CycloneMan Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 A few of us were invited to the Off-Season Tour at Six Flags Great Adventure, so here's the update. My mom and I got there an hour early, so we went to the Prospertown Lake for some shots. I got all artsy My mom enjoying the lake. Josh and I freazing and ready to start. Everyone waiting to start Mom and I showing off our cool hard hats. Josh is ready to head on in. Harry wouldn't let me get a shot of him, so I snuck one Angel Aristone will be our guide for the day. Josh and I with our new coaster. Pieces of The Dark Knight Coaster. Dan taking a picture, of me taking a picture (He does this alot) Ira was happy to be there Me being a huge nerd, and having to touch the track. here you can see where they are building the queue. I tried to get a photo with Dan, but he wouldn't look at the camera. More track More of the building. The Batmobile has a flat! Batman This will be one of two new Johnny Rocket's Express this year. New concrete is being put down for the Glow In The Dark Parade Did Cedair Fail just buy GA (Sorry...bad joke, bite me!) The Turbo Bungees will be replacing the Flying Waves Josh wanted a picture with the...sign? They were landscaping Houdini... Hmmm Continueing the tour... Angel and I One of man "Josh and Dainan photos" Bench: The Ride fell over White Tigers At least this attraction was ready for us Now going to Mexico Josh was very excited to get back to his bull To any concerns, La Cocina is staying, just getting updated with a new queue for the 2008 season El Juanny Rockets...I mean the new Johnny Rockets for Plaza Del Carnivale Dan and his ride El Toro has had some minor changes Josh just can't wait for El Toro to open New sings Lockers are now being put in for the major coasters. Walking to the bridge I bet many of you can't wait to be climbing this lift soon We all had to be rebels to get to the other side. For all you people who had your hopes for seeing Medusa get repainted. You all just got pwnd Then we all came to this Me with what's left of the Super Teepee (and yes I am holding a teddy bear in my hand ) I asked to take these home. They said no. This is what's left of the canopy for the Super Teepee This moose is what's left of the gift shop This will be the last time any of us get to be inside the Teepee I must say, I love this shot I got of Josh This calls for a Group Shot Saw Mill Log Flume had a Log Jam ...oh Ira doing his thang New Map Only a few more weeks On our way back to Gate 5, we came across the new sprinklers for 2008 Josh being...Josh Me and my favorite attraction, which is still up in the air. What doesn't belong? Ah...there we go Uh oh, into the Old Country we go This wont open in 2008 Musik Express has seen better days This looks so weird with no track here Ah, we found more Dark Knight track A look into the station Me and my ride. The Observitory Still haning around? Good, I'm off to take more pictures! Does this mean that who ever bought Chiller got it for $10? Chiller footers for you footer fetish peeps! (Once again, I wasn't allowed to take it home) Hey Six Flags New England, what's this? I look terrible, but hey, it's me with the Dark Knight so who cares! More track Josh wants to know if this counts as a credit? Dan and Matt Getting ready to leave. Everybody is out I didn't realize until leaving, but Geico is still looking over us. The tour ended with Q&A with Mark Kane Then we finish off at Cracker Barrel. Here's me and Matt Mom found something she wanted Great success I shall end this update with the best sculpture ever. -Dainan "I hope you enjoyed reading" Rafferty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Nice job on the report dude. It was nice seeing you at Coney Island this past weekend.

John Peck Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Why are they removing the Teepee? Also.. what was the Flying Wave? I've been there once, but don't know some of the catalog ride names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Progress for both Dark Knights at SFGAV and SFNE seem to be both about equal. Great pictures Dainan, can't wait to see some photos when the park opens. Are you going to be there opening day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Angel is hot. Is she taken? Angel "I'm too cool for a hard hat" Aristone definately is hot. Then again, so is Dainan's mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycloneMan Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 ^Shut up ! Anyway... Thanks guys (Except RIP Phsyclone ). It took me two hours to actually do this update . My friend Josh runs a site, and he did an update here. Big Mike, it was nice meeting you as well. You missed my friend Kenny and I getting stuck at the top of Top Spin for 10 minutes (friggin weird). The Teepee was destroyed in a storm, and it wasn't opened last year being the wood was rotting, so it's done for. The Flying Waves is just a Wave Swing. -Dainan "And I don't know if I'll be at opening day" Rafferty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycloneMan Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm gay, so I'll take El Toro over hot chicks anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 ^Yes. El Toro > sex with a one-armed leprechaun. I'm happy to see these changes to El Toro were mainly implementing the no carry on items policy. If El Toro is ever trimmed, there is no God.

FeelTheFORCE Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Great pics! Can't wait to actually go there in June! I wonder if they are going to continue, this season, to slow down the lift at he top of the lift hill on El Toro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayjay719 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Awesome pictures! I'm still sad about the swings though . But I can't wait to ride my favorite woodie El Toro!

YoshiFan Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Flying Wave is being removed too?! Are any flats staying this year? (at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they all were gone). Nice pictures, I can't believe the teepee is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayjay719 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah and that's pathetic. I hope Six Flags puts in flat rides soon. I still love Great Adventure though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 You can take a bus from the Port Authority i think. I did this a few years back and they had a ticket deal with the bus ride. Im not 100% positive they still do this though, look into that when your here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
