| New descriptions have been added to the historical photos in the Main Street Emporium. The hostess in the shop said to me that I should buy the Images of America- Six Flags Great Adventure book if I liked the old photos. I told her that I was an author of the book. She looked at me like - yeah, sure! | ||

| It is cool to think that with everything going on in the park right now that there is still another ride coming that we haven't even seen as well as a one-of-a-kind water slide in Hurricane Harbor! | ||
