Friday - April 3rd, 2015
If I had a dollar for each time it has rained on opening day at Great
Adventure over the years, I would be a rich man. Even so, a little
water (or at times a lot of water) didn't ruin the fun of being back in
the park after a long cold winter. Almost every ride was open and
the park looked nice and ready for what will be an EXTRA long season
this year! Wishing everyone a fantastic 2015 season, here are some
opening day photos.

A new walkway through the Old Country will be open during peak times
primarily during major outings in the picnic grove and Fright Fest. |

I love that the park isn't afraid to use the the words "Great Adventure"
or "G.A." instead of just the Six Flags corporate name. |

Sitting on the end seat, the Safari Off Road Adventure got me more wet
today than Congo Rapids did last season. |

Attitudes had a major off-season remodeling including a new flooring, a
redesigned layout, and the removal of some doors and the addition of
display windows. It also seems like some neon may be soon
installed on the ceiling of the store. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
The Flags tent also received a new floor, the Boardwalk Arcade was
expanded, and the red and white tent has all its windows blackened. |

Once it stopped raining the Big Wheel opened and a better view of the
Old Country walkway could be seen. |
