TR: Six Flags Great Adventure!!!

[ElToroExtreme]

The day started out at 10am when I left my house. I hopped on Rt. 571 and headed to GAdv. I stopped at a wawa to get breakfast (For you westerners wawa is a quickie mart place with cheaper gas!) I got in line to park at 10:30am. I got out of the car and headed into the park at 10:55

(yes I spent 25 minutes in line to get a freaking parking spot!) I got into the park and I was meeting up with a friend and his family, they weren't there yet so I waited for them and rode the ferris wheel. I got some really nice pictures which I will post later! Well I got off the ferris wheel, and I waited by the main street fountian. I guess today was religious group day at the park, I saw a ton of youth groups, and a NUN!!! Yes I saw a NUN at SF!!!(No I didn't take a picture cause she was looking at me the whole time she walked past, the camera was out tho!!!) So my friend makes it to the park at 11:45, So we head off to El Toro which was running when we got there... However that didn't last long after a half hour waiting in line El Toro broke down... They took about 10 minutes till they launched the empty train, it came back and they CLOSED the ride FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!!! Major Boo!!! I mean they made no attempt to fix it!!! Typical Intamin I love , and hate them at the same time!!! So we headed of to ride Medusa guess what???... Broken! So we figured we'd ride Runaway Train... Broken too! Well at this point we were really upset so we walked around to ride the neutered chiller and that was broken too! we we saw Nitro open with people on it so we hopped on the front row! It was awesome a nice warm breeze and butts out of the seats! The ride was nothing short of amazing... Well it was about 1:30 when we got off Nitro, so we went on Skull Mountian before lunch... For an Intamin Skull Mountian sucks! They should retheme it to maybe 70's Disco Mountian, that might make it fun! The line was only 5 minutes so I couldn"t complain. We wanted to go to Jonny Rockets for lunch but the line was out of hand. So we went to Ted's Cheese steaks, they were good but at 7 bucks a pop it was meh at best. After lunch we decided to ride Kingda Ka. We saw it running all day with no problems. However I did notice the green train sitting on the storage track was missing seats... I wonder what happened??? Well the ride was fun I took my friends cousin on her first ride! We got left Kingda Ka and went to Chiller, however its lacking load time some being 5 minutes, we didn't ride. My friends rode the Musik Express and we headed home. Bad day at the park possibly the worst I've had but whatever I live 20 to 30 minutes away!

 

Positive things i noticed today...

1. Black Beards Lost Treasure Train Take 2 circuits!

2. Staff insanely friendly.

3. Rolling Thunder Racing All 4 Trains!

4. Eruption is back in action!

5. Nitro's 3rd. Train is running!

 

Yea thats about it thanks for reading!

I think Gak is having problems with the sensors in it's seats, at least that's what everyone thinks over at Source.

 

Thank God we live so close or we'd never go back after a trip like that

 

It's good to live 15 minutes away on the other side of Ocean County.
