Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGAdv) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I thought I was going to go with a membership this year, but after running the numbers it just didn't seem worth it.

 

After looking at the cost of what I wanted (parking and entry to all amusement parks, deluxe dining plan and unlimited drinks) it was $173.13 for the Gold Season Pass, this includes about $20 in taxes and processing fees).

I'll be honest, this year my family and I haven't been visiting Six Flags parks as frequently as we have in the past, and I'm not even sure if we've gotten the value out of our 2018 dining passes. We're all still grandfathered in on the Gold Combo memberships at a lower price than the cheapest current offer, so I think we're going to let the dining passes expire at the end of this season, and then just continue to hang onto Gold Combo until they unceremoniously retire it at some point in the future (or cut the included benefits to a point where we'd need to pick up Gold Plus). I can't see myself shelling out the $340 or so for four deluxe dining passes for us if we only go a handful of times.

As others have said in the past, the crowds at this park make no sense, lol.

 

Exhibit A: Labor Day weekend Saturday: beautiful weather, holiday weekend, no significant lines that I saw.

 

Exhibit B: Labor Day weekend Sunday: same weather, holiday weekend, 10x the crowds (based on what I read, anyways)

 

Typically the holiday Monday itself at ANY other park will yield better than the weekend, but I swear you never know with this park.

From Screamscape today:

 

Park News - (9/10/18) I'm not sure how true this is, but an odd rumor came in over the weekend claiming that El Diablo could leave at the end of the 2018 season. Anyone else heard this, or is it complete nonsense? Personally I’m not buying it just yet...

 

My initial feeling was...

...but then I thought about it a little bit more and to be honest, when factoring in a couple more things that we know, the claim may not be that far off. We know that they walled off the Splashwater Oasis complex in the Golden Kingdom. Also, at Riding of the Bulls on Saturday, park president John Winkler told those attending that the 2020 attraction will be “tall", "made of steel”, and has been in the works for a while. This heavily hints towards a coaster, which would fit nicely into the potential area freed up by removing Oasis and Diablo.

 

I still lean towards "bulls**t" about El Diablo leaving, but who knows.

Maybe they realized giving an entirely new ride to La Ronde wasn't worth it so they're getting another hand me down?

 

Then again this is Screamscape so everything is taken with a grain of salt.

 

I know your kidding, but I read a rumor that this is exactly whats happening

Now obviously there's no way to be sure if its true, (although apparently this rumor also originates from Riding of the Bull, in which one of the staff members told a couple of people it would be leaving) but I honestly won't be surprised if this happens, and then the "big project" for 2020's ride entrance is located where El Diablo is currently.

Let's operate under the assumption that it's true that El Diablo goes away . . .

 

And take the clues (tall & made of steel) . . . maybe a B&M Wing Coaster?

I was told that the hint was just a joke as Wonder Woman is also tall and steel and has been in the works for over a year. I see it being a skyline eclipse.

After the Skywarp debacle, wouldn't doubt if SF already told Skyline.... you're fired.

I wouldn't be surprised if Skyline offers a 2 for 1 deal to apologize. Wouldn't be the first time Designers have offered it (Vekoma, S&S, Intamin)

^I’m pretty sure all this skyline deal stuff is 100% ungrounded speculation based on how Harley Quinn @SFDK opened later than initially announced. Also the El diablo stuff as far as I understand is based on a single Screamscape post, which as we know has questionable reliability/accuracy, especially in this case as the guy who wrote that post is quite unsure themselves.
