Here's the thing: someone who is 5'2 and 250lbs is going to have a very different experience with any riders seats/restraints than someone who is say 6'2 250lbs. Body types can fluctuate considerably so I don't know how anyone can say whether or not someone who is 250lbs will have a hard/easy time fitting into rides without knowing what their height/body type is. I've seen big tall dudes with giant beer guts fit into El Toro and short small women with a tiny waist but thick legs get the walk of shame. Also I'm not sure about big boy seats at this park (I should know, tbh since I am one) but I disagree with Bert about Verbolten - as a big boy I've never found those trains or lapbars particularly tight/unaccommodating.

LOL where do you guys get this stuff?

Knoebels is great but they don't have a Skyrush. Don't worry about credits and just go to the Skyrush.

Cool but uhhhh how are they going to enforce this? Beyond going around to everyone and asking to see their vax card I don’t see how... Non-vaccinated people are just going to lie about it which doesn’t do anyone any good.

Well, either someone f*cked up on the 2021 park map, or RIP Avalanche.

Mods can we please edit the title? The English major in me is having a heart attack. "Coaster You've Ridden That is Furthest From Your Home" Please and thanks.

Or they could just close it and leave it rot and not put anything there, which is the cheapest and likeliest option.

This all sounds really awesome (and like they still have a good bit of work to do). Loving that they're adding hundreds of trees, etc around the ride. https://www.facebook.com/sixflagsgreatadventure/videos/806171693646555/

LOL they haven't finished the queue, etc. Calm down. Member preview is gonna be a from like 4-6pm on random Wednesday afternoon in early June (because they're probably aiming for Memorial Day but they'll miss that) announced the day before and you're gonna have to buy a $30 t-shirt in order to ride.

They have responded to questions about it on their Twitter and FB pages alluding to it opening this season.

Folks are reporting that the path below Skyrush is back open.

Holy sh*t I'm not disagreeing with him. Are you nuts or dumb? None of what he is pointing out has anything to do with the question I asked nor does it answer it. The gif is my frustration about the fact that he wants to be Ultimo-I-Know-Everything-Enthusiast-Nerd when no one asked. Forget I even asked, the level of crazy/stupid posters on this forum is at an all time high (which is saying something).

Does that matter in the context of my question? They own it, whether they initially purchased it or not.

Serious question (for those in the industry?): when this type of thing happens where parks and manufacturers get mad at each other and refuse to speak/do business/returneachotherstexts - will SF still deal with them for parts, etc? SF owns a number of Gerstlauer coasters, 7 according to a quick glance @ wiki. Just curious.

Are there any Gerstlauer trains that seat more than 20 riders?

why do You keep typing your posts this way is there something wrong with your keyboard

Oh this thread should be fun. Can we just rename it to "Crackpot Predictions" already and get it over with?

Great report as always, Chuck.

It's a shame they're going to let it sit there all season, we all know its never going to operate there again. I'm sure money is super tight for SFNE, but the right park might want to snatch it up for cheap and refurb it a bit. (I'm not saying it should be saved because it was a good ride, but because the park could probably use a little bit of extra money right now).

Goliath has been removed from the park map. (Via the SF New England Connoisseurs fb group)

Imagine firing up TPR to post about how a park lost your money because they haven't opened their new ride yet.

^ It's honestly hard to believe that not one person involved in deciding the Covid protocols for the park was like "Ok this sh*t is f*cking stupid".
