What is it about Kingda Ka?
jbarner14 replied to DJSonic's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't El Toro always have that clank. Every time I've ridden it, I've heard the clank and just assumed that that was the sound it made as the train connected to the lift. -

My favorites go in this order: Montu (BGA) Talon (Dorney) Batman: TR (SFGAdv) Alpengeist (BGE) Great Bear (Hershey) Raptor (Cedar Point) Its not that I don't like Raptor, its just I find the others more fun. All in all they are all pretty close to one another in terms of the quality of the rides. -

Six Flags Great Adventure 4/11
jbarner14 replied to coastakid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was there and I don't believe they handed out free passes on the way out. Maybe they did and I just missed it. I mean I wasn't really looking for one as I have a season pass. -

^^^ Nothing you can do about closing early. It obviously wasn't your fault. I'm just glad that you guys ran it that last time for the kids that came from Chicago. For all the people complaining about driving 3-1/2 hours (I'm one of them), they had it worse. Anyways, it was nice meeting you. -

^ Oh, I'm definitely not happy about it. I hadn't been to this park in years and was really looking for to getting the new credits. (I ended up getting 2 of the 3). I totally agree that its not in the best interest of a business to close early and kick its customers out. I was just stating what I thought Six Flags was thinking when they made their decision. -
Six Flags Great Adventure 4/11
jbarner14 replied to coastakid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ And the park was open for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. The park had to have known the rain would stop later. However, they saw the very small turnout and thought, "We should just use the weather as an excuse and shut the park down for today so we don't lose too much money". It sucks from the park guests standpoint, but it is understandable from a business standpoint. -
TPR PENS! (Yes, pens!)
jbarner14 replied to Crazy4Coasters!'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, thanks Robb for all the extras with the DVD and t-shirt. I opened the package expecting only an extra pen, but found a bunch of park maps in addition to the pen. They're really sweet. Thanks. -
Six Flags Great Adventure 4/11
jbarner14 replied to coastakid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, they ran it a total of three times. I was on every ride. We had to recruit more people to ride it before they would run it though. (Apparently it has to have 18 people on the ride at one time for "safety" reasons) It wasn't the most enjoyable ride, however, as the rain pelted your face. -
Yep, they closed at 12. I was there riding El Toro when I was told that the park was closing and had to get off. The park was empty today (We had to recruit people to ride El Toro because we didn't have enough people for"safety" reasons before we could ride it) so I guess they were just making sure that they weren't going to lose money. It sucked having to leave that early.
