Great Adventure
Easter Weekend 87 mixed with low attendance and a renewed focus on kids/family attractions to bring guests back.
Great Adventure ended up getting GASM though.
They eventually got GASM in 1989, but the park was originally planning on adding a new multiple looping coasting for 1988, but Six Flags decided to give it to us, because Six Flags Great Adventure wasn't seen as a good investment at the time.

I personally would've chose Southwest, because a)We wouldn't have Raging Bull and Giant Drop, and b)I can't think of any "Big Thrill Rides" that can fit a 1950's theme.

What do Lightning Loops and Rolling Thunder at SFGAm have in common (Besides that they were from SFGAdv)

Rolling Thunder and Lightning Loops both have a B&M hyper coaster on their former spots. (Nitro and Raging Bull)

Correct but not the answer I was looking for. You win anyway.
Answer was they were both sold to Premier Parks who bought Six Flags.
