News & Notes:  For the 1999 season, Great Adventure declared a "war on lines" and introduced 25 new rides, including the world's first "floorless" roller coaster, Medusa.    Medusa was built behind the Arena and Runaway Mine Train on a site that was originally approved for construction of a wooden "cyclone" style roller coaster which was never built.

A bunch of flat rides of all shapes, sizes and styles were added throughout the park, and an entirely new children's area known as Looney Tunes Seaport took the place of Adventure Rivers.
