29yrswithaGApass Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Stars in Stripes is a headline they used in a souvenir booklet years ago promoting the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I think that is where I got confused with this one. I knew the Tiger show was the McMillan thing, but through the official name for it was Stars and Stripes. Interesting though for sure. And to think I thought I was clever knowing I had seen it in the history pages on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnerleroy Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I"d say the barns or graveyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4Sing Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) I'd say the Safari headquarters and storehouses. Also probably an animal hospital. Processing center for new arrivals. Here is the birds eye view. The large area could be a quarantine area for the newbies too. The open area behind the blue square thing looks like it could be the boneyard, but I am not sure. Not sure if the blue square is a sewage treatment facility. The oval waterway is a mystery too. Would make a heck of a paintball field, no?

J4Sing Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have a bonus one here. Does anyone know what the green area to the left of the Lion section is? It is off the Safari, but seems to still be on the property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daved Thomson Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 QUESTION #60: At Great Adventure, what can be found inside the red circle? From what I understand, it's the animal quarantine area with the safari medical facilities being the buildings surrounded by trees in the lower left portion of the circle. The water pumping/treatment plant is located toward the right within the circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 ANSWER: The area is primarily a segregated section of the safari where animals are kept for various reasons including sepeartion during certain times of the year such as mating season. The buildings include veterinarian facilities as well as offices for the Safari staff. Towards the back of the area are water treatment and Municipal Utilities Authority facilities. (Note: The top two photos were taken while on the VIP Off-Road Adventure Tour and the bottom photo was taken from a public roadway. Do not trespass!)

Railer Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Switlick Mansion for the Bonus Question? If it's not the mansion, where is it on the Aerial shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 ^ It's right around the word "History" in the GreatAdventureHistory.com watermark along the bottom of the overall aerial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 On the other side of Reed Rd.? And I suppose your back gate shot of the MUA is from either Reed Rd. or a road off of Reed Rd. correct? I have never been on the "back" side of the property before, this Fall I will have to take a ride around and check it out. I love alot of those road's in Jackson and Plumstead in the Fall.

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 It is on the park side of Reed Road. The MUA gate picture was taken off of Perrineville Road which is between Reed Road and I-195. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I thought you meant the word "history" by the Balloon Logo in the bottom right, my bad. So the Mansion is right next to the Safari, I always wodered where the mansion was since I first heard about it here. What kind of shape is it in? Is it used for anything these days?

CablesEric Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) I was back by the mansion in '99 or '00 doing some grounds crew work for the Scout camp outs they have back there. I believe the mansion was occupied at the time by one of the park executives. Not sure which one, I want to say Al Rubano. (on a side note, I noticed that during the pre-show for TDK, the ticker has a request for Al Rubano to call Guest Services.)

J4Sing Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) I didn't even know there was a Switlick mansion. Now I want to see it. So what about the bonus question I posted? If that isn't the Switlick house, what is it? Edited September 22, 2008 by J4Sing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Eric, I believe it was Jerry Jordan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
