Saturday - May 7th, 2016 A rather dull and overcast sky gave way to bright sunshine by days-end at Great Adventure. Throughout the park work continued on many of the new for 2016 projects, and some like the SkyBar and new Coca-Cola Refills stand have already opened. I hope you enjoy these photos of the theme park including the Safari Off Road Adventure! |

The JOKER was testing throughout the day today. One observation is
that the ride is very quiet (at least without screaming guests).
