I wonder how they're going to rework the area for the entrance.

Thank you!

I think D19 is Shockwave?

They're cute! I haven't been on the safari since 2015. Do the trucks go through the monkey area at all? I recall that they didn't the last time I rode it.

You have to understand it's a new virus. They're still learning a lot of things about it such as its tendency to spread, its symptoms, who it affects, and treatment. Viruses like swine flu infected 61 million people and they were still able to eventually contain it. Once there's a definite cure and a vaccine for the coronavirus, cases will go down. Will it affect Six Flags? Probably. But it won't forever. You really just have to wait until we reach that point though.

We all have to just wait and see. There's nothing more we can do. https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus-resource-center

You'll eventually see pictures and such about The Jersey Devil. It's not like it's going anywhere. If it's postponed, at least it's better than it never happening, right? I'm sad things are canceling on me too, but it's not like there's anything to be done except wait until the virus is no longer a threat to the public. I'd rather have to wait for something than potentially get very sick and potentially transmit a virus to people who can't fight it off like I probably can. Everything will happen with time.

While the word is not official yet, it looks that my college will be closing at least temporarily for the Coronavirus. We just got back from spring break this week, so I think it's ridiculous that they're making us go right back home. They should have just made the decision last week. I'm not really scared of the virus per se, but I would prefer not having to get back on a plane or a train.

Not necessarily. Some people who get the coronavirus don't even display symptoms. You're even less likely to die. For people over 50 years of age with immunodeficiencies or other health problems, the death rate is about 3.4% (But that's also a 94.6% survival rate, be positive!) And for people who are younger than 50 with no health problems, the death rate is a mere 0.2%. If you get sick, your doctor will take care of you. Wash your hands, don't touch your face, and look the other way if someone sneezes. And no, not everyone will be affected by this pandemic. Just try to remain calm. I just went to WDW last week three times and I'm perfectly fine. Generally people, other than some select cases, are following quarantine orders and staying out of the public sphere. When you go to Six Flags, just make sure you make use of the sanitizing stations.

According to MIT review, a vaccine for COVID-19 will take about 18 months to produce, though I'm seeing some other projected timelines for the end of 2020. If the virus is going to go away, it's not going to be going away due to the vaccine by summertime. As long as people follow healthy hygiene habits and go into quarantine as required, it will hopefully stop spreading. That being said, I'm glad Six Flags is taking it seriously and is taking precautions. I also appreciate that they'll let employees stay home if they're sick.

Obviously we all love going to Great Adventure, but is it an enjoyable experience to work there? I've always wondered, especially regarding ride operations.

I always love reading the Great ADVENTure calendar, but boy, I was not ready for the music! I have my earphones in and clicked on the link. Lesson learned about volume up on my PC. For the record though, great wishes this year so far!

It's almost Turkey Day

I'm surprised they haven't taken down the Koala Canyon bathrooms, as it seems like it's in the way of construction. I wonder if they'll remain?

For some reason on Google Maps, if you hover over Granny's House, it is designated as a Church. There's also this review that I found pretty funny:

After the removal of Riptide, I'm surprised that they didn't try to make the connection between the two halves less awkward. The only reason for the bridge was Riptide, so I'm surprised once it was gone they didn't look to make the walking path easier.

Thanks, @29yrswithaGApass. I wonder if it will remain there after the coaster has been built.

Are you able to see anything from the Seaport bridge?

Thanks!

Do the black/red/orange/blue tags under peoples names have significance?

I think many of us on here are too old to be out trick or treating, lol. My local ordinance says you can't trick or treat if you're over 12 years old. My college will be hosting a Halloween party this coming weekend though, that'll be fun .

I love Christmas ❤ But I just decorated for Halloween today.
