Next park original from 1974 is the Super Teepee
This was an actual canvas tent built on a structure of real logs and it was spectacular. Colorful and larger than life just like Warner LeRoy himself, but like so many of his fantastic ideas it wasn’t particularly practical. It was hard to cool in summer, the canvas was damaged or destroyed by storms several times, and the logs were set into the ground and rotted over 30+ years to the point they became structurally unsound which lead to its removal.
It was visually stunning and became one of the park’s icons featured on lots of the merchandise. Though it is gone, it still serves as the icon of GreatAdventureHistory.com
