Superbatboy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 What are they for? That will connect to the platform for the staircase which leads to the final brakes. Love how these are essentially giant erector sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALT2870 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'm pondering about dropping by May 14th which is a Saturday. The flight I would take out of Boston I would need to be there by 18:30. Obviously would be at the park by opening. Given the flight time (though the locals will know better then Google) I'll get about 6 hours at the park. Will a Flash Pass be absolutely necessary if I want to do the following rides: Thunderbolt Superman Cyclone Batman (Possibly) Bumper Cars SkyScreamer Anything else is icing.

If you're just looking at these rides in 6 hours, then a flash pass is unecessary. If you want more, then maybe get a regular FP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Maybe he has an (albeit unusual) appreciation for bumper cars. You of all people should be accepting of those with strange ride fetishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Fair point, but those bumper cars are horrendous. Are you sure you don't want to ride Buzzsaw or Pandemonium instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Would you turn down a lap on a flume/skyride even if it was considered bad? Serious question, I'm not joshin ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Would you turn down a lap on a flume/skyride even if it was considered bad? Serious question, I'm not joshin ya. Fair point. I'd never turn down a flume (except Great Adventure's with that crap grouping policy), but I'd turn down a Sky Ride if it was one of those crappy fixed grip Hopkins things. But yeah, unless this guy loves bumper cars for some reason I'd really suggest skipping these pieces of sh*t. That's a trick question though because there's no such thing as a bad flume. I just assume that anyone who dislikes them is a dumbass and they're not worth listening to anyway. I don't need that type of reckless negativity in my life.

boldikus Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 They'll group as many people as possible in one log, so unless you're with a group of 5-6 friends that can fill the log you can be sure you'll be balls-to-ass with some random stranger/kid/fat lady/creepy old dude.

coasterbill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The flume itself is great, but they have a ridiculous grouping policy. If you have a group of 2 or 3, they'll actually pair you with another group and pack the log full of people. Even with a divider, grouping people on a Log Flume sucks and it just makes people uncomfortable. If they're that concerned with capacity (for the first time in the history of Great Adventure) maybe they should run a reasonable amount of logs and not have a turntable with like 4 logs on it at any given time.

thrillseeker4552 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Strange to hear about the Great Adventure flume. My sister and I got the whole log to ourselves when we went. Guess we got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo77 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've definitely experienced the get to know you GADV flume. Really ruins the experience and the workers were honestly jerks about it. No real reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but those bumper cars are horrendous. Are you sure you don't want to ride Buzzsaw or Pandemonium instead? Hey now, who has the fetish with log flumes and sky rides. (Not saying it's a bad thing.) Hey, at least I'm not a new member freaking out about it. Anyway, yes, something along coasterbill's addiction to sky rides and log flumes. Actually I wanted to go on more flumes during the trip I took last May (which I really need to get the trip report done) but my father got soaked at Kings Island so he was out. I'm sure there are other rides we will do while there but the ones listed are pretty much must does. But if the bumper cars suck that bad I'll take a pass. As usual, thank you everyone for your help. Booking tickets tonight. (Doing Thursday @ Hershey Park --> Friday @ SFGAdv --> Saturday @ SFNE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've been waiting a while to see vertical construction on that thing. The location is pretty cool... I was over on that side of the park quite a bit for my visit, doing Batman and going in the water park for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
