Meteornotes Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Awesome report. Still seems like a low amount of food for you. Hope it didn't cause any long term health issues. Â dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Idiot God Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Dude... how could you even stomach those nachos? The "cheese" looks like something you'd get out of a lanced boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deguy123 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Those pictures are great of Great Adventure and it's just reminding me how mad I was for not doing the add-on after the NorthEast Trip! The park has been looking good for years now after some horrible years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Awesome report. Still seems like a low amount of food for you. Hope it didn't cause any long term health issues.  dt  Just wait for the Knoebel's pics.  El Toro is definitely completely insane. I only lasted a couple rides during ERT and I just couldn't do it anymore. I thought Great Adventure really put a great effort into our visit. I remember one of the security guards was talking to a couple of us about turning the lights off for El Toro ERT and saying that they would do anything they could for TPR. It definitely was an exhausting, but amazing day! Looking forward to the rest of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sspaz1000 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Now I just randomly want to drive up to Great Adventure cause I can. I need me some El Toro. Not sure if I'll get to it before LeviaTHON or not. Â But great update Joey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Next update coming up soon. However, I forgot to post this video. I had never seen this before this park, but it's the oddest way to do an all-clear. Every ride op was required to do it. I understand why they do it, but it looks really dumb. Although, it was a lot of fun to make fun of for the rest of the trip! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 It's finally here! The next update! I took a last minute vacation the past week and a half and am finally back. After SFGA we drove to Snooki's state of New Jersey! We arrived at Atlantic City really really late. I think it was about 1-2 am. We had to get up really early for the next park so naturally we did what any sane person would do, we gambled and ate until about 4-5 am! Piers ended up winning about $80 on Let's Make a Deal, and I got about $40. The rooms were really really nice! We had an incredible view and it was amazing. We went to Morey's Piers for the day and got a few credits, saw a few wannabe Snookis and Situations, ate a ton, and had a surprise credit that evening on Hellcat at Clementon Amusement Park. We had an incredibly amazing and exhausting day in Guidoville! Here is the view from our hotel! Great accommodations! We passed on the three eyed fishing add-on. Back at home in Reno this place would have a completely different clientele, but then again, this is New Jersey so maybe not. Walking toward the pier! That's a pretty long pier! This is the one of the three piers they have as part of Morey's Piers. They cram so much stuff on it it makes Santa Monica look like a children's fairs. Checking in for our wristbands and free chapstick! (I see a legacy shirt from my first trip, Deep South 2009!) Piers at Piers! Not too many of these in the US. The needle, beer bottle, and condom filled beach and one of the other piers. It was a pretty far walk between them. Home of the National Marbles Championship! LOL! Can't go wrong with a shark! Or coke! The Ignis Fatuus Ghost Ship was amazing! We got a special tour of it as well. Don't jump! (I know, terrible) Catherine approves! Just floating along. Piers does his celebrity pose. Can you tell Amy's a little tired? These honestly looked like a bag of castrated 'manhoods.' He was a little scared. If this was a lot higher I would totally have done it. Sexy new trains for the SLC! Will these save an otherwise terribly painful ride? Can't say you weren't warned! All ready for some ERT on shiny new trains! We're good. We rather take our chances with cigarettes than ride on that death machine! Up and over. Bye Amy, you're going to die! Laura's got the "Oh yeah, give it me" loves pain look. You know you're a professional when you can get great POV's of Vekoma's! Hi Laura! If you want to keep your head. Not an ACE friendly ride. I think I can see a gravy stain on the guys shirt. Hairtime! This is it's name. No, seriously. It's name is "It!" It's right up there with "Didja" from our ghetto cruise. They are enjoying IT. Any grandma who takes their grandkids to an amusement park and wears bunny ears is awesome. "It" in all it's glory. "It" is even Brazilian approved. Just waiting for this palace of fine dinning to open! We got in a little credit while we waited. Deep fried Oreos are one of my favorites. The deep fried strawberries were really good. Like a bite sized version of a funnel cake with strawberry. The deep fried PBJ & Banana was amazing! You ride these cars just like Matterhorn...Oh wait, never mind. The lunch included two huge slices of pizza. But