^ Looking for a full report on your visit ASAP. Good luck to you! I'm jealous of you going, but not that brave / patient...

Don't ride it, it's brutal as others have said. Ride Lightning Racer -- it's a blast...

I hear what you're saying, and I'm wondering what they're going to do. That is really discrimination! I'm already vaccinated and healthier than probably 90% of the people they'll let in. This rule would be tough to enforce. Maybe initially they may ask, but I don't think they'll continue -- I hope.

Hey Bill, just one more question about Great Adventure. Did they load all rows on Nitro & Batman (for instance) or just every other one? At both 6 Flags Texas parks earlier this month, they loaded every row of every train. To achieve "social distancing" on the loading platform they installed plexiglass between the rows. I'm hoping this is a 6 Flags innovation for all their parks and not just for Texas.

Wasn't Great Adventure open this weekend? Where are all the trip reports??? I've heard from a friend living in N.J. that Covid is surging in the state again

My best guess for tickets going on sale is this Thursday April 1. April fools day seems appropriate for Tony to do this... I too agree, they probably will be more limited than before and will go quick. Stay alert

^This is off topic, but I just had to comment. I totally agree. None of this is 6 Flag's fault. They owe the public nothing. It was outside the gates. People are just looking for a free hand out! I hope they don't come back. That make more room for the rest of us.

^ Keep in mind that 6 Flags corporate has a new CEO, as Jim Reid Anderson retired. He was involved with all these announcements before. He made a big deal of it.

6 Flags really seems to be doing it right. I wouldn't sell them short! Initially, there may be some minor issues in 2 weeks. Cedar Fair continues to disappoint with their openings and policies. Cedar Point said they'll close rides early now - before posted closing. That's taking care of their guests... A buddy of mine said his paused membership at MM automatically reactivates tomorrow 3/21. It looks like a go! Unfortunately I can't participate now because of the governor's rules you must be Cali resident. I can't wait for my return to the mountain!

Any news or rumors on Coasterstock? It's normally mid May before Memorial day. I do hope it doesn't get cancelled again this year.

^ Maybe a law suit.

^ I hope you're right. I need a trip to Florida. Ice Breaker at Sea World is very near completion too. It's been testing too.

^ I hear what you're saying, but I want to ride!!! I really miss this park, and I'm excluded since I don't live in California (thank God). I've had both of my vaccine shots already. That should count for something right???

A friend of mine got an email from SFOT yesterday, and it said masks and reservations are still required at all parks and corporate too.

This better not be a bad joke. I'm really getting excited! Today has been a great coaster announcement day for me. Cedar Point posted the day for Coastermania - June 4. Details to follow and now this... There's even a picture of Goliath!

^ Thanks for the heads up on this. Finally a coaster event scheduled. Let's hope it's able to go... Now Kings Island get with the program for Coasterstock normally in May before Coastermania.

^ K.I. hasn't even listed their hours yet. Only preview weekend. I'm fairly sure (just guessing) Coasterstock is off or delayed.

^ I read you guys are getting hammered. Stay safe and I hope your power stays on.

Or "waxing the dolphin?"

^ You're joking right??? Where could it go? With the water shortage and everything else...

I lived in Florida for 25 years, and that was my home park so I went there a lot. I understand the slow pace of the south, but it just appears to me they just don't care..

^ I totally agree! The rides are great, but the staff really sucks... I haven't been there in a few years, but every visit has been the same - terrible.

Thanks got it.

I cannot select Manta at ssd 6 Flags San Diego as ridden. I get an error -- 404 track not found.

^^^ Just curious. How did the flash pass wristband work? This is the first I've heard of it. Was it scanned at the entrance of the rides? Obviously, the wait time isn't displayed right?
