DorneyKid14 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 So, Ive saw that Great Adventure was suppose to be the "Disney Word" of the north. Does anyone know why this didnt happen? Im just wondering.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Because Six Flags Six Flags... that is the answer.
DorneyKid14 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Because Six Flags Six Flags... that is the answer. The proposal was when the park became an idea. So im taking it as when six flags bought it, they threw those plans out? damn six flags
Password121 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 ^Upon construction and further development of the concept for Great Adventure, Warner LeRoy altered the plans due to time constraints and major budget issues into one park with separate "lands." One of those lands is still known today as the Fantasy Forest.

One of those lands is still known today as the Fantasy Forest. True. It is ignorant for people to blame Six Flags, when the park's founder altered the plans before the park opened and years before Great Adventure became affiliated with Six Flags.

Thank you. It would of been cool to have a park like that up here in the north.
coasterbill Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I've never ridden Tango. True story. Oh me neither... but you can just sense the greatness just from looking at it. It just emanates from the ride.
boldikus Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Soooooo now that our off season is really real and beginning to sink in this thread is sinking down the first page lol so how about everyone rates their current favorite rides at the park or something? LOL I thought it would redundant & stupid to start a whole thread about it, so let's have it, geeks. Let's stick to existing rides? I know Toro will come out tops for most but curious what everyones current rankings are now that 2015 has come to a close. Any Looping Diablo fanatics among us? I'll get the ball rolling.... 1. El Toro 2. Nitro 3. Zumanjaro 4. Batman: The Ride 5. Bizarro 6. Skull Mountain 7. Superman: Ultimate Flight 8. Runaway Mine Train 9. Sawmill Log Flume 10. Skyscreamer Maybe if I finally do Ka in the front row this year it'll crack my top ten, but as of right now it sits lower than The Dark Knight haha.
larrygator Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) El Toro Nitro Batman: The Ride Zumanjaro Sky Screamer Houdini Safari Off Road Adventure Bizarro Jolly Roger HiTP Waffle Cart I know that Total Mayhem will jump into my number 2 or 3 spot next year. And then the next year I hope to add Justice League to my Top 5 Edited January 12, 2016 by larrygator

