GAcoaster

Flash finally has gone vertical:

He was planning on purchasing one for Great Adventure History, I'm not sure if he did or not. I'd guess he did since he was planning it when they went on sale.

I wonder if those are the actual uniforms are were they just for the media event?

I know they SHOULD have more trains running on the coasters, but unless they purchase additional trains for some of them, there will have to be single train operations at some points with such a short off-season. They used to have 5 months of downtime, but since they started Holiday in the Park and chose to open earlier in the year than they used to, there just isn't enough downtime for the rebuilds/preventative maintenance. They SHOULD purchase additional trains for Superman and Batman so they each have two in operation with a third getting maintenance at all times (SFFT did this with their dive coaster), but not all parks have the budget for that, especially with Kingda Ka and El Toro eating up so much of the maintenance budget each year. We could have better operations (like Dorney) but have a season that runs May to October instead of March to January...

I saw someone said they placed the last track piece yesterday. This will be fairly quick to get up and running.

They seem to be one of the few things S&S makes that people (parks and guests) like.

I just saw that the new restaurant being added with Iron Menace is going to have fried Butterscotch Krimpets-- the most Pennsylvania thing ever...

While I am hopeful that Great Adventure's current park president is a good fit and lasts, I always hope that Jeff Seibert can make his way to Great Adventure as GM one day. He does so much great stuff with that park.

It was kind of disappointing here in Orlando-- we had ~70% coverage and it really wasn't much to see.

Yes, they'll still be holding media days, and the site should still receive invitations to them. I'm 1000 miles away so I may not be able to attend, but I'm hoping I can send someone to cover them for the website if I can't be there.

Apparently it happened as the park opened and they held guests at the Fountain. They quickly went over the rides to assure there was no damage and opened them as they completed inspections.

Thank you for posting, great to be able to see it all. It looks like many positive changes happening around the park-- progress, even if it's slow is still progress.

Very happy to learn the Roaring Rapids name is back this year and there is a suggestion that it may have received some needed TLC as well...

Very happy to see the Skyride was spared, at least for anther year. There were rumors it was being removed, but it is still listed on the 2024 maps that were just released.

Everything that exists here SHOULD be archived soon.
