The horn wasn't working on the Dark Knight? The first time we rode it (around opening day), half of the effects weren't working. I was sorely disappointed. We were there on 8/15...and it seemed like alp the effects were working. The last effect - the clowns driving the truck was working. It lit up, the horn blew, and then the truck tipped forward.

So then, more closed circles or loops. All I can think of is the crappy Ring of Fire row that comes every year with our local carnival lol

A dragon themed ride in the Golden kingdom (what used to be called Balin's), some sort of super dragon looper, backwards batman. What I really can't figure out is the bottom left photo in the newest clue.

And, sadly, it took me a few minutes to get Namtab...

That's funny. We were at HH on Sunday...and a group of teens got in trouble and were escorted off of the lazy river for bringing their souvenir cups onto it.

I'm going to sound clueless here...but they would just switch the cars around on Batman so the riders face backwards? While that sounds like fun (Batman is my favorite)...but it seems rather dull to be a major announcement.

I just got an email that says stay tuned for a big announcement on 8/28. Wonder what it is? From the email:Display images to see great pictures of the park! On Thursday, August 28, we’re making a big announcement, and we promise it’s going to be amazing. Check for a special newsletter that day with all the exclusive details about what’s ahead. Plus, check our Facebook page early if you want a few clues! We can’t reveal the surprise yet, but we can tell you that it’s going to be no exception to all the great surprises and thrills we’ve brought you over the years. Stay tuned and keep guessing

In regards with Hurricane Harbor...how often do they do the drills in the wave pool? We've gone 4 times so far this year...2 Sundays, 1 Thursday, and 1 Monday. And each time we were there...it seemed they did a drill around 1:30, reopened the pool around 2, then around 3/3:30 they did another drill. Yesterday we were there...and they were emptying the pool of guests every 30 minutes to do the training drills. I totally get the need for safety...but with 3 little kids, they totally didn't understand why we had to keep getting in and out. Just curious.

Have any of you been to Sesame Place recently? It's a park solely themed for children. And I feel much safer at GA then I did there. You want to see line cutting and really nasty people (attitude wise)-go there.

That's any park though. We had season passes for Sesame Place for years...and I can't tell you how many times I saw police there for fights, theft, etc. I was on a marching band trip to Disney World when one of the band parents were robbed IN Magic Kingdom. Sadly it happens.

Harry, the museum is great!!! The RT cars made me kind of sad :-(

We will be checking it out on Thursday!! Just look for the nut dragging 5 kids and her husband with her!

During the week is much less crowded than weekends.

Thank you!

I got the email for the bring a friend free days in July. Can you use that at Hurricane Harbor or only Great Adventure? And, it's one "friend" per pass, correct?

Man, I apologize for my picture *still* showing upside down. I assure you, I wasn't standing on my head lol I also have a video from HH parking lot, but no clue how to get it here. And from watching it...it looked like they would run Ka, then do a few drops. While I wasn't watching it constantly, I never saw them go at the same time. This is the video I got (sorry it's poor quality, it was from my cell phone) from the parking lot of HH. And my 3 little ones were whiny and exhausted lol

Are they filming Zumanjaro today? I'm sitting in the wave pool at HH...and a big black helicopter keeps circling around :-) I've gotta great pic of the copter filming, but alas, I can't figure out how to post it from my phone :-(

Am I the only one who doesn't care for the route the trucks go through the safari on now? I know it's now considered a "ride", but I miss the days of spending an hour or two leisurely going through the safari ;-) Though I don't miss the mess the monkeys always left on my car lol

I wish there was something like Splash Water Falls (Movietown Water Effects). I get why they removed most of the water areas, but they need something for those hot days.

I had to laugh a little at the HH guests parking ability ;-) When we went last Sunday...the parking was awful. That has to be the worst lot-exiting traffic had to go in front if the exit of the park. We sat for nearly a half hour just to get past the entranceway of the park.

3 of us never have an issue and got through the scan quickly. However, my 5 year old daughter's never worked. Our trip last Sunday included her meal plan being denied twice (the manager overrode it as her picture is on her pass and she was obviously with us). They told us to go back to the pass processing center. While there, it was explained to me that they are now recommending children 5 and under to just get a picture pass (which we already have anyway as we got them in October), and the pass will be set up to bypass the biometrics. It still needs to be scanned to show park entry however. Just no finger scan.

Is it bad that I am incredibly excited simply about the possibility of that area opening back up? :-D
