when did six flags great adventure first open
Six Flags Great Adventure LeRoy collaborated with Hardwicke Industries, who previously built safari parks in Canada and Europe. Together, they set out to open the seven parks in stages over a 5-year period. After a 4,500 invitation-only guest opening on June 30, 1974, the Great Adventure entertainment complex opened to the general public on July 1, 1974, at a price tag of $10 million.[6][7] At the time of the opening, only the Enchanted Forest and Safari parks were operational, and despite plans for a seven-park complex, only those three (if you count Hurricane Harbor) parks were ever realized, with elements from five of the other planned parks being used to create the Enchanted Forest.
Six Flags Great America Six Flags Great America is an amusement park located in Gurnee, Illinois. Part of the Six Flags chain, Great America was first opened in 1976 by the Marriott Corporation as Marriott's Great America. Six Flags has owned and operated the park since 1984, making it the seventh park in the chain.[1] The park offers ten themed areas, as well as Hurricane Harbor, a 20-acre (81,000Â m2) water park, and three specially themed children's areas.[2]
Disneyland Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built to completion under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its official name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s.
