Thanks, was just coming to this thread to ask about an ETA for Jersey Devil. Was wildly hoping for a soft open on Opening Weekend, sounds like that's a big nope. Which is totally fine, but was trying to talk my kid out of an Opening Weekend visit and this gives me more ammo, hah.

Kingdom Coaster at Dutch Wonderland, last year. Having little kids definitely scales down your ride plans, but I'm going to Six Flags Great Adventure tomorrow with no kids, so...

Could someone confirm how the $12 locker day pass works? There's zero information on the SFGAdv website. (There's zero information about a lot of things there.) Do I just select Day Pass as an option at the kiosk, or do I have to buy something from an actual person? Getting psyched for tomorrow, but worried about Kingda Ka having a technical breakdown. Hopefully between arriving at opening and having the Flash pass we should be able to get on at some point. Sounds like our major list is: 1) Top picks: Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro, Bizarro, Superman Ride of Steel, Zumanjaro 2) Batman: the Ride: good but rough, saved for later 3) To avoid: Joker, Green Lantern [flipping cars seems a bit much for me, and GL's reputation for--discomfort--is well known] Sound about right?

That's really weird--I wound up buying a Gold Flash pass and both Gold and Platinum were $5 cheaper when I bought them this past weekend. Maybe they just raised the prices. Still planning to go on Wednesday, will report how it all goes.

Making my first trip to the park next Wednesday. Looked back a couple pages in this thread, didn't see a recent discussion of Flash pass. What are your thoughts on it? I've got a friend coming in from out of town and I don't get the opportunity to hit theme parks much anymore, so I don't mind shelling out a bit extra if it's worthwhile. Is it too early in the season, or is it worth getting a Gold pass? (Not sure I can talk myself into a Platinum one, especially if it's a little rainy that day which ought to temper the lines a bit.)
