Saturday - October 6th, 2012
This was probably the first Saturday in Great
Adventure's history when the theme park was the only park that was open
at Great Adventure. Even so, the Safari animals still seemed to be
roaming their homes grazing as usual.
Check out all the photos below for some preliminary work in Frontier
Adventures and the large crowds that turned out for the Electronic
Adventure concert series and Fright Fest.

Looking in from Reed Road, nothing new in the Safari. |

The Safari has been removed from all the entrance roadway signs. |

The Safari entrance looked lonely Saturday. |

Electric Adventure packed in the crowds. |

Alternate directions were posted in the ticket windows to reroute
traffic slowed by this week's Turnpike fire. |
Both the Safari and Hurricane Harbor were removed from the Park Hours
boards. |

The first signs of work inside the park for the Safari Off Road
Adventure have started. A portion of the Log Flume has been
removed to bring in equipment to prepare the site. Frontier
Adventures will look very different next season. While the Log
Flume is safe, some of the buildings won't be as lucky. |

The ghouls look really good this year, especially the makeup. From
the western ghouls in the Bone Butcher Terror-tory, to the pirates and
clowns, and all the other monsters - scary looking stuff! |
