Too late... It also goes by "The Mean Green Ketchup Machine" as well.

There is no need to worry about El Toro being down for much longer. I was informed today by one of the higher-ups in rides that the ride should be operational this weekend, if not tomorrow. It just needed some parts to get replaced after a severe thunderstorm blew through the area. Everybody happy!

Thanks! And it is the time period when Arrow Suspendeds were coming into the picture, but will it be what Mr. Illum thinks is best for the park?

Thanks everyone, I know I've been slacking on updates, but my job has been occupying most of my time. Couple that with some creative block in my mind when working in RCT3 and there's going to be a long delay! So without further ado, here is the new update! Illum Hills: Fall Year 5 Park Owner: David Illum and Family Park Manager: Lee Yardston Park Partner: Warner Parks Park Hours: Sun:12pm-11pm Mon:Closed Tues:Closed Wed:Closed Thurs:Closed Fri:10am-11pm Sat:10am-12am Ticket Prices: Adult General Admission: $20.00 Child General Admission:$10.00 Spectator:$10.00 Under 3: Free Season Pass: $45.00 Attractions: Eagle's Nest Pioneer Super Swinger Wonder Wheel Galaxy Grand Carousel Double Take Dino Run Scramble Inferno Rotor Plunge Games Square Horror at the Hills Rampage Rodeo Bulls High Noon at Garis Gulch Mine Mountain Madness NEW FOR FALL FEST YEAR 5 Haunted Hayride News: Mine Mountain Madness still drew long crowds as the season was winding down. A spike in attendance also occurred during Fall Fest as the popularity of the event has grown and grown through the years. A new attraction has been added to Fall Fest to help alleviate some of the long lines throughout the park. Overall, the hayride was praised by park guests for its elaborate props and scenes that instilled terror into them. Lines grew to be around 3-4 hours at some points during the night! On the business end of things, the Warner executives have been walking around the park with Ron Toomer of Arrow Development, most likely planning for a future attraction considering the success of Mine Mountain Madness. The profits for Illum Hills are really starting to outpace the expenditures, so new additions could easily be more than 1 ride in the coming years. There has also been rumors that people representing Six Flags have been in the park, but none have met with David Illum or Lee Yardston, so maybe they are scoping out the park as a possible purchase. On the maintenance end of things, Double Take has had some problems lately with downtime. Ever since it got repainted, the launch motors have been having problems getting trains off the second platform and getting the train off at the correct speed, leading to constant valleying. Lee Yardston is starting to get impatient with the ride, but Mr. Illum still treasures the ride as it is a park original. Here is the photo update from Fall Fest! New ticket booths have been built in front of the entrance to help alleviate the long lines at the ticket building. Pioneer has become even rougher, leading to drop in a ridership. The entrance to the hayride You know it's scary when you start out passing below a demonic clown and the first display is nothing but clowns! A killer robot The graveyard and plane crash Another killer robot A huge fire spouting demon The T-rex animatronic And finally the warzone! Then you arrive safely back where you started. Stay tuned for further updates!

