Love these long-form documentaries. Even if they don’t perform the way you hope, I’ll watch them every time
-
Great Adventure is my home park and the I’ve always wanted to learn more about its history and it’s so nice seeing you doing a documentary on it. Judging of your other documentaries this one is going to be amazing!
-
Thank you for honoring Harry, he was one of Great Adventures biggest fans of all time and it’s a shame he passed before the big 50th. I thank him for creating Great Adventure History.
-
So excited to go on this journey (let's call it, an adventure) with the park I've called home the entirety of my 30 years on this planet.
-
Great video! This park has a very interesting history! The 1984 fire will be interesting to hear about next episode. I really enjoyed watching this!
-
Finally, a documentary for a park I’ve actually BEEN TOO! Super excited!!
-
This is my home park. My sisters and I grew up in this park. In fact my sisters both worked there while I was born 24 days after its opening. I love that you have chosen to document Great Adventure. Have many stories to share which I hope to contribute as more episodes are added. I am DEFINITELY sharing these videos with my family. In fact, I would not be surprised if we ended up watching it together when all episodea have been uploaded.

I’ve loved all your Docs but been hoping for this one. Grew up with this place! I Was 4 in 74.

Yeeeeesssss another history-of-documentary. Probably my favorite of your video series. Probs to you, and all the time you put in them! Cheers!

This video really hits home for me. SFGA was the park for my family back when I was a kid, and I have a lot of memories of a lot of the rides mentioned in this video. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, but 'Episode 1' will easily be my most near-and-dear. Many thanks!!!
