LegendLover 15 Posted March 2, 2020 Share 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 0 Posted March 4, 2020 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
boldikus 170 Posted March 4, 2020 Share 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] Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 620 Posted March 5, 2020 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
boldikus 170 Posted March 10, 2020 Share 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* Link to post Share on other sites

coneyislandchris 50 Posted March 10, 2020 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

jlp94 0 Posted March 11, 2020 Share 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! Link to post Share on other sites
3Mutts 0 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Looks really good. Hopefully I'll be able to convince my parents to add a day to our trip for Great Adventure! Hopefully they stay open amid the virus panic. Im personally taking advantage of the situation to visit parks with low crowds (for example Im going to SFA for the first time on the 28th) Link to post Share on other sites

Masquerade 0 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 At this rate Nitro not coming back with a paintjob is, like, disrepair on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Maier 10 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Anyone want to guess on when GAdv actually opens? I say last weekend of April Link to post Share on other sites
ytterbiumanalyst 30 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I think it will depend on whether their virus policy is more like their rain policy or more like their temperature policy. Link to post Share on other sites
RaceBoarder 2 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 You're probably looking at 8-10 weeks from now at a minimum. Best case scenario will be June 1. Worst case, the season is a total loss. Link to post Share on other sites

Either scenario is a clusterfuck. How would the park (and quite frankly, any other park in the SF chain) recover from this? SF probably has insurance policies in place. It's not going to be pleasant, but this could be manageable. There are a number of factors that will play into this so it's hard to predict. Link to post Share on other sites
JG-77 13 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I personally suspect the reopening for many SF parks will have more to do with legal restrictions set by the states they're in than with SF policy. Link to post Share on other sites
mary.pesik 2 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Since Cyborg Hyper Drive hype is over, I have moved on from flipping out over Grid. Who is the new Grid now, you may ask? LOOK NO FURTHER. (yes I know the image is SFOG but still.) Link to post Share on other sites
