The ostrich was dusting himself in the dirt, it helps keep mites and other bugs off them

Animals dancing and or calling annoyingly is one of two “F” words. One of them is fighting. 😂

When the safari FIRST opened you drove through in your own car, then in the 2000s they closed it as a separate attraction and drove you through in their vehicles that you boarded in great adventure. They reverted it to it's original form during the pandemic.

@xtedlamx Год назад

Yes! I remember being in the family vehicle with the monkeys jumping on the windshield. memories.

@Kimberly-dt4ko Год назад

I was going to say that in the 70"s and 80's you drove your own vehicle through. As to the monkeys, I remember one chewing on the rubber around the windshield and when my friend's father tried to chase it off it peed on the windshield. Good times.

Oh let me tell you there are so many crazy stories I can tell you. The one year my car broke down and I was around the kangaroos I was trying to wave people down. Everyone thought I was saying Hi no one had common sense. The one guy working there said just get out and wait they won't hurt you I'm like what so I'm outside hang around kangaroos. This is back when most of us do not have cellphones if you did it was so expensive have a plan we're talking the nineties here. Anyways I got my car working but I decided it was probably gonna break down again so I said we're going to spend the rest of the day in the museum park we came back I got my car told home I lived less than a 100 100 miles away I got home it was all good. Seriously I can tell you other wacky stories but they're probably not appropriate to be on here so have a good time peace out everyone.

Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca used to have a parachute ride from the 1970's to the 1990's. It had a "sky cabin" that you stood in that went up to about your chest. Because you were standing, there were no seat belts or anything else to keep you secured in the cabin. I remember riding it as a kid with my dad and it was pretty scary. Didn't know those rides still existed. Brings me back to my childhood for sure. 😀

@ShadowedDemonSpawn Год назад

The ones on this parachute ride has always been sitting ones. It's kinda crazy they had a parachute ride with no seats. Probably why it got removed.

@jeffmcmanigal3722 Год назад

@@ShadowedDemonSpawn Yeah, didn't want to bring this up, but I remember hearing when I was a kid that somebody jumped from one of the sky cabins. It was ruled a suicide, thus the ride closed a few years later. Things were a lot different back in the 70's and 80's with safety standards. We would never see a ride like that again.

I believe the last ride vehicle that you showed, you referred to it as "looking like some sort of dangly vehicle," was from a ride named the Enterprise. This was my favorite ride when I was younger. I rode this ride so often that I could have very well been a passenger in that very vehicle. Thanks for the nostalgia!

@donnagormannewell5225 Год назад

We would visit in the 70s and 80s. You would drive your own car through back then, but they added the safari buses later on. When first opened, there did not use to be fences or barriers between your car and the lions, tigers or monkeys. The monkeys would climb all over your car and sometimes tear off radio antennas, wiper blades or body side molding. My daughter rode Kingda Ka the day it opened. Right after her ride they shut the ride down, and it did not reopen till the next season.

@grantleyhughes Год назад

I was doing a behind the scenes tour at a zoo, and actually booped a female panther on the nose. Luckily she accepted the boop with good grace instead of pulling me through the bars. I have that as a very special moment. Her eyes went all round. I love all cats.

@carouselofLaura Год назад

Omgoodness! My home park! I grew up going here. The safari was always a drive thru with your own car. In the early 90s before the monkeys were fully enclosed they were known to occasionally steal a bumper. 😂 You used to be able to tune in your radio to an AM station and hear info about the park (and potentially the Safari I don’t fully remember).

11:33 Houdini's Great Escape is actually a madhouse. A lot of theme parks in the United States don't have madhouse rides, unlike Europe. There is a madhouse ride in New Hampshire also.

@roberthuppert4912 Год назад

Although I live in San Diego now,I grew up in Freehold,N.J.,and Great Adventure was about 10-15 minute drive,so went there often. I even worked there for one summer.Loved the drive thru Safari! Back in the day,some cars had vinyl roof toppings,and even though people are warned a million times not to drive through where the baboons are,and some SCHMUCK would get their cars chewed up! It was hysterical!😂😂🤣

That Roller coaster car photo op was a car from the late ride rolling thunder. That is that track piece under El toro and next to the Zumanjaro queue. Also if you head over to where El Diablo used to be kind of where the kickin chicken is in plaza del carnival you will see a wooden archway, that was used for the rolling thunder sign. It was later used for El Diablo.

I grew up at this park. The coaster track in the baboon enclosure was replaced by El Toro which reused the entrance for that coaster. They recently put the old ride vehicles n parts in a garden. The caged one is from an Enterprise type ride called Jester Spin n was behind the Ferris wheel. The coaster car photo OP was a wooden racer that was closed n torn down several years ago. It's Track actually interlocked with El Toro's towards the end n u might spot a small piece of it under El Toro when u ride. That is the right handed car n the left one was red. They actually turned the trains around to run backwards in the final year of operation.

This six flags is amazing. Can you believe that the tigers used to walk where people drove. I had one sit on my roof and pee! Same with the monkeys/ baboons. You could chose to drive and have them climb on your car or you could take a side road away from them. They would sometimes break windshield wipers, etc. Some stupid guy rolled his window down and invited the baboon into his car and rolled the window back up. He thought it would be cute to get a picture of it with his baby. The baboon freaked, thankfully it left the kid alone, but it tore into the man. That stupid guy ruined it for everyone else. Thats why they are behind the fence now.

@jamesjetter2016 Год назад

Originally, when first opened, you drove through the safari in your own vehicle. It is only within the last 20 years or so that they began using their own large vehicles to take you through. Originally, you would get to one section where there where baboons would climb all over your car and, usually, rip stuff off of it: windhsield wipers, roof racks, rubber and metal molding.

I love that Houdini ride! Six Flags New England has the exact same attraction, where it's been in operation since back when the park was still Riverside. It may be the only Six Flags ride I can think of with a significant backstory and pre-show, and the ride itself is a great sensory illusion.

Hey there Carpetbagger, I am a zoologist and while I am not 100% sure, it would be my guess that the ostrich was making a nest accompanied with a dance to attract a mate, or was flaring up to try and scare you away while protecting some eggs that were already there. With the ground dwelling, big, birds it is actually often the males that are more protective of the eggs than the females. That would be my guess!

Hey Jacob, you should have done a meet and greet with us in Jersey. Great Adventure was an awesome place, haven't been in years. In the early 80's they had a haunted mansion which had caught fire and burned down killing several. Also much folklore about hauntings there.
