History
Big Wheel
Before Adventure Alley, it was known as Fantasy Forest from when Six Flags Great Adventure opened in 1974 and was split up through several years with Main Street in-between. But for the 2012 season, the theme section Fantasy Forest will just stay at the east side of Main Street, and the west side will be transformed to Adventure Alley, with an original theme including three new rides, attractions, restaurants, and shops.[1][3]
