El Toro is the predominant coaster in this photo. Looming in the distance is Kingda Ka, while the Runaway Mine Train is on the right... If you look very closely at the base of Kinda Ka, you can also see the top of Rolling Thunder, a roller coaster that was erected (1979) shortly after the opening of Great Adventure (1974). It is quite a collection of coasters that can be found throughout Six Flags Great Adventure.

Smiling on Great Adventure
Beneath the sun and clouds is a view of the Big Wheel (aka Giant Wheel) in Six Flags Great Adventure. At the time of the park's opening, this was the largest structure in the park and the largest ferris wheel in the world.
