Its funny how we say Joker and Twisted Cyclone are the latest and worst RMC's, yet they look like they will still give/do give amazing rides. Yes, Twisted Cyclone looks very short. However, if we were to get a rollercoaster like that, I wouldn't complain because that short ride time would still be enjoyable.

You guys should also remember that Great Escape's Skyride doesn't have enclosed cabins like Great Adventure does. I feel like everyone is making "what if this happens or this happens" statements when I feel like there isn't any remote sign the park has a reason to remove the Skyride. Even just in the past few years, they have started using both sides more regularly, with both sides having a line constantly. There ARE signs that the park is expanding the Old Country area once again. I imagine the next few additions to the park will be in that area. One thing that MAY be on the chopping block is the Stunt Arena. However, that's also questionable because they just moved Dead Man's Party into the Stunt Arena and I feel that was a smart move. Hopefully, if the Old Country area is filled with more rides in the next few years, maybe Showcase and the Arena will eventually have shows year round. That's what I hope 2019 brings is something more to that area.

It was demolished, not remodeled

Haven't been to many closings. Rode Rolling Thunder during its last week of operation which was bittersweet. I have been to a handful of ride openings though, including Zumanjaro (out of luck) and the first day Medusa reopened as Bizarro.

When I rode, the cars were constantly moving through the station slowly and didn't stop; it was basically how you board the Dark Knight.

What I do can pretty much guarantee you may get in trouble, but I've yet to have to pay for a locker and I've been to the park almost 10 times this season while riding El Toro and Kingda Ka almost every visit. Normally, my friends and I will hide our phones/wallets in our clothes and take them out once we pass the entrance. Its always worked since we've never been pat down.. I always wear shorts with buttons so im never endangering people. But thats my trick.. If you do or don't approve of it, that's a different convo to be had lol.

For Fright Fest, they use that building for the Clown maze. However, it would be interesting if an old Old Country building could be re purposed for a museum.

I know this is off topic, but considering how popular Mr. Freeze still is at St. Louis and Over Texas, that doesn't surprise me.

The park map was updated on the website. Justice League is included, as well as the shortcut through Old Country (even though that was only open sporadically throughout last season). Also, no shortcut between Plaza Del Carnaval and the Golden Kingdom. https://static.sixflags.com/website/files/sfgad_park-map.pdf

I regret always walking by The Chiller as a kid and never having the guts to ride it. Really wish I had been able to experience it.

I'm interested to see what buildings in the area are spruced up - especially how the observatory is incorporated - considering how abandoned the area has been the past few years.

All the BBNP rides are back up on the park's website. So there is your answer lol.

The problems with Zumanjaro not opening on time and not being able to run with Kingda Ka stem from problems with the state. I think the park working with Intamin again is a prety good chance lol

Anybody know what has been up with Skull Mountain lately? During the ride, its pitch black but the music doesn't play and none of the effects are lit up. Surprising how much more fun the ride is with the music.

To add to a looooong list of why the banning of Cell Phones in parks will never happen, I would be extremely annoyed not being able to take pictures. When I go to new parks I've never visited, I enjoy taking pictures of everything.

I've followed the Great Adventure thread on ThemeParkReview and Coastrbill's posts are always amazing.

I noticed that, this past summer, I ended up riding Congo Rapids a lot more often than Sawmill Log Flume due to how hot it was. even though sometimes I barely got wet, the lines were never really long and I enjoyed getting absolutely soaked on 100+ degree days.

I've had an express pass for Fright Fest the past 3 years and never had this problem. Lines always moved wayy quicker in the Express Line

Never enough Troikas.

Im curious to see where the entrance for this is going to go. Will they reopen Old Country completely or have the entrance towards the end of Movietown, behind Dark Knight?

I hear the ride was perfectly smooth with the old trains, too.

I did notice a lot of their operations were slow and some unfriendly. Mainly were only unfriendly if you didn't follow their instructions to sit in whichever row on whichever ride.
