How are the lines for the season pass holder event? I'd imagine a lot of guests have season passes, but it sounds like everyone who has ridden JDC got several re-rides in. 

We are here now, and there's a decent amount of people here. (More than I was expecting!)

Haven't been over to JDC yet though. 

And the Twitter feed

Any thoughts on this? My first thought was an announcement about JD, but the Facebook comments said that on Twitter they confirmed its not. (I'm going to go look now lol) 

We are going to try and go tomorrow. I'm hoping it won't be busy due to the fact it's before Thanksgiving and the weather isn't looking great.

Thoughts? 

I'm just curious if anyone has gone yet. Tomorrow is the last day of our vacation, and I'm seriously debating on going. 

We've been hunkered down since the end of March, and have only gone out for groceries and work. (And our trip to the safari lol) On one hand, I'm afraid to; and on the other I think we'd be on due to all the precautions. 

And, does anyone know how the "upgrade" for the memberships work? We are currently platinum, and *should* be upgraded to diamond due to the closures and not cancelling our memberships. Is it automatic? 

We went today, and it was great to drive through again!! Our reservations were at 3, and we had a BLAST. My *only* complaint was the staff was trying to break everyone into two lanes of traffic at each of the checkpoints...and then everyone went back to 1 lane and then you had those who would weave from one side to another holding up traffic. One car was REALLY bad-almost hit me and the car in front of me, and the staff actually pulled them aside twice, and then finally escorted them the rest of the way out. I had to laugh and could only think that the folks never drove through the old safari lol.

My kids had an up close biology lesson with the giraffes, and my oldest some got a few really good photos through the dirty windows.

Finally got a reservation!  

I can't even get into the reservation site any longer. 

Omg. These reservations are a joke lol. 

The site immediately crashed, and is still down. The comments on the GA Facebook page are insane. 

I wonder if this will be a separate charge or if memberships/passes will be used.

My kids didn't believe me that we used to do this all the time!

I just saw this browsing through Facebook. I'd love to know more on how many people are allowed in at once, and the split between members/pass holders and the general public.

Years ago in the old Hayride into the Unknown, they used to have the Jersey Devil attack the hayride wagon. I mss those hayrides.

Me, too. They were fun!

Congo Rapids is staying!

 

I think we will see ED sometime soon!

I'm so going to start calling him Ed.

Do we know if this ride would be open for Holiday in the Park? It is on the side of the park that stays open for HITP, so I’m assuming yes.

I guess it depends on the specs for the running temps.

I know Congo needs a lot of TLC, but I'm glad it's staying. It's one of the few rides I can still ride after my surgery.

It will be located along the lakefront near Safari Kids and Congo Rapids.

So... Congo Rapids is staying?

Also, any ideas where our friendly El Diablo, errr I mean Jersey Devil statue is going?

I got the same one but I thought  it was more about long hair on men. it had lots of example pictures with men with buns and different styles of pony tales.

My survery ended abruptly after I said the guy with the dreads in a ponytail didn't bother me. 

I'm only concerned about hair; male or female; if they are in food service. (Follow the guidelines-hair net, pulled back, etc) Otherwise, don't really care.

Don't worry, its not broken..  It's because the asphalt was getting to sticky, so there fixing that.. And if you saw a crane there, which I did, they are just checking it out while they fix the asphalt. I know this because I asked I would say at least 13 park employees.. Some security, just the main staff, and the flash pass people told me. Although I had one than more source inform me about the situation, there just employees and not "why Wonder Woman : Lasso of Truth at SFGADV has its walls and cranes around it" experts. That is what they told me.. And also considering the fact that more than 10 employees told me the same thing,

I *still* have sticky asphalt on the bottom of my sneakers from our trip on Saturday. It was really really bad. I'm glad they are fixing it.

June 28th is the "Calypso Springs Launch Party" / Member Appreciation Event.

The description says "Be the first to relax and enjoy the all new Calypso Springs with exclusive access before it's open to the public! Enjoy specialty beverages and collect your Calypso Springs pin."

 

That's fast approaching, and they haven't created the Facebook event or released the schedule yet, so we'll see if that's still on track.

Thanks!

I know that Calyspo Springs is opening soon. At the Wonder Woman event, they the date listed on the slideshow playing while promoting the new pins.

Anyone know if that is the 28th (same as the member appreciation day) or the 21st?

 That is a path from the front gate to the Safari. It’s needed because there’s no easy way to tell guests how to get there given how many dead ends and roadblocks we have in the park   

Thank you! 

Really random question...but what is the blue painted line on the ground (mostly down the main thoroughfare through the frontier)?

We've noticed it before, but they look freshly painted.

I have no idea when Wonder Woman will actually open, but last Sunday it was testing all day long.

And I have to say, it looks amazing.

Now Wonder Woman member preview might on this Friday, but the ride won't open on this Saturday, the ride will might open on Memorial Day on Monday I think.

Exclusive character meet-n-greets? You mean will there be return of DC Comics Superheroes characters to the park such as Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Supergirl, the Flash and Green Lantern?

We are here, and so far it's cosplayers from the Comic event.

I would change the name of Bizarro to Copperhead, and re-theme it to fit the western motif of the surrounding area.  Replace the buildings in the middle of the coaster with some frontier-style buildings, and maybe add some giant cacti for the coaster to shoot past.  Change the track color to earth tones, similar to a copperhead snake, and give the cars a snakeskin pattern paint job.  

That's basically what the old coaster Viper and it's queue looked like. Check out the photos on the rollercoaster page.
