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaynGADV Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just went to the museum yesterday, or at least, saw it through the windows because it was 8 PM. One of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Will you be doing this again in years to come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I've gone twice the past couple of weeks, and earlier today, however Harry there is one thing in te museum I have no idea of what it is. It's an artists rendering on the table next to the gondola ride carving and looks to resemble no area in the park, past or present, it does have a tent like structure, kinda looks like hyrdoflume's tent station but I still can't figure out when/what it is? Can you lend some insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 ^ Is this the photo you are thinking of? If so, it is a rendering of Kiddie Kingdom dating back to 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yes that's exactly what it is! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is that one of the Duell renderings? I've seen the others of the Grand Prix area from the same time and they are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm looking forward to seeing all of this stuff on Sunday. I'm also thinking of making a quick video of the inside the museum to put on YouTube so it can be seen after the museum is closed if people on here would like it.

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Only two more days to visit the museum. After that we move on to our next goal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) ^ I got it! Let's make a "Back to the Future" ride where you go on a trip to July 1974 for the park's grand opening- with other dates ranging through the decades up to today! Complete with a stop including rideable reproductions of Chiller and RT Edited July 26, 2014 by RC98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I visited the museum today, great job! Brought back a lot of childhood memories and it was really great to see in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 And then there was only one.... Sunday July 27th is the last day to visit the Great Adventure History Museum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 The locked doors say it all. Thanks to everyone for visiting and/or supporting the Great Adventure History Museum. As a first of its kind exhibit, the turnout and feedback has been wonderful. Hope to see you all soon at some encore presentation of Great Adventure's past.

gasmspiritblue Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 This was one of the greatest things I have ever seen in Great Adventure history at the park. There was just something about it that gave you a real feel of the park's history, something this site does great, but when it's in person, it gets real. Thank you Harry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
