Went on Friday night but only stayed til around 10 cause my nephew was tired. Got on Batman, Nitro and Zumanjaro.

 

Basically went to eat and see the shows and stuff. Like that Dead Mans Party is in the stunt arena now, thats smart.

 

Park was crowded, gone opening fright fest for last few years and we've always done well, never really crowded. I'm not sure but was that because they did pass holders only on the first night in the past?

 

Or maybe we just lucked up last few years cause it was way more crowded on Fri night.

 

There were way more of the people walking around, some good makeup as well.

 

My nephew couldnt take his eyes of this girl.

 

Overall a good night, will be going back on Oct 15th and Halloween weekend cause my cousin is coming in with his kids.

 

Going to a wedding next weekend in Virginia and will be taking my first trip to Kings Dominion so I'm looking forward to that.

Do we have anyone who would be interested in covering the Fright Fest media event on the 25th? If so, email robbalvey@themeparkreview.com and tell me a little bit about who you are!

I'm going to the park saturday with a bunch of friends. I've never been to the park this time of year. Any ideas on what I should expect/prepare for as far as crowds?

[coasterbill]

Expect massive crowds.

It was super crazy this Saturday, but lines were moving.

 

Bizarro had a 10 minute wait, Nitro was 15 minutes (from the 60 minute sign), Batman had a station wait.

 

Runway Mine Train was the longest wait, about 45 minutes because the crew was slow, a train every 5 minutes.

 

Not sure about any other rides because we catered to children, but I'm heading back this Friday, and I used to get insanely lucky on Friday's but that maybe have changed.

[YoshiFan]

The park isn't open this Friday unless you have a ticket for the buyout.

[boldikus]

Granted you get in the front gate, yes you should have plenty of luck with non-existent crowds on Friday. The park should be absolutely empty.

Damn Yoshi beat me.

[B&MIntaminGCI]

Oh damn, welp there goes that plan

I have Yom Kippur (Wednesday, October 12) off coming up and saw that Great Adventure is open. Anyone have any experience with a visit in the middle of the week in October? I know well enough to avoid Columbus Day weekend at the park but thought this could be a a nice day with relatively light crowds.

It likely won't be walk ons but not very crowded either. I went on Rosh Hashannah a few years ago on a Thursday and most rides were 10 to 20 minutes. Kingda Ka was the exception at 45 minutes.

[B&MIntaminGCI]

So now that you guys have saved my life from Friday, I switched shifts on work and am now going all day Saturday. No contacts because they can only be worn for 6 hours max, but if you see me (avatar) say hey.

^ I'm saying #2. Also my general thoughts on VR rides, they're a #2.

I need some planning help. I'm looking at going to Great Adventure next August, probably on a weekday. I really want to do the safari. It's still iffy on how much time I'll be able to take off work, but I may only have one day to spend at Great Adventure. If I get the Platinum pass, is it possible to do all the coasters, all the water rides, and notable flats like the parachutes in one day, while also doing the safari? I'd love to spend two days at Hershey, Knoebels, and here, but let's face it, if I have to remove one day from one of these parks, this one's going to get the cut first.
