michaellynn4 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yea, I agree. There are certainly still areas that need significant improvement, but overall, SFGAdv has been trending upwards. Any word yet on the upcoming Coasters After Dark? It's been advertised for 4/25, but I can't find any announced hours yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I love Nitro and ride many many many times when I go to the park. Back seat at night is my favorite. Side note: I love reading these threads and how everyone pays that much attention to train names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeeman311 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 For Coasters After Dark info, I'm pretty sure it's Friday from 5-9. They share that day with Physics Day so if you get there a little early you could get in. I highly recommend going as its the emptiest night of the year in the park. If my SFNE plans fall through I'll definitely be attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 After doing a google search for "Great Adventure Coasters After Dark", it brought up mostly Facebook event listings for CAD for the last few years so I'm assuming they will announce it there sometime this week? I've never been and have heard it is the BEST night to go for little to no crowds so the less promotion from the park the better imo lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsplumber Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 what ever happened to the season pass holders day? they dont do that anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have been a passholder since 2008 and since then there have been 2 season pass nights. Coasters After Dark and Fall Family Fun Night in September. Last year there wasn't a season pass night in the fall since Fright Fest started so early and they were open every Friday night from September 13th on (and all the Friday nights in September were empty so they aren't doing that again this year).

RideofSteel Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 maybe its just me, but great adventure seems to be getting more run down every year. like they do nothing in the offseason. I think the park is in a very decrepit state right now. Great Adventure obviously isn't perfect, but I think in the past few years they have been improving a lot. Yum Yum Palace's exterior was completely repainted. Work was done over the past off-season to improve the exteriors of some of the buildings on Main Street. The log flume is also getting a major refurbishment. Frontier Adventures looks amazing compared to previous years, and Plaza Del Carnaval has always stood out to me as one of the nicest areas of the park. Adventure Alley also looks great compared to a couple years ago when it was almost empty. That being said, I think there are several areas in the park that could use improvement. Nitro's queue looks terrible, and the station and ride look worse and worse every year. Last season Superman's queue was awful too. But, making changes to those areas will not bring in any more money for the park and will be very expensive. I'm thinking about heading to the park this weekend... If I do I'll be sure to take pictures for a PTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Coasters After Dark will be from 6:00PM to 9:00PM this Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 6-9 PM is such a bad time in my opinion for Coaster After Dark. It does not even get dark until about 7:30 PM. That does not leave much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Agreed. When we were there a week and half ago it started to get dark @ 7:30. Wish it would go later. BUT if the park is dead, 3 hours is plenty of time to get a lot of riding in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsplumber Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Coasters After Dark will be from 6:00PM to 9:00PM this Friday. that's it? 3 hrs? it doesn't even get dark till about 8. wish the event went latter into the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's disappointing it is only 3 hours. They went from it being 5 hours, then to 4 hours and now to 3 hours. I'll still probably go though since I can't go to the park Saturday and both Saturday and Sunday have some Food Truck and Wine Festival which might bring more crowds than normal.

boldikus Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just got word from the boss that I can close early on Friday to get up there and just secured a ride so I'll be there! If you see me say hi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeman311 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Honestly I would still try to get to the park early. The last couple years I got into the park before the start time because of Physics Day so you may be able to get in if you get there for 5.

boldikus Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's the plan. Leaving Philly at around 4 so should be up there by 5 depending on traffic. I doubt they'll make us wait, but if they do no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Going to try and make it down for this. In previous years Coasters After Dark has been nothing but walk-ons all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsplumber Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 weather.com right now has a 30% chance of rain for fri evening in Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Great Adventure doesn't care about rain so it doesn't really matter. The only coaster that closes in the rain is already closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I like the sound of that. I'd imagine coasters run faster on wet tracks, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Maybe slightly damp, but probably if it's soaking it will create more drag. I do like that attitude of Great Adventure, though (instead of closing everything as soon as a drop falls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
