Photo TR: Great Adventure Family Night

[Hercules]

It was Family Night at Great Adventure. Seasonpass holders were able to get friends and family in for 10 dollars for four hours of fun in the park, without the public.

 

It was a bad night with the camera to say the least. If the place would invest in some lights (or if I learned how to take pictures without the flash) it would have been a lot better. Other than that, it was a decent night. I got a lot done within the 4 hours in the park.

Goodbye Six Flags. It was a decent year - not as good as last. I will shed a tear now that I will not ride El Toro until April. sigh

The cake has grown mold. Not surprising.

Spooky.

On the way out, I noticed that the park replaced the Chiller arrow with an arrow to Autoban. Pretty sad.

Me with the horny, erect penis bull.

Ah, that's better. True joy.

After hitting up Kingda Ka for a two train wait, I went over to El Toro for one last ride for the year. It was closed, but some security guy let me on. He looked like a Gil, or a Phil, or a Bob. So thanks Gil, Phil, Bob security guy! This picture was

The ferris wheel through the trees make it look like Christmas time in the park. Very artsy shot by me. Thank you.

Great Adventure saved a few dollars this year thanks to the real cobwebs on Chiller.

Now we come to the soon to be defunct section of the park. This ride needs to die!

Cute.

Cute.

I love you Nitro.

This is a reinactment of Larry's point of view while being pushed down the crowded line by his new "gansta" friends on July 4th. Not pictured in this reinactment, Joe and I shying away after the REALLY big "gangsta" came along and leaving Larry by himsel

This is where Larry met his "gansta" friends on July 4th.

At least they didn't paint it red and orange.... yet.

I decided to hit up Scream Machi because the last time I rode it, it was the best ride I ever had on it. I am currently trying to pop my collapsed chest back into place.

These guys are scared to death of the takeover.

THE HOSTILE DISNEY TAKEOVER IS SPREADING!!!!

I thought that Rolling Thunder might be a good idea. The wait time was about 25 minutes with one train running on one side. I took this picture and got the hell out of there.

El Toro, at night, -ish.

Something tells me that air conditioning is not that appealing when it is 50 degrees outside. Way to market the possitives Six Flags.

Skull Mountain with blue lights eh?

Clearly, the Nitro line was the place to be. 3 consecutive rides in 10 minutes. Sure beats 45-60 minute waits for El Toro and Ka.

Hey Nitro, you got ta', shake, shake, shake ya' money maker!

The deadman's fountain, or something.

Cheesesteaks are bad, but it pictures well. And I have to say, Scream Machine looks sexy too.

Apparently the Boardwalk area will be full of creepy clowns for Fright Fest. I hate clowns.

Wait a minute... holy crap! That's the first time I've been to the park with this thing operating since June!

There were no signs of life from the self proclaimed King of Coasters.

Bad memories of Viper, a crappy wood and a horrible investment all wrapped up into one picture.

The first thing I did when I got through the gates was head to El Toro. Two trains baby! Wait time was a nice 20 minutes.

interesting ... and nice photos.!

 

maybe someday I will get to Great Adventure, but its like a 10 hour drive from here...

 

I wanted to ride Kingda Ka really bad, but since I finally got on Dragster in August, I guess It sort of killed the urge for Ka, but Dragster saved some time anyways, because CP is only a 3 hour drive.

thanks for the call out Jay - I'm going to try to experience El Toro goodness at least one more time this year

I hope you get it in this weekend, because if you don't, you know what happens when Fright Fest comes along.
