Philrad71 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I rode Lightnin' Loops one time and then heard someone died or flew out of it...a couple of years after it happened. Damn...I always come in last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparkes92 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 On the topic of Lightning Loops, my mom told me she was at Great Adventure the same day somebody died on it. I love your avi! "It's still real to me dammit!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I've ridden one half of Lightnin' Loops, and I don't think Great Adventure is missing much. It was one of those that I wanted to ride because it was so different from anything I'd ridden before, but it was awful. Replacing it with a boomerang would be an upgrade.

Garet Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I realize I'm a few pages too late but to add T Express was closed for annual winter maintenance and nothing to do with whatever is going on with Collosos. It and the water rides close every year for around 2 months and they get the annual maintenance done then because the temperature is so cold that it isn't allowed to open most days anyway. The English website always sucks at updating but Samsung have bigger issues than updating a page i'm sure. If you look at the Korean site they are advertising the reopening.

boldikus Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 ^ @Garet thank you for that! The insufferable whiners over @ the GAdv Connoisseurs FB group were just going on about how T Express was having problems and how it was tied to Colossus and insinuating the other prefabs would have issues too, with no source to back any of these claims up (of course). Good to hear it from a local its running like usual. Also, 10 days y'all! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well this is pretty cool. Via the parks snapchat (gradventure), looks like they are installing an entirely new pathway. Also yay for theming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp1086 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 New path? I assume it's not that super convenient one that used to connect Kingda Ka and El Toro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 No, the photo is of the pathway out front of where JL is located. Hopefully it's more than just the insignias that they installed outside their other versions, but odds are that's all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 New path? I assume it's not that super convenient one that used to connect Kingda Ka and El Toro? I still don't understand why that path is not opened up! Its simple really. There is nothing for you to buy along that path. Sure, they could add a few booths/kiosks but why bother when they can make you walk through the boardwalk with its endless plethora of mediocre food and crappy games? This is likely the same reason they aren't opening the Old Country path when JLBFM opens - they'll send us around through Movietown since there is stuff to buy there. When stuff Six Flags does doesn't make sense, just follow the money. And in regard to that path - if Safari Discoveries is open (it usually is during the day) use that to cut between PDC/Golden Kingdom. You get to look at some fun animals on the way.

Vonni Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I understand the logic, I just feel like they really wouldn't lose much money, if any at all, by opening the path. Most people that frequent theme parks don't usually (I stress the word usually) make impulse purchases. I know I'm not a theme park expert. But I do feel I'm right. Either way, SF isn't going to listen to little old me lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people that frequent theme parks don't usually (I stress the word usually) make impulse purchases. That's a pretty general statement that in my experience is far from reality. I've found that when I take non-enthusiast folk to the park (often, since I don't drive) they are much more likely to stop and want to buy something, or at the very least browse since they don't go so often, compared to me who wanders around the park from ride to bar to ride, mostly oblivious to the parks attempts to sell me things - I rarely go looking in retail stores (except Coasters and Candy - I pass it coming/going to the Bull, and I always check for new magnets) and Ive even gotten pretty good about completely tuning out the incessant advertising everywhere you turn that everyone seems to complain about.
