Thank you for the report and the kind words! I can't believe that this thread somehow escaped me until now and I just now read your report. I am very excited to see the film! I'm glad that you liked it. Sounds GREAT to me!
Thanks again.

1979 video: Gurnee Skyrides
Thanks to the generosity of George Jen, GREATAMERICAparks.com has received ultra-rare video footage of the Gurnee park from 1979. George's father, also named George Jen, took his family to Marriott's GREAT AMERICA in 1979. And he took along a video camera, at a time when consumer video cameras were ...

1976 commercial for Marriott's GREAT AMERICA is now up!
I found this 1976 commercial and three others on a reel of 16mm film. Special thanks go to Dave W. and his friend Tom for making the film-to-video transfers possible!!! The colors on the films had nearly all faded to magenta, but Tom did some magic and brought a lot of the color back to life. http:/...

Re: How is the Gurnee park these days?
I was recently at Gurnee for the first time in twelve years. As far as the condition of the park, it all looked to be in great shape to me. Regarding the behavior of the crowds, it seemed to be your typical theme-park crowd. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I'm gradually uploading photo...

Re: another 1983 Marriott's GREAT AMERICA commercial added
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about it. I've had some reservations about putting any of this on YouTube. Will give it some more thought.
Glad you like what's been posted!

Re: Everything's Frozen & Other food memories
Interesting memories there! Seems strange, though, that everything was frozen. The pizza was somewhat famous for that. Otherwise, I never would have guessed that everything else, too, was frozen.

Re: 1983 Marriott's GREAT AMERICA commercial for THE EDGE
Hi, Nicholas, Thanks! If that date is correct, then it definitely beat the Marriott installations. URC is a good site, with good info. So I'm not doubting it much. It's just that sometimes incorrect dates get published by reliable sources -- sometimes because the proper source even has it wrong. I'm...

Re: 1983 Marriott's GREAT AMERICA commercial for THE EDGE
Thanks, MGA1. I'm not sure about that logo, but the big thing missing from the commercial is the actual RIDE! They faked it out. It's funny, but many people view the commercial and take it for granted that they're seeing the real ride. But they are not. I guess that the commercial had to be produced...
