Sunday - October 9, 1988 Join us on a trip through Great Adventure in the Fall of 1988.  The height of the season had passed and crowds were much smaller in the days before Fright Fest. The photos are presented in the order in which they were taken.  The simple captions have been transcribed verbatim from comments written on the back of the photos just after they were developed (yes, this was 1988 when rolls of film were still being used!).
