Hey, debating between going Monday aug 25 and Labor Day Monday, assuming weather is the same which would typically be the best day to visit for crowds/wait times? I figure Labor Day Monday everyone starts heading home, so second half of the day might be alright, but would aug 25 be better with return to school for a lot of people? -

I think they're just going through a transition and going to reinvent with quality over quantity, while cutting costs from expensive rides to maintain. It's like when a sports team goes through a rebuild. It takes time. -
No official opening date for AlpenFury has been announced as of yet. Lots of testing has been happening over the past month, so hopefully soon! -

I’m not surprised that the second train would cause issues with the magnetic brakes and block system, especially since the brake run is comically short. It had issues with the old trains coming a little too close together on hot days and I’m sure the weight of the brand new train/slightly less new trains are different than the original. I just don’t understand how you spend this amount of capital on a new train for a ride that has mechanically and systematically struggled to run two trains throughout its entire life without thinking about the likely challenges. If they had shifted things 3 months earlier they could have had 2 trains running by Memorial Day. This should have been commissioned with buffer time to troubleshoot back in April, work out the miscellaneous kinks in May, and be running decently well by June. I also don’t get the 5-6 minute dispatches. In 2009 and 2011 when a second train did become available (2010 was blue train only), we would routinely have the next train ready to dispatch as the train ahead exited the 1st helix. Operations also refused to have maintenance take the second train off unless it was mechanically necessary or the rain was so severe and the trains were slipping. It CAN be done! It’s a shame because the leadership team at the park is so tenured and strong but the labor pool and strategic planning at a corporate level is just so unfortunate. -

Any official word on Alpen Fury's opening date??? I've got to hit this park this season... -
I'm planning a road trip to the Midwest and back and I think I'm starting to buy into the conspiracy theory that the new chain really hates Great Adventure. The following parks are open later than Great Adventure during midsummer on weeknights: Waldameer, Indiana Beach, Great America, Mt Olympus, Valleyfair, Nick U, Cedar Point, and yes even DARIEN LAKE is open an hour later than Great Adventure. Michigan's Adventure and Bay Beach close at the same time: 8pm. The only park on my trip that closes earlier is Little Amerricka. I was floored to see Great America is open till 10 every night. The way it's supposed to be. Why do they hate us? -

Thanks for posting this! I saw it a couple days ago but thought if I was the one to post it, I would be accused of ulterior motives and WW3 might erupt 😉 Seriously though, I wonder if they are trying to have it ready to go for National Carousel Day on July 25th? -
yes, it is a smaller park, and to be fair it's my home park and I know it well, but half a day tops for all the coasters and a couple flats. In that 2 1/2 hours, without hurry, I rode ROS X2, Predator X3, and once each , boomerang, Motocoaster, Sky screamer, Viper, tantrum and mind eraser. No need to rush to get it all done quick. Have fun. -
I've heard the restraints of all straddle coasters have been recalled and have to be replaced. No way they wanted to delay it. They were ready to go until Intamin shut them all down. Sucks for the kids and family that were looking forward to this. -

Unbelievable! What a mess! Having the ride completed and ready to go and now having to delay it until next year because of poor engineering. Apparently something to do with the trains on DK at BGW. This fiasco will leave a scar!😬 -
QA officially delayed to 2026. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15tqYXHgHZ/

From Great America, both SCBB and SFDK are at least 45-60 minute drives, and in opposite directions. So that would likely be a pretty expensive Uber/Lyft... you'd probably be better off just renting the car. Santa Cruz also has a great downtown to explore (don't miss the Book Shop!) and other natural sights. Not so much at SFDK, haha. But you can also usually find free parking at SCBB if you park across the channel near Cliff Drive Vista Point/Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History and walk over the pedestrian railroad bridge. Plus, if you're into horror movies, the streets there are where they filmed this scene from the movie Us.