Great Adventure is a great option, along with Hershey. Working at Great Adventure, I'll give you a few tips about the park if you decide on going there! Try and get there right around park opening, the real , large crowds don't really come into the park until around noon. Also, I suggest buying your tickets online since they are cheaper and save you time from standing in line to buy them in the morning. You can also buy your flashpass online as well and being your voucher with you! I suggest the Gold Flashpass since it cuts 75% of the wait off, I know it's more expensive, but not having to wait as long will make your day even better! If you have any problems printing anything, make sure you get the confirmation number so we can help you out at Guest Relations! If you arrive at the park early, say around 9, you can go through the Safari first, you can get them online for $10 a ticket when you but theme park tickets. It takes about 1/2 an hour-hour to get through, but it's a great experience. It closes at 4pm, so I highly suggest doing it before visiting the theme park! When the park opens, the flashpass center should be your first stop if you're interested in it or already reserved it. Everyone should wear shoes, flip-flops are allowed to be left on the side of coasters, but it can be a hassle to have to fish them out from the piles of other trains' flip flops. If you aren't using a flashpass, be sure to get a ticket at the entrance of all major coasters. We're handing out numbered tickets to help combat line jumping. If you don't have your ticket, then you won't be able to ride! Don't bring anything you won't need with you into the park if you don't want to have to use lockers. If you have a non-rider, then it shouldn't be that much of a problem. If not, try and bring the bare minimum with you and wear cargo shorts with zippered pockets to hold that bare minimum. Lockers are only $1, but they're worth it because people still ignore the signs saying no loose articles and lose their stuff! If you lose anything, it won't be retrieved until the end of the night when the ride is shut down and can be safely retrieved. Lastly, try to get to Kingda Ka first as it can go down at really any time for a variety of reasons throughout the day. It's best just to get it out of the way first. It's also a good starting place because El Toro is nearby! You can go from Kingda Ka, past the tigers, over to El Toro and enjoy an awesome ride! Ok, I think I've dispensed enough advice for you to enjoy your day! Have a great trip and I hope you have a great day at Great Adventure! And yes, I did watch that video a few pages back, and I will work to see what I can do to help him.

On crowded days, Flashpass will most likely sell out, they only have so many units available. I'm not sure if they have more than last year, but we did just get the new ones this year that let you reserve a ride from anywhere in the park. Making a reservation online is your best bet so you know that you have one waiting for you when you get there.

Hey there! I work at Great Adventure at the Guest Relations office and I'd be glad to help you and anyone else that may have a question about the park! I see some people have already helped you with the buses, so I don't know if you want any more information on that. We do have bus schedules at the office, so if you want to know when the buses leave, just check with us. If you don't buy a ticket at the bus terminal, it's only 49.99 plus tax to get in, we're offering the Big Six pass now which is six visits for the price of a one day visit, I know that's all we can sell at the GR office now. Your best bet if you're coming with someone is a Coke can, which is Buy one Get one Free on Weekdays and $15 off on Weekends. My personal advice is to buy your tickets online. Not only are they cheaper, but you can also get flashpass online as well. If you have any problems printing out your tickets, make sure you bring your receipt or confirmation number, and we can print it out at the GR office for you. You can also buy parking online to, but it will still be $15 dollars. Make sure you have that printed out so you can get through the parking booths. When you get to the entry gates, head up main street past the fountain and go to the yellow and blue building, that's the flashpass building and it will have a long line if you don't get there first thing. I suggest a gold flashpass if you want to get every major ride in the park done in one day. Flashpass prices can be found here at this link: http://www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/tickets/flashpass.aspx. I'll give you my personal opinions on which rides you should go on so you can make a nice loop around the park. Go Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro, Batman, Medusa, The Dark Knight, and Superman. Flashpass will work really well so you don't waste too much time waiting, if you get a regular one and the line is an hour long, you should try and catch the Dolphin or Tiger shows, they are pretty cool and are nice places to sit and relax. For eating options, my personal favorite is Best of the West. It has a great atmosphere and you can eat in the air conditioning, or out next to the log flume, or next to the lake. Granny's (over by the Big Wheel) has an all you can eat buffet for 14.99, but it's only for an hour. Johnny Rockets has the main location on Main Street with seating by the Gazebo with a cool percussion show. Nathan's Hot Dogs is in the Boardwalk along with Ted's Cheesesteak's. La Cocina is known for having great food and it is near El Toro, so you can go on Toro and then grab some nice quesadillas or nachos afterwards. I hope you stay long enough to catch the Glow in the Park Parade at 9:10pm, it really is a great parade. The best place to view it is by the fountain, so don't miss it! There are lockers are every major ride and they cost $1, so I suggest bringing at least $10 dollars in singles so you can stow your stuff away. If you want, there are all day lockers located outside in the outer mall and inside the park over by Johnny Rockets and the Big Wheel. If you buy something in a store that you don't want to carry around, just fill out a package pick up form and at the end of the night, you can claim it over by the GR office. There isn't really much else I can think of to suggest, but I hope you have a great day at the park and enjoy yourself! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and if you encounter any problems at the park, be sure to stop by the GR office so we can take care of it. Have a great time and I hope I've helped you in some way!

