Early reports are very positive! Looks like another hit on our hands! Based on some vlog videos on Youtube, it looks like the park did a pretty killer job with the surrounding landscaping, too!

I haven't been there in a few years, but doesn't Lake Compounce run their flyers at a glacial pace, anyway? That's how I remembered it, it ran so slow that it was almost impossible to snap even if it WAS tolerated.

Jersey Devil Coaster is officially permitted to operate by NJ (page 65), so hopefully that means news on an opening day pretty soon.

Yeesh. Makes sense considering the weather we had here on Saturday and Sunday (it was 47 degrees at one point by me on Saturday evening). Everyone wanted to take advantage of the one good weather day we had.

That sucks, I hate when plans are messed up because of bad weather like that.

There's still a chance they'll announce / market it, they've done smaller announcements midseason before. Guess it all depends on whenever work completes on it all.

Love the look!

Joker's Jinx is underrated IMO, especially when sitting in the back row. You really whip through some of the final turns and the final corkscrew when sitting in the back.

LOL I remember the uniform warehouse, too. I worked there for the 2001 and 2002 seasons, but at the McDonald's inside the park, so I technically was not a direct employee of the park. As a result, we had our own uniforms and didn't / couldn't use the services of the uniform warehouse. I remember being a bit jealous of it at the time, but that's probably just grass-is-greener stuff seen through the eyes of a teenager.

I didn't have the best of weekends - I had a couple commitments where I didn't worry too much about what I ate. I was focused more on changing a couple other bad habits during the week, which I made a little progress on. Didn't cut certain foods completely out of the diet yet, but I definitely ate them less frequently. Noom has been a help, but I need to get better at doing it every day. I did like the first three days consecutively, then I forgot about it for a couple days. Overall down 3lbs, though.

EDIT: Nevermind, thought it was similar to Caribbean Cove at SFGAdv Hurricane Harbor but I realize it sounds more complex than that.

Wow, it's been so long since this park last operated that I complete forgot they were receiving one of these.

I'm starting the process of getting back on track and making some serious assessments of my daily habits. I was already in a bad place before the pandemic hit, and quarantine / working from home exacerbated all of my worst tendencies. My weight / health paid the price - I'm at a point where I have trouble walking up and down my street without having to sit down and rest my back. I signed up for Noom earlier because I like the approach of focusing on the psychology behind weight loss and changing habits, rather than solely focusing on the food itself. I need some serious changes in my relationship with food, how I perceive it, how I use it, and fix a lot of the underlying mental issues behind it. I'm also trying to find a therapist that specializes in food addictions as well. Here's to another first step!

Maybe the shorter version Six Flags is sending around is the better way to go, then. Maybe the fact that Dino Alive turned into a running joke among coaster nerds about how much space they were taking up from "MOER COASTARRRS!" is clouding my judgment a bit.

This unfortunately is still true. For a long time it was COVID-related, but now it's mainly a need to have to make some serious progress on the waistline before coasters can be a realistic thing again.

I guess, it just is something that doesn't interest me, and I'm surprised there'd actually be some demand for that. Was Dino Alive for Cedar Fair ever that well received?

Ugh, somehow I missed that SFNE was doing that.

Note the "tail". Pretty sure they're gonna announce when we can expect Jersey Devil to open on 5/18.

Speed of Sound @ Walibi Holland. 3773.90 miles. Missed out on Goliath by 0.1 miles. Vekoma Boomerangs ruining everything, again.

The most recent video update they made was really informative, it was cool to see what they're envisioning for theming / langscaping.

I'm all for the Jersey Shore!

Looks like you had a blast!!

Was hoping Harley would've been open when I went back in 2019, but it wasn't meant to be. Oh well. Cyborg was apparently back up and running this last weekend, so I think it may be safe (for now, at least).

Lookin' good!
