jburns309 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Quick Review from Sunday. Went to the park Sunday. Cold but not extremely crowded. Longest wait was 75 minutes for Green Lantern. Zumanjaro was closed all day, and KingdaKa was just opening as we were leaving at 7:00. And boy, El Toro's line always moves fast. 60 minute wait was cut in half. Nitro's line was also moving fast. Any questions let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 As a Phillies fan, I have a vested interest in seeing the Cubs win. Besides, pretty much any decent-hearted sports fan (that aren't Mets or Cardinals fans) wants to see the Cubs finally get their win. Plus, I like the sound of Kingda Cubs.

njcoasterguy34 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Well, I got an email from Great Adventure today saying they found my wallet. Does anyone know if I can go pick it up when the park isn't open for rides by going through the employee/delivery entrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 ^ You would probably have to call ahead and arrange that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Flyin Phil took some new (and always awesome) aerial photos of the park during a recent packed Fright Fest weekend, including some shots of the Total Mayhem construction area. Check out his site if you haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspence1127 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Some interesting news that I saw on GreatAdventureHistory. In this video interview about Six Flags record earnings for 2015 they talked about Total mayhem. Or should I say, "The Jokers' Total Mayhem" May have just been an error but I doubt it.

coasterbill Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Lol he must. Then again doing a goofy show about the stock market is damn near impossible so I guess he kind of has to be like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generational Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I know I am late to the Total Mayhem hype train, but the renderings of the 4D coasters always seem to leave me with a sense of motion sickness. Is it just the rendering, or is it like that in actuality? However, with that said, I've always wanted to check these coasters out and now that one is relatively close to my homestead, I should make the trip down at some point. I haven't been to GAdv in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It's not sickening, but the negative G leaves me with a headache every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strz Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's not sickening, but the negative G leaves me with a headache every once in a while. Lovely! Hence why I didn't get excited when this was announced as our next coaster....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I was just thinking about this (and I know it would be next to impossible), but I honestly believe that with the newer systems for launching coasters, that something like Batman and Robin: Chiller could work again. The entire area where that coaster sat is now all but gone (is Musik Express still SBNO?) and is pretty much a waste of space. You can keep the superhero theme as an extension of Movie Town, plow the area where Chiller sat, and create something new while revitalizing the area. And it doesn't even have to be a dual coaster; it could be an entirely new coaster, with superhero theming. It doesn't make much sense to own that area and use it for nothing. I know this has been discussed before, but it's still worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The general consensus on this thread (and other sites) is that the next area for a major development will either be Rolling Thunder's plot or Old Country. The former seems unlikely until they're willing to actually expand instead of just building up/rebuilding what area already exists, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the next coaster in that general vicinity. As for when this might be, some are saying as soon as 2017/18, but I'd be more likely to say 2019/20. A Justice League dark ride and perhaps some more flat rides could be in the cards before the next major coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I hit the park up this morning getting there 10 minutes after opening. The place is going to be packed tonight. I got five quick rides on El Toro (first four without leaving the train) and then did a lap around the park and used my 2016 dining pass for the 6th time this year (Nathan's two hot dogs and fries this time). I'm certainly maxing out that dining option. I took the Sky Ride across the park to sea the Total Mayhem area. Only a small building (possibly where the pool filtering system was housed) and some of the crushed up foundation remain in the old Fort Independence footprint. I finally stopped at Papa's Tomato Pies in Robbinsville (about 12 miles from the park) on the way home and understand why this is rated one of the top pizza places in the country.

coneyislandchris Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I hit the park up this morning getting there 10 minutes after opening. As did I. My 4-year-old had a super week at pre-K, so for a reward, he got a day at the park. Since it was just the two of us today, it was almost entirely flat rides, plus the three 42" coasters. No luck getting him on Runaway Mine Train or Skull Mountain this time. I took the Sky Ride across the park to sea the Total Mayhem area. Only a small building (possibly where the pool filtering system was housed) and some of the crushed up foundation remain in the old Fort Independence footprint. We did the sky ride as well, and I remembered to snap a photo while passing by; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassinthegrass Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Its like they think people are going to be walking in that area of the park more... how odd! So glad to finally see this side of the park get some love, I hope the next few additions to the park happen on the west side of the park, it REALLY needs the love!

woolandmammoth Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Its nice to see that the waterfall is operating again. I thought that we would never see that happen. At least they are keeping up on their best coaster! Hopefully this is a sign of more lakefront revitalization to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallDuell Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 How long has that waterfall been inoperable? Seems like a strange time of year to fire it up, no? Has there been talk of them working to get it working again, or is this a total surprise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
