boldikus Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 We're actually booked solid with settlements all day but I have nothing to do but greet people and walk them back, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It sounds like the park is open today despite the weather earlier and most likely deserted. All coasters are open except for Joker which is currently FUBARed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physical Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 It was pretty deserted yesterday once the rain stopped. They had the last 5 rows of Nitro roped off, felt like it was running extremely slow. Don't think my butt left the seat once in any row. Batman was running amazingly, as expected, so that was nice. Something about that ride during HitP makes it amazing. It's normally a coaster we skip when we go during the summer, but in the winter? Jesus, it's the best ride in the park.

njcoasterguy34 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Skip Batman???? That's sacrilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyToro Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Skip Batman???? That's sacrilege. Well when you have Talon 10 minutes from home it's hard to justify waiting in any sort of line for (imo) a less superior invert. Especially when that time in line could be spent in line for Toro.

Canobie Coaster Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I prefer Talon but it's extremely close. I couldn't imagine visiting GAdv without riding Batman at least once unless I was extremely pressed for time (like less than 2 hours in the summer).

coasterbill Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 We were in the area so we swung by the park yesterday for an hour to do some Christmas shopping (we still haven't seen everyone and I'm quite the procrastinator) and to take a ride on Batman and Nitro. It was freezing but the park was really busy (as has been the case all week with the exception of Thursday where rain scared people away) and both coasters were running great! A few pictures... Snowing on the way to the park, we were really hoping for some snow rides on Nitro but sadly that never happened... Im no conspiracy theorist, but if they faked the moon landing they probably did it in Great Adventure's parking lot. Joker has been down the last few days, and yesterday they somehow managed to valley it. Note the maintenance staff in the lower right corner attaching the ropes. It was a beautiful (but cold) night at the park. Nitro was flying through the course despite the cold. Holiday in the Park is awesome One last failed attempt at being artsy.

GCI Wooden Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 How did they manage to valley Joker? Also, is their plan to just push it through by sending through another train (That's why that other car is on the lift, right?) This is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 While it would have block stopped anyway, I would imagine that they were testing the ride, the train valleyed and when they realized it they stopped the lift. If you look closely you'll see that they have a cable tied to the train and a crane over on the right. They'll pull it forward and hope that when it drops it has enough momentum to get back to the station so they don't have to winch it again.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Am I wrong, or didn't they just re-pave the parking lot at the beginning of this year? Those potholes look terrible for pavement that hasn't even seen a full winter yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those potholes look terrible for pavement that hasn't even seen a full winter yet. From what I understand, a portion of the parking lot was re-paved. A section will be re-paved every year for the next few seasons. I may be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those potholes look terrible for pavement that hasn't even seen a full winter yet. The parking lot is being paved in the three waves over a three year period. Only 1/3 was completed in spring of 2016, an additional 1/3 will be paved in spring 2017 and the final third in Spring 2018. The attached link explains the rationale. It is free for Six Flags to have it done in this manner. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1707823#p1707823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Soooo anyone going today? Weather is looking good, forecast for closing day tomorrow looks like mostly rain (apologies to Coasterbill - you guys should probably just come home from Delaware today and meet me there lol). I might be flying solo but I'll be there today. Ciders and B&Ms! Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I was there last night with the woman. Holy CRAP Batman was running like it was high on crack! Rode in the front and probably got minor frostbite but sweet lawd baby jesus it was worth it! Also, all you Green Lantern haters are dumb. That thing was riding like a dream last night! Zero head banging (not that I've ever experienced it), fast, forceful, basically everything B&M has been missing for the past ten years. Joker was shut down. Boo.

It was great to meet you and share a ride on Nitro! You prepared for the weather much better than I did, I was done after the one ride. Glad you had fun, get back safe!!
