In 1976, Great Adventure Park was opened as the first park from the YCN Amusements Company, built on a small plot of land on the shores of Lake McClain.
The park feature a quaint, alpine themed entrance with a carousel, at the end was the entrance to Lil' Cricket, an in-house junior coaster. Later in the year an expansion opened.
The Ferris Wheel and the Scrambler opened late due to construction costs, and were billed as a new expansion to the tiny, although bustling park. Also seen is a coming 1977 sign at the end of the short midway.
Rumors of expansion, leaked by the park themselves, spread like fire immediately after the park opened. Great things are in the future for Great Adventure Park.
Editor's Note: I actually already finished the expansion to the park and posted them in the r/rct subreddit if you want a spoiler. Just didn't want to post it on the same day as this starting post, don't know if there's a rule against that or not and I wanted to be safe. I used to be on ShyGuy's World, I posted Eaglewood which was a never finished RCT3 project that I eventually gave up on. Now I'm going to try and keep up with a story park due to the massive amount of free time I have coming up this summer. Cheers! :)
