The Adventure Begins: The History of Six Flags Great Adventure, Episode 1

This is Part 1 of a 5 part documentary celebrating Six Flags Great Adventure's 50th Anniversary. This episode focuses on the park's origins and the first 10 years of its life, from its opening days, to its sale to Six Flags, the rapid expansion to keep up with the crowds, and the myriad of rides that came and went during that time.

HUGE thanks to GreatAdventureHistory.com and the late Harry Applegate who graciously gave me access to the site's content to make this documentary possible. Please check out their amazing website and YouTube channel for more information than you could ever ask for about Great Adventure.
