coasterbill Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) The new map is out... anyway, Edited February 27, 2020 by coasterbill
Canobie Coaster Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 ^ Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't El Toro have vending machines in the queue line? I vaguely remember the sign by the ride saying no phones or keys. Either way, my wallet is going in the locker since that vending machine isn't on the meal plan.
coasterbill Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I wondered about that once too and a ride op told me that they don't actually care if you bring your wallet in line. Still, since I always get a locker anyway I always throw it in there. I don't know how El Toro or Kingda Ka ever sell ride photos since you have to remember the number, go to the locker and then come all the way back if you still decide that you want it that badly.
boldikus Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I mean, if people didn't see this coming I don't even know what to say.
coasterbill Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Oh yeah, this was completely predictable. I do kind of wonder why this is only a thing at Great Adventure. It's weird.
Canobie Coaster Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 ^ Could it just be a New Jersey thing? Not only do these rides at Great Adventure not allow loose articles, but GaleForce, Nor'Easter, and the bigger rides at American Dream all have a similar policy. I wondered about that once too and a ride op told me that they don't actually care if you bring your wallet in line. Still, since I always get a fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo anyway I always throw it in there. I don't know how El Toro or Kingda Ka ever sell ride photos since you have to remember the number, go to the fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo and then come all the way back if you still decide that you want it that badly. I'd say you could remember the time as an alternative and get them on the way out, but then I remembered you don't have your phone and most people use that instead of a watch.
AmyUD06 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Not only do these rides at Great Adventure not allow loose articles, but GaleForce, Nor'Easter, and the bigger rides at American Dream all have a similar policy. It's possible. NJ does have the greatest ratio of lawyers to residents in the US, after all.
boldikus Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Is this the first time they've explicitly stated on the map that the flume would run through October? I know its been running later the last few years but I feel like people were surprised it was?
coasterbill Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Good catch, but they're still not tricking me into going to Fright Fest (unless they do another one of those post-Halloween ones again where nobody shows up).
KBrylczyk Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 ^ Could it just be a New Jersey thing? Not only do these rides at Great Adventure not allow loose articles, but GaleForce, Nor'Easter, and the bigger rides at American Dream all have a similar policy. Yes, actually, it is. NJ has some of the strictest ride regulations in the country. On the contrary, PA, right next door, has some of the loosest.
Code94 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Twister survives! I was thinking the same thing lol. That’s definitely the next ride to be removed. Especially with that Cyborg pos in the same park.
coasterbill Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I'm sure they'll just run it until it runs out of free spare parts from all of the other removed top spins in the chain. They removed a lot, so there's really no telling when that will be.
LegendLover Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 From the park's Facebook page Vertical construction has started on Jersey Devil! And it looks like there is already a nice sprinkling of supports up with some larger ones in place. Looks like this ride will be ready for a Memorial Day weekend opening! If not a bit sooner! These things are supposed to go up quick aren't they? As per usual, looking through the comments was disappointing; so many people complaining about construction times and such.
publicblast Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks, was just coming to this thread to ask about an ETA for Jersey Devil. Was wildly hoping for a soft open on Opening Weekend, sounds like that's a big nope. Which is totally fine, but was trying to talk my kid out of an Opening Weekend visit and this gives me more ammo, hah.
boldikus Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Another construction update from the park with a nice little bit of focus on the local lore behind the theme. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
coasterbill Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) This ride is going to be incredible. I can't wait for November! Also if you look closely in that shot of the staging area you can see crews hard at work not painting Nitro. Edited March 5, 2020 by coasterbill
boldikus Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 The park shared some more photos via their socials of vertical construction. Going up fast. *insert played out enthusiast comment about how all the other new additions are testing*
pryonisys Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 This is looking great so far, I hope to get out there sometime fairly soon to get a ride on this thing
coneyislandchris Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I have no doubt in my mind it's going to go up super fast. Memorial Day can't come soon enough.
Masquerade Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 The park shared some more photos via their socials of vertical construction. Going up fast.

jlp94 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Looks really good. Hopefully I'll be able to convince my parents to add a day to our trip for Great Adventure!
