coasterbill Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I wish they'd do away with Voodoo Island and leave the Log Flume open all season but unfortunately that's never going to happen.
boldikus Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 anyone else get the "Important Message from the Park President" about the two BAFF nights they added due to the power outages this weekend?
Jcoaster Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 anyone else get the "Important Message from the Park President" about the two BAFF nights they added due to the power outages this weekend? No please explain.
boldikus Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 A Message from John Fitzgerald, President of Six Flags Great Adventure Dear Valued Season Pass Holder, Let me begin by stating how important you are to us at Six Flags. If you visited the park this past Sunday, September 14th, you probably did not have a great experience. We had a power failure at 1:20 PM, which forced us to shut down about half of our rides for the remainder of the day. The power outage also impacted Food, Retail, and Game locations throughout the park. A transformer owned and operated by the power company failed, causing the outage. But you are our valued Guest; and as such, Sunday was to be a celebration of your patronage. A bring-a-friend-free coupon was valid for all Season Pass holders this past weekend. It rained all day Saturday and the power outage followed on Sunday. To make matters worse, three traffic accidents occurred on I-195, which caused significant delays in leaving the park. I do personally apologize for the inconvenience. Sunday's experience is not the impression of the 2014 season that we want to leave you with. We would like for you to visit again during Fright Fest. This is my favorite event of the year with "Thrills by day" and "Fright by night"! Follow the instructions below to redeem your free ticket. Fright Fest operating hours on October 3 and October 10 are from 5:30 p.m. – midnight. Once again please accept my apologies for this past Sunday and I look forward to seeing you during Fright Fest. All the best, John These were originally both BAF for (I think) $19.99 days, and now they made them free. They are both Friday nights if I'm not mistaken.
Genx24 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 That's actually a pretty neat way to compensate inconvienced guests. Good job GAdv. Although I still had an amazing time there Saturday afternoon. Nitro and B:TR in the rain was an experience I won't soon forget.
Lightnin Loops Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 anyone else get the "Important Message from the Park President" about the two BAFF nights they added due to the power outages this weekend? nope, I didn't get any email from the park about this.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe boldikus is SFGAdv's only valued passholder?
boldikus Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Haha my bro-in-law got one too and he's got a membership. Funny thing about it, he pointed out at the bottom of both of our emails it says "This email was sent because you are a Six Flags Great Adventure Pass Holder or Member who visited on September 14, 2014." BUT we weren't at GAdv on the 14th, we were at SFA, lol.
njcoasterguy34 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 They probably had their filter set-up incorrectly. Instead of searching for passholders and members who used their card on the 14th, they should have searched for passholders and members who used their card on the 14th at Great Adventure.

BUT we weren't at GAdv on the 14th, we were at SFA, lol. That makes sense... they probably just pulled the wrong email list and screwed up the dynamic fields. They probably confused it with the similar email they send everyone that visits Six Flags America that starts out much the same way... Dear Valued Season Pass Holder, If you visited Six Flags America, you probably did not have a great experience. Sunday's experience is not the impression of the 2014 season that we want to leave you with. We would like for you to visit Six Flags Great Adventure during Fright Fest. Follow the instructions below to redeem your free ticket. Fright Fest operating hours on October 3 and October 10 are from 5:30 p.m. – midnight. I can see how this caused some confusion with the marketing team.
Jcoaster Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Next year will be the 5 anniversary of Great American Scream Machine's death. R.I.P. to my not only my favorite Arrow of all time, but also one of my favorite coasters of all time. I wish they didn't remove you for the re-located abomination that is Green Lantern.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I unfortunately never had the chance to ride GASM, but I would much rather have it than Green Lantern.
coasterbill Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I was never a big fan of Scream Machine as it was pretty rough but I agree that it was better than Green Lantern.
El Toro_Ryan Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I never thought GASM was too rough, besides maybe the turn into the MCRB. Maybe it would have been more popular if the park let you ride with a pillow tucked between your head and the OTSR.... or a helmet. lol
Blue Turbo Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 ^That should be the required operation for all Arrow loopers.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 ^ When you grow up riding Steel Phantom at Kennywood, you don't need no stinkin' crash helmet.
Melkieyunz Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 That is an awesome idea! I love everything about it! I've been wanting a new coaster on that side of the park for some time now. Really needs some new life to it.
thesman Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Heading to the park today anyone know how the crowds are or what to do this season?
thesman Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Heading to the park today anyone know how the crowds are? (I'm guessing light in the beginning of the day then crowded later since its the first day of fright fest).
Lightnin Loops Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Heading to the park today anyone know how the crowds are? (I'm guessing light in the beginning of the day then crowded later since its the first day of fright fest). It's sat and it's fright fest. Park should be packed.

(I'm guessing light in the beginning of the day then crowded later since its the first day of fright fest). It's sat and it's fright fest. Park should be packed. Agreed. Ride as many rides as you can early in the day before things get crazy.
Vonni Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I find it interesting that when Green Lantern was Chang at SFKK it received so much praise and everyone seemed to love it, and now that its at SFGAd everyone seems to hate it and says its a horrible Coaster. I have never ridden it at either Park so I cant speak from experience, but what is different about it now that makes it a horrible Coaster?
Brassinthegrass Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 That may have to do with what it's standing with in the park... As Chamg, it was T2, and a few other "not world class" coasters... At great adventure its standing with Kingda Ka, El Toro, and Nitro... That a tough group to stand up to...
