IMO Cyborg looks a lot better then it actually is when riding it. Even though it’s newer and something older will probably go instead if Cyborg does get the axe I wouldn’t miss it.

I’d love to see SFNE add this to one of the towers on Scream!

So good to see the forums back and looking great to boot. Thanks for bringing this update to us all!

Guessing you are right but I still haven’t seen a full closed for year announcement yet like Darien Lake & Great Escape put out so maybe an outside HITP chance but not looking good.

SFNE does have the two star coasters closed but I still find it to be a fun event. Both Riddler and Batman seem to fly through their courses in the cold. Batman gets different wheels that are even louder than normal. Harley Quinn is open and I love that ride to. It’s a well done event at the park. Goliath is even a better lawn ornament this time of year as the back drop to the parks main tree lighting ceremony!

^Jumped to membership when it came out but I agree what you get with a SF’s season pass is so worth the money.

When we did the Safari it was a little over an hour to drive through. Looks like the 2021 pass info is now out. https://sixflags.com/greatadventure/store/tickets

Even though we don’t know what might still happen this season looks like the 2021 pass info is coming out. https://sixflags.com/newengland/store/tickets

This is awesome news. With SFNE being closed I’ll have to get my first Great Adventure HITP in this year!

Very cool to see BGW come up with a way to open at least some of the park this season. Thanks for sharing!

^Thanks guys! Hershey did a good job overall. Solid investment in a really good park already.

TPR was invited to check out the all new Hersheypark Chocolatetown region and it's featured new B&M hyper Candymonium which is being billed as the Tallest, Fastest, Looongest and Sweetest coaster in the park. First off the new entrance / exit at Hershey looks awesome and you can't miss Candymonium as it sits right there. Work is still continuing on the entire area including the Kisses Fountain, which will be an awesome photo op, but everything is looking great already. Once you go through the gates you are staring right at the soon to be Kisses Fountain and Candymonium. A little look to the left and the relocated Carrousel is now featured here too. The rest of the area has a great feel including Hershey's first Starbucks! As this area continues to get closer to completion it's only going to get better. Candymonium's area and station are done really well and feature a lot of Hershey theming. That goes right down to each one of the three trains being themed to a different Hershey brand including Hershey Kisses, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Twizzlers color scheme's. Ok so how was Candymonium? Let's just say it was a sweet 2 minutes and 26 seconds of candy-themed coaster fun. The first drop, especially in the back row had us out of our seats the entire way and the coaster keeps a great pace including lots of B&M floater air throughout. It's super smooth and also crazy quite which is great as it doesn't overpower the entrance when it comes around. After getting to ride it several times the only critique I'd give is to lay off the trims. It was fun regardless but the best was when the trims didn't engage. Outside of that Hershey has done an outstanding job with this entire new area and awesome new coaster. A big thanks to the Hershey team for inviting TPR to come checkout their brand new Chocolatetown featuring Candymonium! Here's TPR's Candymonium POV. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Some Pics From The Day. Welcome to Hersheypark and the Chocolatetown Region. View of the Kisses Fountain and Candymonium after coming through the gate. To the left from there is the relocated Carrousel. Hershey's first Starbucks! Multiple cool areas to walk under the coaster. Heading towards the station. Before we go in lets checkout these sweet...... Candymonium Stats! Lots of Hershey Brand Theming. View away from the station. Hello Skyrush! Here's just some extra pics of the coaster. Inside the new Hersheypark Flagship Store. Heading out from Chocolatetown. The brands said goodbye. Thanks for a great time Hershey!

This is great news! Looking forward to visiting Great Adventure soon!

^Thanks! Really cool to see the baboons getting the public view again too!

Ok so I’m going against skipping the be first day. I genuinely can’t wait to hit a park so I bought a LC season pass, great deal good through 2021. Reserved to go July 1st and can’t wait!

For anyone in the area I highly recommend the temporary drive-thru Safari. The park is handling it great and it made for a fun and enjoyable visit!

I waited until this evening and had no issues. I could have booked this weekend but choose next Sunday the 7th instead to let the park get used to operations and also to avoid the have to be there first crowd. Never did the drive-thru back in the day so we are really looking forward to it!

^29th for Pass Holders and Members.

This is so cool. Wish I had a crap car where I didn’t have to worry about damage. So awesome to see Great Adventure doing this!

Good sign that we are getting closer to SF’s parks opening. Not surprised visitors will be limited. https://www.sixflags.com/newengland/plan-your-visit/park-operating-schedule

Thank you so much for these results. Only thing I’ll say that locally I’m sorry for LC and Wildcat. They have invested a ton to keep an older wooden coaster and they ended up on the worst list. I know they are trying to get it better and Jerry could have killed the ride but wanted to save it. Good, Bad or indifferent I personally feel that’s a harsh review. It’s rough but in the area I’ve ridden a lot worse personally.

NAB Show in Las Vegas that I mentioned earlier in this thread is official off now. https://nabshow.com/2020/attend/onsite-services/coronavirus-update-and-resources/

National Association of Broadcasters. . it's a big show. I'd assume that's what Sluggo is referring to nice to see they have a status update at the top of the event page to keep folks in the loop. https://nabshow.com/2020/ Sorry. You got it right! It’s a big show for sure. I’m currently Vice-Chair of the Exhibitor Advisory Committee for this show. I can say the show staff is doing everything they can to stay on top of the situation and are communicating regularly with attendees and exhibitors.

I’ve got the NAB Show coming up in April which is still a go so far. A few exhibitors have dropped out but the majority are still set to participate. I think a lot will depend on how things progress with this between now and then. Show brings in roughly 100,000 people between attendees and exhibitors.

^I agree. This ride looks so cool. It’s much more than I was expecting. Thanks for sharing this review!