It's a package of Windows Vista software, that's why it's so dangerous.

Wait, wouldn't you blame G.I. Joe for this? He was always trying to take down Cobra

They hopped the park perimeter fence. The second fence they hopped was in a low zone at Batman. It's one of the fences surrounding the area where the track gets low to the ground. I went and looked on RCDB at the placement of Batman at SFOG, it would seem that he probably hopped over the fence in this area and got hit at that low point to the left, I'm not sure though, because Batman has a few more low points in its layout.

Thanks! Hey everyone, sorry about the delay in updates, I've been very busy working and doing other things, but I'm also putting a lot of thought and design into the next update! Here is a small preview of something new for Fall Fest Year 5! Yes, it is a hayride complete with flames and other exciting props! The full update will come as soon as I can complete it all!

All of the major coasters have test seats outside of the entrance to help determine if you're too big to close the restraint properly. My advice is to go to El Toro and sit in the test seat as it actually has a red and green light to tell you if you're not going to fit. If you get that green light, then you will be good at most, if not all, rides in the park as Toro's restraint is one of the more restrictive positions to verify the train.

Read the nametag, it says Christ, not Buddy! Not the best picture of me either, I would rather have been told when you were taking it

Great Job so far, I love how you made the drop for the log flume! You're able to use landscape effectively, I wish I was good enough to use it like you! Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much! Illum Hills: Summer Year 5 Park Owner: David Illum and Family Park Manager: Lee Yardston Park Partner: Warner Parks Park Hours: Sun:12pm-11pm Mon:10am-10pm Tues:10am-10pm Wed:10am-10pm Thurs:10am-10pm Fri:10am-11pm Sat:10am-12am Ticket Prices: Adult General Admission: $20.00 Child General Admission:$10.00 Spectator:$10.00 Under 3: Free Season Pass: $45.00 Attractions: Eagle's Nest Pioneer Super Swinger Wonder Wheel Galaxy Grand Carousel Double Take Dino Run Scramble Inferno Rotor Plunge Games Square Horror at the Hills New Attractions for Year 5: Rampage Rodeo Bulls High Noon at Garis Gulch Mine Mountain Madness Park News: Increased attendance during the Spring led to complaints about wait times for the new attraction Mine Mountain Madness. Mr. Illum responded by putting more staff onto the new coaster and increasing dispatch times. Air conditioning was also installed into the rocky queue part for those hot summer days. An unusually hot heatwave had lines at Lumberjack Falls reaching up to 3 hours at some points. Mr. Illum said more boats were purchased from Arrow, the maker of the flume, but lines still were outrageously long, hopefully a new water ride is in the works. Mine Mountain Madness has been commended for its high level of theme in the waiting area, but many people think the layout of it is too simple and not as thrilling as Inferno or Double Take. Despite this fact, the queue has been full almost everyday with everyone trying to get on the ride. High Noon at Garis Gulch has also proved very popular and now run 3 times a day to meet the demand. Horror at the Hills got approval to open for the Summer after Mr. Illum pleaded with the Westworth council to amend the law keeping it shuddered until the fall. He showed pictures of waits at the park's main attractions and said that opening the haunted house would help to alleviate some of these waits. On the corporate radar, Park Manager Roger Bryant has stepped down as he is moving to California, having taken a position at Six Flags Magic Mountain as Park Director. Mr. Illum commented "Roger has done a great job and will be greatly missed, I can only wish him the best as he takes this new job at one of the largest parks around!" With the position of Park Manager now open, a Warner employee stepped in to take over the duties of a Park Manager. Lee Yardston had been working with Roger Bryant since the Summer of Year 3. "I think I made a great decision, Lee used to be Vice President of Warner Communications, so he is very well suited to manage the park!" Here is the photo update from the Summer! Here's a better look at Galaxy's new location Inferno's morning test runs as seen from the Operator's control panel Grand Carousel has a brand new sign Pioneer had some retracking done in the offseason, you can see the new wood and old wood Mine Mountain Madness with another train of Miners ready to go! Park Maps have started appearing all over the park A backhoe has started ripping up Galaxy's old queue location The park has really grown a lot as you can see from this overview! Fall Year 5 is coming soon, with a new addition coming to Fall Fest!

