I apologize, I was basing my Season Pass experience off Magic Mountain's site, which offers a "one park pass" for $60 and I thought it would be the same with Great Adventure. Seems odd that Great Adventure doesn't offer the same deal, as I can take my Magic Mountain pass that I bought for $60 and use it at any Six Flags park (including GA). For some reason the Great Adventure site doesn't offer a "one park pass" and it does look like you'll have to buy a $100 2 park pass if you want one. In that case, you'd be better off buying 2 tickets for the two separate days. It's very strange to me how that park is offering their passes, when ALL of the other park sites offer the pass for $60. Maybe someone that visits the park could weigh in the reasoning, or if you can in fact buy a $60 one park pass at the park. What if you don't care about visiting the "second park?" That's kinda dumb.

Not everyone is willing to spend an additional $40 for the Flash Pass. I can understand how they're glad it's not going to be possible for other people to essentially "cut in front of them" to make the normal line wait even longer.

You would probably just want to get a season pass for $60 if you want to go for both days. Online prices are $36, but they charge you a $5 "handling" fee, so overall if you bought 2 tickets it'd run you about $77. You can just purchase the pass at the park and you won't have to deal with any additional fees.

Looks like Green Lantern is going to have a super long queue and exit path much like Riddler.

Did it look like the figure was repainted, or does it look like it may be sitting there for a while? Just wondering if they rehabbed it and are just waiting to add it back to the tower. Maybe for Opening Day?

I'm officially jealous that SFMM isn't getting this ride instead. I don't care if we have 2 stand-up coasters, I want it!

I dunno why and maybe it's just me or the parking lot location, but the ride looks out place. Almost awkward how far the ride is outside the GASM park boundaries. They've got this huge park and this is the only location they could find for the ride?

Deja Vu is not the kind of coaster you can ride over and over, atleast for me it's much too intense for that. It's more of the "Xtreme" kind of ride the park was going for when they installed X, but is a must-ride for anyone that hasn't been on it yet. PeopleMoverMatt hit the nail on the head, ride it in the very back seat on the outside and that first freefall drop is way tall and terrifying. You're facing the ground and they time the release for the drop just right so you get that maximum air between the seat and the restraint. Total weightlessness and a feeling like you jumped off a building. And at the last second, the seat scoops your butt before you hit the ground and then yanks you forward with power. The rest of the ride is awesome too, IMO one of my top 3 at the park. BTW I saw the ERT posting for the WCB AM and didn't see S:EFK on there...

But it is freaking fast and freaking tall and that, to me, is A LOT of fun. I have a feeling there will be a 500+ foot coaster, but it probably won't be in the US. Thing is there is no market for them right now, and I think a lot of it has to do with the economy. With things like Cheetah Hunt that give you a thrilling ride that hugs the ground instead of going up really high, you save some money on structure and still get a crowd pleaser.

Yet another reason to not trust anything a weatherman says.

I think it was $10 regular, but I believe I paid $5 during Haunt once. Probably the best $5 I ever spent, I loved it.

Even down here in Orange County the temperatures have been quite chilly the past week from about 4pm until 9am (when the sun starts to go down until its up again) and when the wind picks up even at noon you can feel the cool crisp air from the North. I actually like what they did with the trains. I kinda wish they both had the S like the blue car, but at least they're being original. Man I wish I coulda gone to the commercial shoot today! Does anybody know the people that got in?

If I recall from reading past WCB events, usually most of the roller coaster riding is done at morning or evening ERT. Get there early and get your rides in, when the park opens go to breakfast. During park operating hours TPR has plenty of activities to do like scavenger hunts, Q&A sessions, backstage tours, lunch, etc. while all the regular guests are dealing with crowds and waiting in lines. Then once the night comes, the crowds thin out, night ERT begins and you get to go on anything you want that you didn't go on in the morning!

I still don't get it. Maybe I'm just old, but internet memes are pretty stupid pretty much all the time. *cough* Revolution *cough*

LOL Six Flags should just give up already with these dumb shows.

Doesn't KK have more theming than Dragster?

Has anyone received a response email from the Park regarding the Superman: Escape from Krypton commercial they're shooting on Thursday? I'm wondering if I missed the chance.

Has anyone received a response email from the park for Thursdays commercial shooting?

Guess I was wrong about the tunnels being widened, sorry! It ain't the first time and it won't be the last! But seriously, I don't even care about the arm guards, THE RIDE IS GOING 104MPH WITH RIDERS!!! I am SO stoked that they went the extra mile (unlike the Australian version) and are running the ride this way. Did normal guests in the park get to ride, or did they limit it to pass holders? What time did they open/close the ride? Thanks ahead of time for any answers/information! Way to go Magic Mountain!

^Guess it depends if you like putting both arms up on the ride like I do.

Looks like they've widened the exit/entrance tunnels to allow clearance. I think it's a good chance this ride won't have those annoying "arm" guards on the outside seats like the one in Australia!

To the best of my knowledge WCB is a seperate ticket event --- kinda like Haunt. Even if you have a pass you have to pay for a ticket, so I don't believe you can apply your WCB admission price to a season pass. **edit** I went through the entire FAQ's on the WCB flyer and the very last question says that the parks have allowed it in the past but have not confirmed for this year. So good luck hope it works out!** I am now deciding if I should take my Xtreme Pass email to the park on those days instead of going to WCB and save myself $50. The ERT on S:EFK was what I was looking forward to most, and if I get to get my fix a whole month earlier I just might do it. BTW, has anyone seen the right side of S:EFK running with the backwards car? I haven't heard anything, and I'm assuming if they're now letting riders on everything must be going smoothly.

The thing that sucks most about this is that none of us will ever be able to have Disneyland Nachos with nice hot nacho cheese again. They're going to be so worried that someones going to get burned and they'll get sued again so they'll intentionally keep the temperature down. Cold nacho cheese for everyone from now on! So by suing they ruin it for everyone. It's like McDonalds and their coffee. Good luck getting a hot cup of joe anymore...

^lol yeah Robb, get off your period!!! Sorry if I spoiled the urban legend for anyone, I just couldn't help myself!

Ride ops and management that were working the ride and park at the time will deny up and down that the stain was a result of cleaning up the girl. They claim it was there before the death, but they could just be saying that. The fact that there's a stain in the location very close to where the girl was struck, it makes for an interesting coincidence, one that we'll probably never know for sure. Here's a photo of the ride in 2003 from rcdb, and I believe it shows the stain everyones talking about. Maybe I'm wrong and it's in a different location of the helix, but I'm pretty sure that's the spot. Which would prove it was there before the girl got killed.
