boldikus Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 I f*cking love that lead car. Honestly its made this addition much more exciting seeing the real finished product. Can't wait.
Superbatboy Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Wow that's great detail on the lead car.
prozach626 Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 It’s literally going to look like it is eating the track. ... if they ever start building the track. You'll be lucky if that devil is eating Thanksgiving dinner. Good thing Great Adventure has HITP so Six Flags can still advertise its new roller coaster for 2020.
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 It’s literally going to look like it is eating the track. ... if they ever start building the track. Right???? Orion is complete.... And Six Flags is still just pushing some dirt around.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Lin-Manuel Miranda should write a rap battle about it. "We place footers in the ground, we create! You just want to move some dirt around."
JJLehto Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I'll be going to NJ in Sept. Its not just the best time for me but I figured even SF will have the ride open by then ....... They will, right? lol

AmyUD06 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 In all seriousness, as much as I joke about SF's ride opening time tables, yes it should be open by September. However, DoinIt is right....take a look a WCR for how to colossally ruin a ride opening.
scubaski Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Really looking forward to this. Loved Wonder Woman at SFFT and this should be so much more.
JG-77 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I still find it funny that SF’s most punctual roller coaster opening last year was at the universally agreed upon king of efficiency SFA.
boldikus Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Oh calm down ya whiners. Track is on site. [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew]
michaellynn4 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 ^ Yea, I still have faith that this coaster will be open in time to still be enjoyed for plenty of next season.
larrygator Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Final concrete was poured on 2/12. SFFT took ten weeks to complete. If build time is similar at SFGAdv, they have about 6 weeks to build the station, theme, landscape, make it operationable and test to open by Memorial Day weekend.
Superbatboy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Oh calm down ya whiners. Track is on site. [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] That is pretty
boldikus Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Via the parks socials... I might actually be more stoked that we're finally getting a Jersey Devil themed coaster - in the woods no less - than I am about the fact that we're getting a RMC raptor. This sh*t is gonna be so rad.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Those trains look fantastic. Wonder Woman is an absolute blast, y'all are going to love Jersey Devil.
DILinator Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I really feel like on a national scale, this coaster is being overlooked, as they talk about their most anticipated 2020 coasters. I rarely see it cracking people's Top 3, and for me, it's solidly #2 behind Iron Gwazi (and barely ahead of Pantheon!) I am super excited to get on my first Raptor, and one of this size, and at this great park to boot! Obviously, the only question is when, but with family in the area, I am flexible, and can wait out its eventual opening. How about others here? Is anybody else really excited about JD still? Or is this just not as high on people's list for various reasons?
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 ^I agree that Jersey Devil may become a sleeper hit. So far, most of the 2020 attention is on Orion, Pantheon, and Iron Gwazi. However, those other coasters are probably grabbing the most attention because they are complete or nearly-complete. I think people will gain more excitement for Jersey Devil when the coaster actually begins to take shape.
tndank Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Those cars look awesome. I hope this model keeps the intensity as it grows in size. Can't wait to ride this one. Probably my most anticipated for 2020, with Iron Gwazi right behind it. *Please note, I haven't ridden WW or RB but I'm dying to.
boldikus Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Do you non-locals realize how insane this is going to be at night?
larrygator Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Do you non-locals realize how insane this is going to be at night? Are you assuming that lighting will be minimal? It will pull crowds away from El Toro at night.
coneyislandchris Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I've heard nothing but good things about the Raptors so far. I narrowly missed out on Wonder Woman when I was down in Texas so I haven't yet tried any of them out. I will be hitting up CGA in mid-April and hopefully be able to get a chance to try out Railblazer beforehand, but regardless, I am very excited about this! Can't wait to get rides on it. Here's hoping it's up and running by June, fingers crossed.

boldikus Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Do you non-locals realize how insane this is going to be at night? Are you assuming that lighting will be minimal? Who would assume otherwise w/ this park? Hopefully other than station and lift lights, they'll leave the area dark at night. Nitro night rides are much better than Toro, imo. PDC is pretty well lit.
michaellynn4 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I missed opening weekend for Wonder Woman by a week, but rode Railblazer multiple times last year, and it was a blast. This'll definitely be great.
