CaptainUnknown Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Is this bet just for the 25th or the 24th as well? Do you trade off three packs if it's open one but not the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 https://wobm.com/cash-not-welcome-at-six-flags-great-adventure-this-season Quote Six Flags Great Adventure will open for the season at the end of March with safety protocols and a "no cash" policy. The Jackson park is scheduled to open for the season on March 27 while the Hurricane Harbor water park opens May 15 with social distancing protocols. Park spokeswoman Kristin Fitzgerald said that when Six Flags reopened in 2020 they opened at a self-imposed capacity of 25%, which increased during the season as visitors and park employees adjusted to new safety measures. The park will open this year at the 50% capacity for outdoor amusement parks in compliance with Gov. Phil Murphy's executive order. "We feel confident that, going into our second season with our extensive, new protocols, we will be able to increase our attendance to 50%, and be ready to grow that percentage as conditions and government mandates allow," Fitzgerald said. One big difference at all 27 Six Flags and Hurricane Harbors around the country is that only credit cards and mobile payment will be accepted for purchases at restaurants, retail stores, games, ticket windows and parking toll booths. Customers will be able to convert cash to a pre-paid Visa credit card without a fee. The New Jersey Business and Industry Association said the park is in compliance with a bill signed by Gov. Phil Murphy in 2019 prohibiting discrimination against cash paying customers. "Our observation is Six Flags in indeed abiding by the law," NJBIA spokesman Bob Considine told New Jersey 101.5. "They're not requiring the use of credit. Cash-paying customers can still use cash. They just need to take an added step to convert their tender as a matter of safety. We have seen similar approaches of cash-for-cards used in many arcades along the shore for example, even prior to COVID-19." Touchless security screening and mobile food ordering will return for the 2021 season. "Mobile ordering on our dining app allows guests to order food from their mobile device and pick it up at the location when it’s ready," Fitzgerald said. "This greatly reduced stand-by lines and allowed guests to enjoy their time in the park with less waiting." Among the other policies: Visitors must be healthy for at least 14 days before their visit although no proof is required All visitors and employees must wear masks A new online park reservation and contact system will be in place. The park recommends pre-purchasing parking and tickets online prior to a visit 6-foot distance between those in line Minimizing contact between groups on rides with empty seats Reduced indoor capacity Protective barriers between employees and guests Cleaning teams will disinfect common areas and high touch points Games will be sanitized between uses or guests will be provided gloves. Group race games and arcade games will be reconfigured to ensure that visitors are kept separate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I guess this should go here too: https://www.nj.com/monmouth/2021/02/most-six-flags-employees-will-make-15-an-hour-this-summer.html Quote Some Six Flags Great Adventure employees will make $15 an hour this season, after the park announced a major pay hike. The raise is a $4 increase over last season, when most employees made $11. Employees who will see wage increases include food and beverage operations, custodial services, security, shuttle drivers, and lifeguards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know NJ passed a $15 min wage but it was still a few years away until it hit that point, good on Great Adventure not waiting and just going right to it.

prozach626 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I don't think the main purpose of advancing with the $15 sooner than other businesses is to be "fair and progressive." I think the strategy is to advance slightly quicker to make their job postings more appealing, since it's an inevitable change, anyway. The park is doing something they wouldn't have done if it wouldn't be mandatory in the very near future. They'll hold at $15 for as long as possible, just like every other business. Smart strategy, though. As far as NJ Devil it looks great. I'm sure SFSTL will get a raptor just as good, soon............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 ^ Right. Just like in MO we passed the $12/hr minimun wage and right now it's $10.30 but a lot of businesses are just hiring at $12 anyway. Businesses will pay whatever they need to in order to attract employees. Paying $15 may help that one employee make the decision to work for Six Flags instead of their local McDonald's.

anonymouscactus Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The drive thru safari reservations just opened up today, fyi. Going to do the drive thru at 9am on Easter before the park opens at 10.Has anyone done the drive thru safari last year with a non Great Adventure season pass for free (not a membership)? I can't remember where I read that only Great Adventure passes would work. I was able to make the reservation with the SFA pass but I wanted to make sure they weren't going to try and charge me when I get there.Edit: found in the FAQ. Anyone have a different experience?

C.O. Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hey all! Was planning to swing up to the park from DC this week (either Tuesday or Friday) for the first time. Does anyone have a sense of how busy the park will be or how good early season ride operations are at the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It's spring break during the week so its a crap shoot, you just have to take your chances. Tuesday is probably a better chance of lower crowds, and while the weather can and will change by then, Tuesday is a high of 62 while Friday is only a high of 47 so your chances of rides being cranky/too cold is worse on Friday. I'd try to go Tuesday if I were you. You can expect most coasters to be open (obviously not Jersey Devil) but be warned many of the food stands will be closed so expect long lines for any type of food and drink. But go in with low expectations and you should have an OK time. They're generally pretty good about having the big dogs up and running for opening weekend/week but you shouldn't be surprised if rides are cranky because two of them are Intamins. They'll try to run them no matter what - they'll run Nitro when its 19 degrees so they don't give AF about that, but Toro does not like the cold.

YoshiFan Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 There is a large group at the park Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I went to the park the same day they were there years ago and it was one of the most crowded I have ever seen the park except Fright Fest on a Saturday. http://www.ncsygreatadventure.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would purchase a season pass, but I don't think it's wise for me to do so until reservation availability is confirmed for the specific date I'm looking at in June.
