Nitro1118 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Whatever the plans are was proposed tonight to the town (thanks to GAH for the pic). Hopefully at least some info from the meeting leaks out soon as the park drops no hints whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 ^^ Looks like we dropped the ball. Pleanty of GADV attractions have been given away at these meetings. The deadline for approval is 8/31. Only a few days before the announcement. Id imagine that they are feeling rather confident this will be approved by cutting it that close. This leads me to believe that there is going to minimal if any tree removal, absolutely not getting closer than the existing structures to the lake, and likely not going over any paths. Those are the things that the park up when dealing with the township. Hopefully the towns posts a recap of the meeting somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saweetdude05 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The only capital improvement I want to see is SFGAdv being allowed to run Zumanjaro and Ka at the same time. I'm guessing the park has pretty much given up on that being allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Even a coaster with lighter capacity is better is better than doing nothing. After riding Batman at SFFT today, I fully endorse adding one to SfGAdv. My typical day in the future would start with one ride on the 4D before heading over to El Toro. Capacity might be a concern, but people will leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here's the link for the Jackson, NJ Planning Board Agendas and Meeting Notes (the notes for the 8/17 meeting have yet to get posted as of 8/18 am): http://www.jacksontwpnj.net/index.php/2014-06-25-01-48-12/planning-board We'll see if we learn anything from this.....

ejot Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Has the community been tuned to these types of meeting minutes in previous "big" years? Have they been very telling before? Perhaps this will start a trend where enthusiasts from all over fly in for a few weeks to the main "rumor" parks around announcement season and combine park trips with attending all the public planning meetings. In hopes for the scoop on the details. Those crazy coaster enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 ^^ I wouldn't hold your breath over the meeting minutes. It can take upwards of a month for meeting minutes to get uploaded to their site based on the rest of the 2015 meetings. At that rate the actual announcement from Six Flags will be almost two weeks old. ^ It's helped out in the past, some years moreso than others. A planning meeting is how enthusiasts were able to confirm that the park was indeed receiving Chang as its 2011 addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not to go off topic but I didnt mention this in my brief report from this weekend. Does it amaze anyone else how many people will wear a Batman/Superman T-shirt when going to the park? I'm not talking about a Six Flags shirt, I just mean a simple t-shirt with the logo on it. I must have seen at least 15 people in the two hours on Sunday. And its not the first time. Are all the other SF parks like this? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Maybe you are right and I just happen to notice it more when I'm @ the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There is another "Leaked Rendering" that was recently posted to Great Adventure History. This one shows a rather unrealistically large boat in the lake. This one essentially invalidates the other as it is borderline comedic. Also, people who attended the meeting are reported that Six Flags was approved for a lake front coaster in the area previously occupied by the grandstand. They also reported that there are new bleachers/arena seating going where fort independence was. I don't know how accurate these reports are, but they are reports. So time will tell.

TyRush Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 An S&S seems likely but I feel like the park just needs something better. Either way having another coaster is better than not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazi Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I just really hope SF is making the right decision here. PERSONALLY I think SFOT needs a new coaster WAYYYYY more that GAdv. Their lineup is so good! SFOT needs a coaster much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terdferg Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 You can have like four of our coasters and we will take your RMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 ^ LOL I think most locals would happily give up: Dark Knight Green Lantern Ultimate Flight Road Runner Railway in exchange for New Texas Giant. But doesn't seem like a fair trade for Texas imo, and no you cannot have Skull Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 and no you cannot have Skull Mountain. As ashamed as some would be to say this, I would have to seriously sit down and think about trading Skull Mountain for Texas Giant. A long think.

boldikus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There is no shame in loving Skull Mountain. Easily the most underrated coaster in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Skull Mountain is absolutely fantastic, especially in the back seat. From FB, publicly available. A little bit of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The drop in the back seat of Skull Mountain gets me every time. Even though the drop is short and shallow, you still get dragged down and it's actually a lot of fun. Underrated for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Skully is a great coaster. One of my favorites at the park. Back row airtime is unreal. The only thing that fits in the grandstand spot is a freespin. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
