Matt Kaiser Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) The annual GADV Online Day event, hosted by Great Adventure Online and Coaster Crew, was held on Saturday, Aug 22nd. Firstly, I'd like to thank all the Six Flags staff who helped make the event happen. Jason, Dory, John Slawson, Sam, Mark, Amy & the Nitro crew, and many more all deserve a round of applause! We had first-in-line for Batman Backwards, catered lunch, reserved seating for Brad Ross, Exclusive Ride Time on Nitro, and an outstanding tour. Our lead tour guide, John Slawson, completely blew us out of the water with the tour. Normally, they cap tours at 20-25 people each and visit ~2-3 rides per tour in roughly an hour and a half. We had a little over 40 people on one tour that lasted over 3 and a half hours, and we visited.... NITRO, BATMAN, HOUDINI, SUPERMAN, GREEN LANTERN, KINGDA KA/ZUMANJARO, the BABOONS, and BIZARRO! That's right! ALL FIVE B&M coasters, 2 Intamins, a Vekoma, and a mammal! Pictures! Below are just a few. Here's the entire album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154317782349460.1073741834.44341119459 We had a check-in table outside security. Around 10am, we were escorted through our own metal detector and into the park through a side gate through Catering Grove. Starting the day with a tour briefing in the Xploratorium. There's some historical items in there! The Dead Man's Party stage starting to pop-up Nitro tour time! Please secure all loose articles! Inside Superman's maintenance building! We went into Kingda Ka's computer/electrical room, behind the hydraulic motor room. There's a broken sensor preventing the fire from getting the "OK" signal to fire Wait, did the stage fall over? Prizes!! Everyone who attended got something! Thanks to the park for providing the Holiday in the Park ornaments and Exit Passes! Our reserved seating for Brad Ross' Unbelievable magic show! The lights go up so far!! They're not skimping out on lights here! Soon..... (like really soon....) monday That's all! Thanks to everyone who attended, planned, and worked the event!
