KoasterDan Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 ^I know what you mean. My dad won't go through it because he doesn't want anything to happen to his car. I think it will be less of a theme project, and more of a new layout of the driving path, along with moving some of the animal areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRideNick Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I might be heading down to SFGA next weekend. Haven't been since 2010. Does anybody know if Green Lantern has the "big boy rows" in the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanian Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Looks like this saturday has a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms. Starting to rethink my trip there now. Not sure if its 100% worth it with the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if its 100% worth it with the rain. There was a 50% chance of rain while we were there today, and it was blue sky's all day. Rides closed for about three minutes but that was about it. I created a new music video while at the park. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nTnaC5eE1I&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrazy 9 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^ Nice video but no Nitro or El Toro? Yeah, I got a ton of video, but my camera's memory started to go, so I couldn't really record any more video. Plus I'm an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster_Fanatic Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Going to SFGAdv on Friday. Any tips on lines? Also, I feel like that I'm gunna pee my pants just thinking about going on Kingda Ka. Should I be scared? I'm not the biggest fan of heights so I was just making sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^ It depends, do you get scarred of heights from being up there a few seconds just because you are looking down or is it that you only get afraid when you are there for awhile? If it is the first, close your eyes on the drop of Kingda Ka and I think you will be ok. If it is the second, you will be fine but don't go on the parachute tower, Ferris wheel, or Skyscreamer.

Coaster_Fanatic Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^^ Aren't you in the 300 club Lol. Yes, but I have never been on a strata, or anything over the 400+ foot mark. I just don't like looking down and seeing only an asphalt parking lot. Being up for a while doesn't phase me whatsoever for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetheonlyJT Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^ It shouldn't be that bad the ride is only around 20 seconds long and going over the top is very quick unless there is a rollback(I haven't been on kingda ka by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^^Actually, the proximity with the parking lot actually makes it seem less tall, because the only view is a parking lot, trees, and a highway. Since there isn't much to compare your height with, it does not seem as tall as it is. Also, it goes slow enough over the hophat to not provide airtime, but fast enough so that is is over quickly. You should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3luvr Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 As i have never been on TTD or KK, I always thought you at least got SOME airtime on them... Am i wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I have gotten airtime in the back of TTD, but never KK. Although, I have ridden KK once, in row 3, and I got far more airtime on the brakes hill than the tophat. Unfortunatly, the hills fail to pull you over like Xcelerator or Stormrunner. It would be wicked if they could make a strata with as much airtime over to tophat as either of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I wouldn't be worried about Kingda Ka. I was super scared my first time, but when the ride starts you are too busy being amazed at the launch speed to really care about anything else.

The bumper cars are officially open and They go pretty fast too. Hopefully they are fast because most Bumper Cars are very slow and boring. If you haven't been on the one's at Knoebles you need to try them. Heading to the park on September 14th for Gay Day and can't wait! I haven't been on Sky Screamer yet, so I'm excited to check that out and El Toro night rides till 12am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwil Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If you're afraid of heights, KK honestly should not be a big deal. To me the most impressive thing about the ride is its speed, not its height. You're over the hill so fast you don't get time to appreciate just how high you are. A ride like Skyrush is infinitely more thrilling, in my opinion, despite its "lesser" stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better then a gay day with night rides on coasters! And Kingda ka is really fun the first time you go, it's gotten quite rough but after the incredible launch the rest is pretty much just speeding through the course with a small pause on top. You don't feel the drop because your going so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This is on the SFGAdv facebook page. In 2013 you'll be packing your bags, for where one door closes, another door opens. What will you bring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I went to the park a few days ago, and found something to rant about: If you guys think the Bizarro operations are horrible, well DejaVu's (the scrambler) operations were putrid. There was only one operator for the ride who: manually unlocked all of the resraints, manually locked all of the restraints in the slowest manner possible,walked to the booth, visual f*cking scan, began the pathetically short ride cycle(was it even 30 seconds long?), rinse, repeat. I swear that my friend and I had to wait 20 minutes for the rest of our families to ride with a one cycle wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster_Fanatic Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I conquered Kingda Ka today! It's now my second favorite coaster, behind El Toro of course . The launch was the most intense thing that I have ever ridden and the height was extreme. Overall I give the ride a 9/10. I would give it a perfect 10/10 if it was a little bit longer.

ElToroGirl84 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have not been to this site or six flags in probably 3 years so coming here for help on recent operations at the park. I got married recently and my husband has a god daughter that we plan on taking to the park this coming monday and she absolutely LOVES roller coasters! Her mom however is not in best health and can't ride most of them and doesn't really like amusement parks(mostly crowds) so my husband and I are treating her this coming Monday to six flags(she has already been to other parks in the area Hershey and Dorney). She unfortunately is about 53 inches so she probably won't get to ride most of the big coasters but she can ride EL Toro! After telling her about it she seemed more than excited to go with us. My questions are mostly do you think she would be able to ride any of the other coasters being an inch away from being tall enough? Like I said above I haven't been to six flags great adventure in years and I've never treated a child(well 9 turning 10 soon)to an experience like this and I was never interested in coasters as a kid so I never encountered this personally. Not sure if they would be able let her on with being only an inch off? I remember some kids getting turned away at Nitro even though they were tall enough back in 2009 or 10 (I can't remember when I was there last) I just worry that this would happen to her with being just an inch away. I know El Toro and Sky Screamer shouldn't be a problem and she showed interest on both of those. I'm looking forward to seeing the new flats they added back including the bumper cars and Houdini's great Escape. Any idea on wait times on a monday? Rain is forecasted so I'm hoping that keeps the crowds down. I'm sure we will be spending most of the day riding El Toro though. Also is there anyway to do PArent swap even though we aren't her parents? We are obviously in charge of her that day I just don't know that since we aren't her 'parents' could we still ride the coasters even if she can't ride and have my husband wait with her and vice versa. I know Disney does this without a physical pass but it sounds like Great Adventure is more strict with this. Any information you guys can give would be helpful thanks! Looking forward to visiting Great Adventure again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
