29yrswithaGApass Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yes !!! ANSWER: The area pictured in the photo was the site of the park's original exit gates. Once outside the gates, trams were available (in the general vacinity of Balin's Jungle Land) to take you to your car. If anyone has a photo of the exit gate, we would love to see it!

pashacar Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Just out of curiosity, how far was the exit gate from the entrance gate, and what was the logic behind having them separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 The entance and exit were right next to each other, similar to how they are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 ANSWER: This was Bugs Bunny's jacket. The Uncle Sam style Bugs Bunny outfit was originally created for Great America, and when Ray Williams was transferred to Great Adventure as the new park president in 1987, the Uncle Sam Bugs costume was introduced and was the primary costume used in the park for several years.

warnerleroy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 it was posted on a tree on a public road behind the lake that runs on SF property telling people not to hunt or do anything on SF property that is illegal. That sign is probably still up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
