Yoshi Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 After reading both spotlights, I like the look of the original version better with the theming. Without the Olympic rings, the theme would go great with HITP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 This has to be what I would consider the best image of Great Adventure's original Swiss Bob ride that I have run across so far. Such vibrant colors! If the image looks a little familiar, it was a variation of the picture in the 1974 Souvenir Booklet. Notice the riders are the same!

29yrswithaGApass Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 It is interesting to note that the original Swiss Bob did not have seatbelts for its first few years of operation (at least until 1978). That makes the story of the Jumbo Jet never opening in 1975 because it didn't have seatbelts even more of a mystery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Here is a photo from 1976 of the original Swiss Bob when the ride was located in Fun Fair. You can see the back panel of the 1976 guide map in the boy on the left's hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
