Great Adventure isn't too "Great" anymore.
Har har. I've only been there twice, and it was right before the Halloween events. The park looked like they just put some stuff up, left, and didn't bother to pick up garbage.
Yeah. Cursing a lot. College students, HS Seniors, the "rich and cocky" crowd mainly.

Why, even Morey's Piers (even Land of Make Believe*!) was better than GA! :lmao:
*-Small park in Hope, NJ with a credit. Has a waterpark and stuff. Not too big. Family-oriented. Better than SFGADV in everything BUT rides.

El Toro totally owns the Voyage!

Tell me more about these days? Are there dragons and unicorns running around also?

Well the only day I can think of is first night of Fright Fest, but that has operation problems, line jumpers, so it doesnt count.

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

^ Have you actually been on both El Toro and Voyage, or are you just saying El Toro is better because you can actually ride it? I don't want to seem like an a$$hole or anything, I'm just wondering. :)

Since when does Rolling Thunder get retracked every year?

And, I don't think that Great Adventure is a dump anymore. It is no where near it's potential, but if you haven't been to the park within the past 2 years, you really don't have a right to talk. I thought the place was a dirt hole back in 2001, and now have been a pass holder for 2 years and I enjoy the place on the slow days.
