July 7-14 New Jersey Trip.. (Questions)

[goliathfan]

Hey guys I am new here. First off I wanna say this is such a terrific forum. I just have a few questions regarding my trip to new jersey this summer.

 

1) I will be staying in Atlantic City for 6 days from july 7th to the 13th. Does anybody know any hotels with fair prices. Maximum average of 100 bucks a day? Preferably near the boardwalk but a couple miles away will also do.

 

2) Obviously I'm looking to attend six flags great adventure. We will be 3. Two of us will use La Ronde's season pass to get in. How much does the park admission cost? Is it better if the other person buys the season pass from gadv?

 

3) How much does the fast pass cost?

 

4) Which day should I go? I dont like huge crowds but dead crowds are boring.

 

5) If I plan on hitting all the big coasters, which order should I ride them to get them done as soon as possible?

 

6) Anybody know any good food places in sfgadv? What should I order? I heard New Jersey has awesome Pizza?

 

Thanks in advance for all in the info guys, you're the best!

For hotels, check Orbitz or Travelocity or one of those. There are lots of hotels in the AC area, many of which are affordable.

Best bet is to buy a ticket online from the park's website: http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/TicketInfo/index.html

There are no dead days in July unless it's pouring rain. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best Summer days to go.

Kingda Ka 1st, then everything else. If you're using Flash Pass it shouldn't make much difference.

 

6) Anybody know any good food places in sfgadv? What should I order? I heard New Jersey has awesome Pizza?

 

Best food IN the park is Bets of the West, but all the food things are in the process of changing this season so the food options are changing.

 

Jersey does have awesome pizza...do you like thin crust or thick crust? If you like thin crust, about 15 miles north/east on Route 537 (the road the park is on), there is a great place in downtown Freehold called Federici's which has great pizza.
