Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGAdv) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Edit - Forgot I cannot delete my post, so let's add more fluffy stuff.

 

Glad to hear another coaster announced at SFGAdv...so many people every time I go there that (perhaps) this ride will finally free up some of the others so I don't have to wait 90-2hrs+ (I am looking at you, you low-capacity, slow Superman flyer!)

 

Anyways, Total Mayhem could've been better...from what I saw on some of the 4D options. What! No 2nd lift to add intensity?

CEDAR POINT UNLEASHES VALRAVN,

THE WORLD’S TALLEST, FASTEST & LONGEST DIVE COASTER

SANDUSKY, Ohio (Sept. 9, 2015) – Cedar Point will change the Lake Erie skyline once again with over 3,400 feet of thrill ride innovation when it introduces Valravn (val-rey-vuhn), the world’s tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster, in 2016. Valravn is the regal king of birds, swooping in to conquer all other dive coasters on the planet with its powerful and intense maneuvers, massive structure and immense ride vehicles. Valravn will become the 18th coaster to take reign at The Roller Coaster Capital of the World!® and will claim its rightful place among other record-breaking roller coasters at Cedar Point./quote]

 

 

Just sayin'- this was the "level" of ride I was hoping for....oh well!

Actually, when you think about it, it's not that far fetched. If the Sandusky Register was correct, Valravn is costing about $15 million, which is more or less the same price as X-Flight. I know that it was quite a while ago, but it's not really impossible. I know a few people have wanted a dive machine here for a long time.

 

Now that I've seen how Valravn will revitalize its surrounding area, I'm even more excited to see what the lakefront will really look like next year. That's another plus.

Just wanted to a share a throwback story from about 2/3 years ago.

 

On one insanely crowded day the line for Nitro was over an hour long. There were a lot of line cutters that day for some reason, more than 5 people passed us in a span of 10 minutes. So my friends and I were standing in the queue right in front of Nitro's turn from the station to the lift when these line cutters passes us. For those not familiar with Nitro's queue, right around Nitro's first turn (that covered section right under Nitro's first turn), there is this high fence/wall with a horizontal cutout at the top at eye level. As the line cutters walked toward that section of the queue, I noticed two eyes staring at the line cutters through that horizontal cutout in the fence. When the line cutters made that right turn, a security was standing there and escorted them out of the queue.

 

So basically, the security guard was standing in the perfect spot to catch line cutters! You couldn't tell it was a guard from the small opening in the fence. Plus it was kind of hilarious seeing the eyes through the fence. It was a pretty great moment seeing the line cutters get caught by such a genius security guard. Next time anyone is at the park, check out the fence on in Nitro's queue where I mentioned and check out the perfect spot for security guards!

Anyone gonna be @ the park tomorrow?

 

It's a BAFF day but its also supposed to be pretty crappy weather so I'm hoping it's quiet. Taking a buddy who has never been, with ponchos in tow. Long live GreatAdv's rain policy!

I'm not 100% sure right now (he's gotta get his wifes permission lmao) but its looking good. If it does work out I'll be @ Toro first thing in the morning. There is a concert and that 5K inflatable run thingy. Hopefully they stay away from Toro lol.

 

If you guys see me say hello.

 

edit: I totally saw this coming. Sorry njcoasterguy34 (tho I'm personally stoked to do Namtab a few more times)

They probably should have worded it "Will you brave the rain this weekend?" since its looking pretty crappy both days. Good time for us junkies to show up tho.

Park is closed Monday.

 

Oh well.. that's a shame. I guess Sunday it is then.

 

Also, they will run Kingda Ka if it's not raining, even if it just rained. I went back in April and no less than 10 minutes after the rain stopped I was able to get a few re-rides on it.

 

^Zumanjaro also closes for rain like Kingda Ka. It once closed right when we got to the front after waiting an hour.
