SFGADV Passholder Night 9/23

[Sir Clinksalot]

Thanks everybody for the tips.

 

I think at this point we are pretty much going to SFGADV instead of BGW.

 

We would love to go to BGW, but that's ALOT of driving for a Friday night IMO.

 

Knoebels is the main park we are going to anyway. At least this way we will be semi-rested.

 

My main concern is the fact that SFGADV and Knoebels seem to be in the boonies, I'm just hoping we don't get lost.

^ Knoebels, Dorney and Great Adventure are all pretty easy to find. 2 out of three are right off the main Interstate, and Knoebels is really easy to get to.

 

// just be thankful you aren't going to Kennywood. I never realized how hard that park is to find until I tried to explaining it to someone.

[Sir Clinksalot]

^ Thanks.

 

Mark was actually nice enough to PM me specific directions to Knoebels so no worries.

 

Thanks again Mark! I owe you a Churro next time your in SoCal.

Here is the mail for Hershey so you have all the info:

 

JOIN US FOR RIDE FOR RELIEF 2

Friday, September 23

5 to 10 PM

 

HERSHEYPARK will open its gates on Friday, September 23 from 5 to 10 PM to host a very special fund-raising event to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

 

Admission $15 (ages 3+)*

Purchase tickets online

2 and under Free

Free Parking for this Special Event

Proceeds from the admission will be divided equally between the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

 

Ride for Relief 2 is the second fund-raising event sponsored by HERSHEYPARK. On September 29, 2001, Ride for Relief was held to benefit the victims of the September 11th tragedy. When we learned of the devastation following Hurricane Katrina, all of us at HERSHEYPARK felt that sponsoring a similar event would be the best way for us to assist our neighbors in the Gulf Coast Region.

 

Ride for Relief 2 will feature**:

 

- More than 50 rides, including all 10 roller coasters!

 

- Rescue vehicles, including the Life Lion helicopter from the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, will be on display in the MIDWAY AMERICA section of the Park. Guests will have the opportunity to view the equipment and learn more about how rescues happen after a natural disaster.

 

- Live musical performances by several groups, including Pentagon at HERSHEYPARK Amphitheatre.

 

- A sampling of Cajun foods including jambalaya and red beans and rice.

 

- The option to register to win a variety of prizes.

 

Please join us in person (or in spirit)!

This is SO cool!! I don't care how busy the park is that night, just the fact we get to go to Hershey is exciting!! We are getting our tickets online today so we don't have to worry about it on Friday. I think I will be breaking my diet this weekend!!

 

Kristi "thank you again Ted for the info!!!" C.

[Sir Clinksalot]

I just want to thank everyone again for all the help and advice that has been given. Even though we are not going to Six Flags now, maybe it will help someone else!

We will take lots of pictures of our trip and post them next week.

 

Kristi "can't wait til tomorrow!!" C.

You made the right choice guys. GAdv was pretty crowded tonight! Kingda Ka surprisingly didn't have that long of a line after the initial rush died down though..... . There is no way you would have been able to do it all in 5 hours. Like Mark predicted, Ka didn't even open until 6. After that it ran nearly perfect, except for a pair of 5-10 minute delays when it started to rain (Naturally, I was in the station both times )
