Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGAdv) Discussion Thread

[Ed FarmerThe only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

Six Flags Great Adventure has sent us some awesome photos of their landmark topping off of SkyScreamer!

I've never been on one, but I don't blame Cedar Fair for going with Mondial. This looks like a dinky carnival ride. I would rather have Mondial's take on this concept even if it didn't take riders and it was purely for the light package.

[jzooleI know more about donkeys than women!]

Anybody know about how packed it will be on Friday? Tuesday?

Lemme check the future quick...


Oh geez, looks pretty crowded to me! There will also be a high if 68 degrees and the lines will average about one hour for each ride. Better make sure to buy a flash pass, but hurry because at 1:13 Batman gets stuck on its lift for about 20 minutes.

This might be my favorite post I have ever read on TPR! I can't stop laughing!

Chiller was meant to open in 1997, but there were far too many technical problems to keep it running.

Same with Mr. Freeze. In fact I think the Mr. Freeze rides never opened at all in 1997 and just sat there until the next season.

^Well then... I don't know why the Chiller had such a bad record. Wizards? Indian burial ground? Probably Indian Wizards.

I like the way it looks. Its, for lack of a better phrase, "All colorful and poo-poo". I'm not a huge fan of the top piece, why a globe? I don't think it makes very much sense to put a globe there, but whatever. I think that a Windseeker would just be too big for the park, especially in the area that its in. Maybe a Windseeker could work in place of the parachute tower, but the "Adventure Alley" location seems a bit out of place for an enormous Windseeker. I don't know why, maybe it's the fact that there are more trees and I feel like you wouldn't get a good view or something like that. Not sure how to put my thought into words there. I do feel like this is a better attraction though. It's still big, and it looks fun.

It will be very crowded both days unless it rains on Tuesday (the forecast says 30% chance of rain). Friday will be crowded with almost all schools on Spring Break that day since you have schools that were off this week and schools that have Spring Break next week but start their break on Friday. Then on Monday - Wednesday next week there is a large Jewish group that goes to the park every year for a few days (previously they used to go on Easter when they had a buyout and only they and passholders could get in but the park is now open to everyone on Easter).

I really hope you're wrong. I plan on going on monday and tuesday if not i'll just buy a flash pass

^ Will you be spending the whole day? I've gone on a super busy weekday day in July and had no problem getting every credit in the park, then had a few hours to get in several re-rides on everything I wanted. The operations at that park were very good and efficient, and they were running multiple trains on everything. So even without a flashpass, you'd probably be ok.

You weren't there on a super busy day then. On a super busy day you are waiting at least 90 minutes for the major coasters: El Toro, Kingda Ka, S:UF, Green Lantern, Nitro, Batman: The Ride and Bizarro. It might have been a busy day but not a super busy day.

Yes I will be spending the whole day. I checked the ride hopper app (however accurate that is) but it said Bizarro, kingda ka, Nitro, and Green Lantern with at least an hour wait
