Here’s what each item is:

• Left item (green brochure): A promotional pamphlet for the Drive-Thru Safari, billed as “The World’s Largest Outside Of Africa Itself!” It features photos of guests driving their own cars through enclosures with animals like giraffes, monkeys, camels, and more (you can see cars in the images). The safari opened in 1974 as a major standalone attraction alongside the amusement park, where visitors drove through a large naturalistic area with hundreds of free-roaming animals.

• Right item (rainbow gradient booklet): The main “Your information/map/guide booklet” for Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. These were handed out to guests and contained park maps, show schedules, ride info, and general guidance.

• Bottom two items: Actual admission tickets for the 1979 season.

They’re for one ticket (adult or child) at $11.95 (plus 60¢ tax, totaling $12.55).

The numbers 219534 and 219535 are sequential ticket stubs. Back then, the park and safari were often separate or combinable experiences, and prices like this match historical records for 1979 admission.

Quick history context:

Great Adventure opened in July 1974 with the massive drive-thru safari as one of its flagship features (along with the theme park rides). The safari let guests drive their own vehicles through animal habitats—very 1970s style. It remained a drive-thru option for decades before eventually changing to guided truck tours. These items capture the park during its early Six Flags era, when it was still growing rapidly.