coasterbill Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) God that's tough because I don't know where to put SORA. It's really hard to compare that to other rides. This is the best I could come up with, no sarcasm. I resisted the urge to put Tango #1. 1) Skull Mountain 2) Pointsetta Peak 3) The Waffle Cart 4) Skyway 5) El Toro 6) Safari Off Road Adventure 7) Batman 8) Nitro 9) Kingda Ka (Front Seat) 10) Saw Mill Log Flume 11) Zumanjaro 12) Bizarro #1 (Get twisted) 13) Superman 14) Sky Screamer 15) Choo Choo 16) Dark Knight 17) El Diablo 18) Parking Lot Off Road Adventure 19) Root Canal 20) Getting hit by a truck 21) Green Lantern My list is actually serious except the Top 3. In reality I'd put Skull Mountain and Skyway between Superman and Sky Screamer, this is the real list... 1) El Toro 2) Safari Off Road Adventure 3) Batman 4) Nitro 5) Kingda Ka (Front Seat) 6) Saw Mill Log Flume 7) Zumanjaro 8) Bizarro #1 (Get twisted) 9) Superman 10) Skyway 11) Skull Mountain 12) Sky Screamer 13) Choo Choo 14) Dark Knight 15) El Diablo 16) Parking Lot Off Road Adventure 17) Root Canal 18) Getting hit by a truck 19) Green Lantern Edited January 12, 2016 by coasterbill
strz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Assuming everything was equal. meaning lines, wait times, and not taking into consideration if the rides are located near each other or not, here would be my choice in ride preferences....I tiered my list from "Every Visit" to "If I Have the Time" to "If I Must" Every Visit If I Could: 1. Nitro 2. El Toro 3. Zumanjaro 4. Kingda Ka 5. Batman- The Ride 6. Dare Devil Dive (yeah, yeah, yeah- I get it, it's an upcharge!) 7. Bizarro If I Have the Time: 8. SkyScreamer 9. Skull Mountain 10. Saw Mill Log Flume 11. Congo Rapids 12. The Dark Knight Coaster 13. Runaway Mine Train 14. Houdini's Great Escape 15. Parachute Training Center: Edwards AFB (had to make sure I got the full name so that there'd be no confusion on anyone's part!) 16. Skyway If I Must: 17. Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train 18. Buccaneer 19. Superman- Ultimate Flight 20. Green Lantern 21. All Other Rides (if it is not list here, that means I didn't go on it in 2015!) Edited January 12, 2016 by strz
strz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 How dare this thread not be on the top 5 post listing each and everyday!!!!
A.J. Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Stop neglecting Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train!
boldikus Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 ^ OK. 11. Buckaneer 12. Blackbeards 13. Skyway 14. The Dark Knight 15. Houdini 16. Kingda Ka 17. Congo Rapids 18. Road Runner Railway I've done all of the existing coasters, but only some of the flats. I have never ridden Tango, Twister, Jolly Roger, Deja Vu, the Tea Cups or El Diablo. Also none of the upcharges. And I haven't done the safari since I was a kid and monkeys tore up my dads stationwagon. #greatadvconfessions
Genx24 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 1. El Toro 2. Batman: The Ride 3. Nitro 4. Zumanjaro 5. Safari Offroad Adventure 6. Bizarro 7. Kingda Ka 8. Skull Mountain 9. Superman: Ultimate Flight 10. Runaway Mine Train 11. Green Lantern 12. Blackbeard 13. Buccaneer 14. Skyway 15. El Diablo 16. The Dark Knight
Password121 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Alrighty let's see... 1) El Toro 2) Nitro 3) Kingda Ka (front row only) 4) Batman 5) Bizarro 6) Zumanjaro 7) Skull Mountain 8) Kingda Ka (anywhere else) 9) Saw Mill Log Flume 10) Superman I think if I rode Kingda Ka more often I would probably dislike it more outside of the front row. The front row itself is amazing and worth waiting for (I'd wait an hour for it easily). Boldikus if you liked Dragster just get yourself up front on Ka--it's ridiculous how much better it is.
Jcoaster Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Drumroll Please.... 1. El Toro 2. Batman the Ride 3. Zumanjaro 4. Nitro 5. Kingda Ka 7. Safari 8. Bizzaro 9. Runaway train 10. Skull Mountain 11. Skyway 12. Superman Ultimate Snore 13. Green Lantern 14. The Dark Knight 15. Congo Rapids
strz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Can't wait for boldikus to be bored at work one day this week, an tally the votes!
strz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 So will my "free gold pass upgrade" work here? Including the parking and meal plan???? https://content.sixflags.com/haiyan/

Skyscreamer Maybe if I finally do Ka in the front row this year it'll crack my top ten, but as of right now it sits lower than The Dark Knight haha. Kingda Ka in the front row is a totally different animal...it's like the difference of riding Skull Mountain in the back compared to 3rd row. Besides El Toro in 2nd to last row, KK in the front, especially at night, is the best experience in the whole park. Anyway, my top 10: 1) El Toro 2) Nitro 3) Kingda Ka. 4) Batman 5) Bizarro 6) Superman 7) Zumanjaro 8) Skull Mountain 9) Houdini 10) Green Lantern (over-hated, front row provides a very solid ride)
coneyislandchris Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 1. El Toro (of course) 2. Bizarro 3. Nitro 4. KDK Front Row 5. Tea Cups 6. Blackbeard 7. Superman 8. Zumanjaro 9. Runaway Mine Train 10. Swashbuckler ** Edit: Ugghhhh how did I forget BTR. I'll put it right above Tea Cups, bonus points for BTR Backwards (RIP). I guess Swashbuckler gets bumped down to 11, but it's still one of those rides I ride every time I'm at the park. I'm a sucker for the old classic flats.
