Great Adventure Construction-- A look back 50 years

[GAcoaster]

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted through the site's Facebook page by someone whose father worked on the park's opening in 1974. Her father had recently passed and she wanted to share his photos of the park under construction. These photos are undated but appear to be from approximately mid May, almost exactly 50 years ago today.

Be sure to check them all out: Great Adventure Contruction Pictures from 1974

Here are a couple of highlights from the 17 photos we received:
