Metsfan0618 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 ^Just curious where you got those figures. That was my mistake- $250,000 for the annual costs with Lake Compounce's model- they have the 32 seat version. For Skyhawk at Cedar Point the price tag number floating around was $6 million for the ride itself for the 40 seat version- Lake Compounce's version ended up being $3 million with installation costs.
neil009 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 As far as a coaster going in Rolling Thunder's old spot it's not a very big spot with the Zumanjaro queue and El Toro's finale. It's possible of course, but it's not as open of an area as I expected. I think Chiller's old spot is a much better location, especially since MovieTown needs something to bring the crowds in. I absolutely agree, Chiller's old spot would be the best location. However, this is Six Flags we're talking about, and I'm sure it would be cheaper to fill the land they just vacated then to open up a whole new area of the park. That area has been unused for so long and I'm fairly certain cost has to be the reason why. I'm sure they'll open it back up eventually but only after they've used up every possible ounce of space elsewhere.
ScreaminNewEngland Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 So Zumanjaro is gonna be open soon right? Lol
DoinItForTheFame Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 So Zumanjaro is gonna be open soon right? Lol This is Six Flags we are talking about.
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I wonder if they started conducting human trials yet on Zumanjaro?
coasterbill Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 According to Great Adventure History (which is a very reliable source) this was announced this morning. July 2 - Press Preview July 3 - Season Pass Holder Preview July 4 - Grand Opening to the Public This backs up with Ryan said too... it sounds legitimate to me.

Thanks for sharing.
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 July 4th weekend! The lines are going to be MASSIVE!!!!! I bet flash pass will be backed up for kingda ka and zumanjaro! Thats if they have the flash pass for Zumanjaro already!
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Prety much like a new movie coming out! I never go the opening day! Let hope for no lighting strikes or bolts coming lose! SFGA will be broke after investing so much money in this thing and having it sit for months!
coasterbill Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 After SORA's opening day last year I'm never going to Great Adventure for the opening of a new ride ever again.
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Be nice if they kept the Stuntmans free fall horn and used it for Zumanjaro!!!
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 speaking of free fall everytime i go to SFGA and i walk though movie town it looks more like a ghost town. The area between the entrance of batman to where spinmister used to be at....complete deadzone! If they get anything new they need to put it over there for sure! Dark Knight coaster just isnt cutting it! But thats just my opinon!
El Toro_Ryan Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 speaking of free fall everytime i go to SFGA and i walk though movie town it looks more like a ghost town.

Dark Knight coaster just isnt cutting it! But thats just my opinon! Park officials are aware that this side of the park has become a deadzone. John Fitzgerald even hates the abandoned Chiller Station that only gets used for haunts. Hopefully their future plans will revitalize the once most popular area in the park. A new coaster or a major flat ride along with a new show in the arena and a general renovation of the area would be perfect.
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 ^ Thanks for the update! I still miss the chiller RIP!
yankeeman311 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 If the dates are true for Zumanjaro I'll probably try to go for the Season Pass Preview Day. I've never gone to a preview day for a new ride. Do these get close to the lines of a GP opening day or is it much better?
DevilsFlight Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 ^Not at all. When I went to the one for GL I went on twice in the front row in 15 minutes
YoshiFan Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 July 4th weekend! The lines are going to be MASSIVE!!!!! I bet flash pass will be backed up for kingda ka and zumanjaro! Thats if they have the flash pass for Zumanjaro already! Zumanjaro will be available on Gold and Platinum Flash Pass.
thegreatkaldani Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 wow no love for GL Hey its got nice theming
njcoasterguy34 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I was in pain after I rode Green Lantern. It's the only coaster I've ridden at GAdv that I will never ride again.
coasterbill Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah Green Lantern may be a special case since it's a pretty terrible coaster and it had a huge capacity when it opened with 3 trains. Drop of Doom's capacity will be much less and it's going to be a much more re-rideable ride.
neil009 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I will never understand the hate for GL. Last I checked it's about 200x more intense and exciting than either Bizarro or Superman.
FaithPlus1 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 After SORA's opening day last year I'm never going to Great Adventure for the opening of a new ride ever again. What the hell is SORA?
djboss302 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 After SORA's opening day last year I'm never going to Great Adventure for the opening of a new ride ever again. What the hell is SORA? Safari Off Road Adventure
