I've been thinking about adding a TPR account for a while now and finally got around to it.
Trip Report
I left my class at college and got to Great Adventure a little after 11 and was pleasantly surprised at the fact no one was there. I have to say it was also interesting at 1st because it was also my first time going to any amusement park alone. I started the day at Nitro and only had to wait one train for the front. I had a great 1st ride and got to stay on 5 more times before the station filled. I slowly made my way back as I rode 2nd row, middle, back, and the row in front of the back. I have to say I like the front on Nitro better than the back and I like the back on most rides better. I'm not to impressed with batman backwards, it felt a little uncomfortable and i rather just face forward. I hit skull mountain and then walked across the park to El Toro. Its funny because the parks was so empty the longest line I saw all day was for the Skyway. I jumped on El Diablo as I got to the area right when it was starting loading with no wait(still think its a waste of space) I got 2 rides on the back of Toro before I waited for the front for the 1st time. Up to then I had only ridden the back. After the front I was aloud to stay. on for 5 more rides in varying locations(my longest el toro marathon. When I got to Kingda Ka I got to jump in front of people to join another single rider who had 2 friends in the 2nd row. No other row compares to the front to me now on Ka. The walk to Zoomanjaro is a hike in itself and I got straight on and off in under 10 mins and went back to Ka. Once again I was happy to see the same single rider waiting for the 2nd row with his friends in the front. I learned that being a single rider has a lot of perks as I passed at least 25 people to go up and ride with him. Went back to toro and got d=some more rides and in the middle went and rode Bizarro. On my 13th ride on El toro I was sitting in the back on the 1st airtime hill when a phone came and smacked right into my arm then fell. I got back to the station with a huge red rectangle on my arm. I rode Toro one more time and left at 4. SO if you live near Great Adventure i suggest heading in and getting some rides. All in all I picked a great day to go.

Also for the new ride I heard mixed thinkings from people tallking about it. Me personally can't wait to ride it, but I would have rather had a nice RMC on the lake after riding wicked cyclone this past month
