Thursday - May 17th, 2012 - Media Day
Great Adventure just got a whole lot greater today
with the opening of Sky Screamer in the new
Adventure Alley section of the park. The attraction is a must-ride
offering fantastic views and
exciting thrills at incredible heights!
Congratulations to the Great Adventure Team for such an entertaining and
informative event and a wonderful new ride! (With four more to
come this year... it's Christmas all over again!)

Once again, Great Adventure is home to a classic Scrambler ride!
This circa 1969 machine is a piece of historic beauty but don't let its
age fool you. It is a fast whipping machine! Vintage
goodness!
DejaVu (Scrambler) and Air Jumbo (elephants) will both open this weekend
for Season Pass holders and to the public on May 23rd. |