Thanks HP, there is an alternate download site at Vodhin's Community Pages, here's the link, it's such a great set! http://98.130.102.38/e107/download.php?view.649 Enjoy!

Nope, it will still be Illum Hills, it will just say "Illum Hills, A Warner Park" The CS List is one page back Corporate takeover?

Haha, yup, it's a little overkill I know. But the wait is over! Illum Hills: Spring, Year 5 Park Owner: David Illum and Family Park Manager: Roger Bryant Park Opening Date: April 4th, Year 5 Park Hours (Spring): Sun:10am-9pm Mon: Closed Tues:Closed Wed:Closed Thurs:Closed Fri:4pm-10pm Sat:10am-10pm Ticket Prices: Adult General Admission: $20.00 Child General Admission:$10.00 Spectator:$10.00 Under 3: Free Season Pass: $45.00 Attractions: Eagle's Nest Pioneer Super Swinger Wonder Wheel Galaxy Grand Carousel Double Take Dino Run Scramble Inferno Rotor Plunge Games Square Horror at the Hills New Attractions for Year 5: Rampage Rodeo Bulls High Noon at Garis Gulch Mine Mountain Madness Park News: With a great amount of funding, the vision of Mine Mountain Madness was able to make a leap from imagination to reality. Mr. Illum was very excited as he looked over the finished product, stating "It's just so great and it feels like I'm actually at a real mine!" The new addition to Illum Hills fit right in as crowds lined up to grab their rides on the Mine Train, past abandoned buildings and through treacherous tunnels. Mine Mountain Madness is sure to be the hit of the summer. Along with MMM, High Noon at Garis Gulch, a Western gunfight show, and Rampage Rodeo Bulls also were welcomed into the park. They helped to create a whole western themed area with their old west feel to them. Now they just need an old time photo and they'll be set! In other park news, Warner Communications is setting up a new division called Warner Parks. Since Warner has helped so much with the park finances and the new addition, Mr. Illum has agreed to have "A Warner Park" attached to all marketing for Illum Hills starting next season. Illum Hills will be the flagship park as the division grows and grows! Here, as always, is the photo update from the Spring!: Double Take has received a new Blue and White paint job Rampage Rodeo Bulls and Mine Mountain Madness The new queue area The new show is housed on the right New views of Inferno have been opened up with the expansion! What happened to Galaxy? They moved it! A nighttime shot of MMM PARK DOWNLOAD What you've all been waiting for is finally here, the download!

I'll try and make a POV of it, for some reason my game goes really really slow when I try to record one, so I'll see when I have some free time! If I can't get it done, I'll ask someone who downloads the park to help me out! Thanks for the comment! Here's another preview before the update and download!

Thanks! The set is pretty easy to use, but it can get tricky since they don't always interlock as nicely as I'd like them to, but it looks so real! Thanks, I'm really getting better at this! Mr. Illum has just notified the press that the ride has begun test runs!

Here it is!

Thanks everyone, I'm really taking my time in making this a great looking addition to the park! You're all guessing correctly, it is a family coaster! Thanks for the comments!

I'll be working at Six Flags Great Adventure this summer as a Guest Relations host and I'm going to be a back-up for VIP tours of the park. If you have any questions about the park or need help with a problem, I'll be glad to help you in every which way! I'm there to help make your day at Great Adventure the best day possible! I wear a white dress shirt and tie, so if you see me in the park, be sure to say hi!

Mr. Illum loves to play with the public, today he sent a picture of something new in the park, but he won't say what it is, gives a good hint though. Hmm
