BuddyChrist Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 People Me...again...pathetic Time in Park 3-7 Rides RTC-1 Nitro-2 Batman-3 Medusa-1 GASM-3 Toro-2 Ka-1 I had a crappy morning at work, so I decided to make a trip out to the park again. I had checked the forums before I left and saw that Chiller had the other train on the track, so I knew to go there first. I approached Chiller and found a bright red 3 car train sitting behind the station. Thank God, signs of progress! So I went on Robin and got on front row because there was a single rider in the queue. I know it won't be my last 5 car ride because I'm going again on Saturday. From there I decided to walk on over to Toro. It was running two trains and it was really eating the lines. I saw RT running only the left side and it didn't appear open as empty cars just cycled by. I got up to the station and went to my usual back row seat. Awesome ride today but it still feels rough through the turnaround. I went over to Ka after my Toro ride and saw a full queue. These kids were stopped by a security guard because they had forgotten to grab tickets on the way, so I invited them to go up with me using my pass. Of course the 2 worst trains were running and I got on CP Beat It (I just don't trust Gak). It was really shaky and rough, but the launch is still a great rush. With time to Kill I headed over to GASM and found an empty station. I got on the White train, which was somewhat smooth. The trims were off after the first loop so the other ones were murder. I was able to re-ride 3 times and even though I could've done more, my head couldn't take it any more and it was throbbing. I decided to rest a minute and get some candy. I went up to the machine and said "2 bucks for 1 thing of Twix?!" After some grumbling i put the bills in and I guess I was the 1000th customer because out came 3 packages of Twix, awesome! So I went over to Nitro and as soon as I got up to the gate the attendant said "Quickly! Open seat here!" and i gave him my hat and off we went. Nitro was doing great today and it was really intense, I started blacking out in the helix. Perfect ride. I decided to take a stroll through the sorry land of LTSP. With it's better half gone, the remaining one is just dying a slow death. A Thomas Town revamp would be perfect for this area IMO. Yes I know, another kid's section, but it would be a retheme of an existing section. From there I decided to take a stroll back over to Medusa. I decided to go through the queue and found it empty. I chose an empty second row and it was great! Seems like there were no really bad rides today (excluding GASM). From Medusa I went and took another ride on Toro in the back row. Insane airtime and a really fast twister section, it really threw me around like a bull would today. With park closing approaching, I took a stroll back over to Movietown and took a ride on Batman. It still had people waiting for it in the queue, so I headed over to Nitro again. The attendant saw me again and saw an open seat in the front so he stuck me there. The front is fun, but I still prefer the back for all of that air! People were running around for more rides but I decided not to run as I was really tired. So I saw empty Batman trains going up the lift, So I walked over to Batman and got on. I asked for a re-ride and I was denied! They said to run around and let the train go empty, what a waste! I'm sorry but this "Park Policy" is ridiculous. It was the end of the night, what was it going to matter? The station is empty and the ride is still open, just let us go again, jeez. But it didn't ruin my day though, I can't wait for Saturday though, I always love the park at night! What is this, Batman? 1 billboard, 2 billboard Stuffed prize orgy Batman is a flaming red! Looks good actually! Tried to get another shot of it Awaiting its fourth car and a ready track Robin always steals from Batman! Overcast skies Weee!!! Can't wait to get two trains in this shot Batman and Nitro Loopy-ness Great AD-venture Here it comes to save the day! B&M curves There's probably a troll that lives under this bridge, it doesn't look very inviting Nitro Donde esta la Publico General? A Thomas Town, sure it could be!

Goliath513 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Looking great as always. My friend went there last year and now he's been on coasters that I haven't I must go there sometime. Oh and nice photo TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice PTR. Great Adventure reminds me a lot of Magic Mountain -- they both have similar skylines with a large number of big coasters. The only difference is Magic Mountain is not as cosmetically up-to-par with Great Adventure. By a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrider06 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice trip report, your pictures were awesome. Man now I cant wait to go on the 23rd!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 ^Batman: The Chiller May be open by then! ^^Kraxle, they have put a lot of work into making the park look better. Many people still view it as a dirty park, but now management has really focused on the quality of the park experience, not just the quantity of thrills. It's a vast improvement compared to say 2 or 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks for the TR. It looks like I'm going to visit GAdv on the 18th for the first time. Although it looks like B:TC may not be running by then, a shame 'cause that side looks much more interesting than the Robin side. Anybody think a gold q-bot is overkill or a necessity for a Monday?

BuddyChrist Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I think a regualr q-bot would be suffice for a monday visit, the lines aren't as long on the weekdays. If you don't want to wait forever for Ka because it runs only 2 trains on weekdays, then I'd suggest going for gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Great Photo TR as always! Its great that BTC trains is on site. Im and really excited to get on that thing again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 An op says it should be open in about 2 weeks. They are still missing 6 LIMs on the launch track and they have only 2 on site. I can't wait to get on it again! Hopefully Robin doesn't break and cannibalize Batman again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgadviperboi Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I do not care what anyone says but Great Adventure has not been a "dirty" park by any means in well over a decade. Cleanliness was focused on when I worked there 96-98 and in 95 one of the best themed rides in the chain, Viper, was introduced. The clientele may and will always be an issue with any "urbanized" park but come on now with the dirty claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
