coasterbill Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) "Guests will be required to proceed through a temperature check and then directly to Nitro where their mask will be permanently frozen to their face". ... I like it ^ I think the biggest issue with Cedar Fair this year is their stubbornness to run any attraction with anything less than a full crew, so they've had an issue with staffing. Six Flags doesn't mind running rides with bare-bone ride crews and having a bazillion food locations closed. Maybe, I don't know. Not doing a Christmas event because of Covid in any park that's open through October is stunningly stupid. Nobody will have an issue covering their faces... they do it anyway voluntarily. Crowds are lighter in general. Crowds are better behaved in general because those events target families so they're more likely to follow the new rules. Christmas events are already perfect for this crazy new reality. Edited September 3, 2020 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm really impressed that they're going for it and don't see it as less safe than the mall opening indoors in the middle of winter! At least people will be outdoors and happily wearing a face covering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least people will be outdoors and happily wearing a face covering! I really hope we don't still have a face-covering mandate by then. I can barely stand wearing a mask for more than a few moments, which is why haven't been to any amusement parks since this whole mess started. It's also why I do all my grocery shopping online with curbside pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will not lift that until mass people would be able to receive the vaccine and that’s not happening for at least a year. They were actually just talking about it last week in a press conference. So yes more then likely all of next season will be very similar to this one with masks and social distancing.

No pandemic necessary. It’s a lot less annoying than doing it outdoors in the summer or even inside a 70 degree building. I mean, usually people question me NOT covering my face on Nitro in the winter (but I’m here for a good time not a long time).

Garet Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I mean there are worse options than masks. Disclaimer: These are actually for noise, and were installed way before the pandemic because Lotte World is in an area surrounded by apartments which sell or rent for unbelievable prices (Over $1,000,000) but there are way worse options that can take away from ride experiences than having to wear a mask. That last one is an upgrade, they used to be full helmets with foam insulation that blocked your view on the top and so scratched you were blocked on the bottom, and the black foam would feel like an oven in the summer.

coasterbill Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Old news, but Justice League opened for the holiday weekend. I guess they were waiting on approval from the state to open "Indoor Amusements" but as soon as they got it they opened the ride. (The two indoor coasters have been open since day one with large bay doors open and fans circulating air).

Canobie Coaster Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Did they have to do anything special to open it like run it with doors open or can they run it as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I haven't been on it but I think it's operating normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 See, Skull Mountain with the roll-up doors open would still work since it was just an indoor, in the dark coaster. Dark Knight, though, wouldn't that ruin most of the effects since it was so reliant on lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 For anyone who has done the safari, roughly how long does it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john10693 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It took 1 hour 40 minutes or so on a Sunday just after a heavy rainfall in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 From what I hear, it's about 45 min of driving, with additional time if you want to explore camp aventura Edit: nevermind, I forgot it's drive through this year. Edit2: The website says to budget 3 hours to drive through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 ^ Ok thanks! I'm looking to head down later this month when the amusement park is open 2-10 and was trying to plan when to do the safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo77 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 When we did the Safari it was a little over an hour to drive through. Looks like the 2021 pass info is now out. https://sixflags.com/greatadventure/store/tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I'm seeing some pictures circulating online that El Toro now has metal detectors. If the park is going to have the no loose article rule, I'm in favor of this as opposed to being interogated by an employee at the entrance. The past few times I've had to turn a few cargo pockets inside out so this may accelerate things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
