Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGAdv) Discussion Thread

[JG-77]

Thinking of possibly heading to the park on Wed or Thurs. Any idea how bad crowds typically are during this time of year for HITP?

[boldikus]

If you're going to ride coasters, just go. You'll be fine. Just hit Wonder Woman first if you really wanna ride that, beyond that you'll be fine.

I don’t think you’ll have a problem. Weather is iffy the rest of the week. Even on the busiest HITP days the lines are usually short the first few hours of the day and the last hour or so before closing.

[JG-77]

Thanks for the advice!

The Holiday in the Park drive through has been extended again through the 17th.

In addition to Six Flags most satanic spiral staircase, we now have a MCBR.

With most of the supports and half the track in place, I'd imagine we'll see the rest of this go up pretty quick from here.

Licking my chops at all those head choppers

Looking great. This is a perfect addition for the park. I am interested to see how this compares with Railblazer/WW. The longer trains and extra speed could mean a crazier ride, but perhaps this will be a case of Goliath at SFGAm where the larger and more drawn-out elements leads to a slightly less insane ride. Regardless, it will be awesome!

I'm glad I got to make my trips to Great Adventure in the fustercluck COVID season.

Hopefully in 2021, Houdini's Great Escape will be able to reopen.

Nice to see the spiral staircase getting some company!

[boldikus]

The headchoppers. I mean...

[Jason Maier]

If there are no further COVID 19 restrictions, I would assume the park's 2021 Opening Weekend will be its usual last weekend of March or first weekend of April?

[coasterbill]

I would assume so, yes.

[boldikus]

Moving right along.

 

 

[VegasBaby]

Wow, this looks just incredible! I really hope the rumors are true and we're getting one of these at SFMM.

[michaellynn4]

Glad to see things moving at a decent pace! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Haha its like they're trying get 'er done as fast as possible just in case the state decides to shut em down again. 

[Sluggo77]

I really can't wait to ride this.  It's looking great and glad to see them making such quick progress.

I think 2021 will be the year I finally get on El Toro. I can't let it escape me any longer haha.

[Zack44]

At the rate construction is going, if the park opens in late March, hopefully the new ride will be ready on opening day for the first time in forever.

[coasterbill]

Bro, Jersey legalized pot not crack. Put it down.

[boldikus]

Speaking of construction, the lift hill is starting to go up.

(This will open Memorial Day wknd, at the earliest. )
