Tuesday - July 24th, 2012
Great Adventure introduced the fourth of its five new attractions for
2012 today - the impressive new King Cobra water slide at Hurricane
Harbor. Sure to be a crowd pleaser, the new attraction is situated
in a portion of the former volleyball and special event beach sand lot.
Meanwhile, construction is in full swing over at the Theme Park of
Fender Benders bumper cars which have just arrived from their
trans-Atlantic journey. All the colorful parts seem to be on site
including 25 new cars and an impressive amount of miniature lights that
will surely add to the beauty of the Adventure Alley section of the park
surrounding the Big Wheel.