the slices weren't big enough for me so I got some shrimp, wings, and calamari. Now those are some quality prizes! Awesome! We got a welcome sign! I love these older type coasters. We took the skyway to get a nice view of all the piers. I swear Boomerangs were made to torment us credit coaster nerds. The beach and the neighborhood. Great location for a woodie! Looking back at the 'first' pier. Next up was our special tour of Ghost ship! Yes! They are allowed to touch you! Very few places in the US allow this. I have no clue why They have some great locations to pop out of! Ahhhhh! Zombies! Funny how much they just blend in with our group. Eric was really scared to death. He was just closing his eyes to keep the tears back and pretended to look at his camera so no one would notice. Even with the lights on they were able to get some good scares in. It looks like a room from The Walking Dead. Where the makeup is done. Extreme closeup of TPDave! Looks can be deceiving. It's never too early to teach a child how to kill a terrorist! Next up is the woodie credit! Awesome name and theme! All ready to get the credit! No one can ride a coaster in style like Piers. The Chris's's are still going at it. A ride like this definitely makes you proud to be an American. You think? What the hell are we doing? The girl in the pink has the appropriate Boomerang riding face. James got his hand stuck in the up position. Normally this would be ok, but on a boomerang your hand will get ripped off and you will break your knock by not being able to hold on. I think Satan is riding behind David. You enjoy your rides on the boomerang, I'll have some more fried Oreos. Next up was dinner and Hellcat for a surprise credit, although I'm a little scared. The girl in the back is thinking, "so this is what coaster nerds look like." And away they go! Hallcat was a really fun ride! Airtime! Wow, I guess that was some ride for the first two! Elissa has the, "You are all stupid and going to die so I'll just stay safely here" look. Oxidizer is for when the ride isn't rusting fast enough. Martin, Cheryl, and Chris love the ride. The others, not so much! They are just a little bit scared. Hot dogs and hamburgers are always a good thing. Dinner! We got to sneak into the infield! This bolt is the very center of the ride. It just is. Accept it. This is the moment the girl realized she's dating a complete baby, and not the tough redneck she thought he was. It has some decent speed through these turns. More satisfied customers. KidTums is giving Piers his "I Freakin' Love Minnie's Boutique" tattoo. And that's the end of another incredible day! Next up is a massive update from Knoebel's!

beatle11 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It's about freaking time!!! Â Thanks for sharing Joey. I didn't think the Boomerang was all that bad, and neither was Hellcat. Thumbs up for bonus credits. I had the deep fried Oreos a few days before at Coney Island and they were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmerleeberry Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Wow, thanks for the photo TR on Morey's Piers and even one on Hellcat at Clementon Park. Here are my thoughs and comments. Â 1) Not too many Condor rides - You're right on that and it's a pity because this is always one awesome ride. I know of only two other parks that has these ride: Hersheypark and Six Flags Great America. Â 2) On that small coaster next to the Doo Wop (the red tracked Mad Mouse coaster), please no disrespect on the Flitzer. It may be a small coaster, but it can pack a lot of thrills like the giant-sized coaster. I wish more parks had this type of coaster. Â 3)I love Rollies coaster (and any other coaster of its type). What was exciting about that photo was that there wasn't anyone in line - you can just walk up to it and ride until your heart says "enough!" Â 4)Good for you to get the VIP tour of Ghost Ship. One time through it was enough for me! Â 5)I wish I could have rode "IT", but "IT" couldn't fit me inside those skinny wink seats. I blame my big chest for this. Â 6) I was at both Morey's Piers and Clementon Park last year. Although I had fun at Morey's Piers, Clementon Park didn't have enough to satisfy me and warrant a revisit. I felt it was missing a small family coaster, a dark ride attraction, and bumper cars. Plus, on the day of my visit, the log flume was down, which added to fact that I didn't enjoy my time there. But Hellcat is still one awesome coaster, but I could only handle just two rides on it. Â Well, have fun at Knoebles and don't forget to play "Fascination" and "Pokereno" while you're there. Â "There's a game I wish you would play: it's called 'Going to Bed'!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 How are the new Vekoma SLC trains? Â They've similar new trains for sitdown coasters. I've ridden one on the Boomerang at Walibi Holland and they're actually very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 ^^They're okay. It just kind of changes from a headbanging ride to a whole body banging ride. Realistically, that's more comfortable as you don't get an instant headache from it anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
