never liked this type of ride. I love the airtime, but hate the bottom of the "swing". Do they have reliability issues?

I know nobody wants a prototype, but i think with improved designs and past experiences, we could get something nice. A 1st of something is an easier goal to reach than breaking records. People like unique coasters. I doubt people will come for the most inversions, theyre more interested in height and speed. Thats why kingda ka is still popular.

_{What abouts records? Do you think our park is due for a new record breaker? Would Six Flags invest in Great Adventure enough for that to happen? Right now we're still good but the future might be a lil different.}

i was a little disappointed with this ride but then i really thought about it. What 4d coaster do we have in our area? think about how far you would have to travel to experience this type of ride.

at first i thought the rails looked too big until i saw the pic with the guy...

i wonder how do they update the times? I know at disney, they hand random poeple tickets that they hand off at the station.

There's a lot of work going on along the lakefront, is there any work in old country? I can't see them working in both areas. Even though i would love to see old country revived, that can sit idle another season or two. Grandstand was in bad shape.

So is Batman closed for a while? Im going to Great Adventure online day on saturday and Batman is our morning ERT.

still not working for me... there are 175 photos

i tried ctrl and shift but it doesnt work...

About adding pics. I can only add 1 at a time?

Went there today. I loved it so much that i'm getting a dining plan next year. I got a cheeseburger with everything on it... It was delicious! Nachos, nacho cheese, salsa, and guacamole! I also tried La Cantina, the attached bar. It was also good.

Quick unrelated question. I am starting a new post. How do I add pics to the post? I have a lot to add.

I know on Saturday at Six Flags New England, Hurricane Harbor was mobbed. My wife and I went in around 3pm to relax. I was planning on staying at the park all day. I was there for an ACE event. Walked in and it was like being herded out of a cattle truck. Wall to wall people. I have never seen a water park so crowded. We just turned around and left the water park. We ended up leaving around 7pm because I found out that the evening ERT was going to include season pass holders and were the same rides we had that morning.

I've been meaning to post a trip report during COASTER CON. I learned a lot of cool things about our park that i need to share. Also took lots of good "behind the scenes" pictures.

I wonder if the swings are still in storage? I thought they were gonna refurbish them? Traditional swings are always a favorite.

might go friday and check it out. Probably going to make me sick

Large coaster would be awesome but the park doesn't have the infrastructure to support that. The park needs more flat rides, attractions, shows, repaved parking lot, and Better security (although it seems better than it was). Do you build the coaster crowds will come for 1st? Or do you build a park that can handle the crowds better, then build the coaster?

2009-2010? Wow! Has it really been that long?

I heard the music lineup from that show in movietown last week.

I might go on friday. I went one time for the 4th of July but that was during the saturday night lights. Do they do "rock loves" every 4th? I have never seen the park so busy and leaving was a nightmare!

I've been on over 100 coasters and see how similar a lot of them are. Some rides are almost exactly the same. I loved Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens VA. While on it, I told my wife, "this is nitro". Same type of trains too! There are small differences but it's basically the same. I feel the more unique rides, the more a park becomes a destination. Being a huge roller coaster enthusiast, I look for "one of a kind" rides and will go to those parks just for that. Like the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. Small park, not a lot of coasters, but they're all unique.

Haha. I just joined that group. People complaining about it, it must be fun!

Yeah, i miss the old El Toro lift. I thought it used to be faster but wasn't sure. When did they change it and what was it doing to the ride?

It was a nice path from Kingda Ka to El Toro. I get mad eveytime I see this path closed. Just like the old paintball building blocking Dream Street.

was anybody on the ride when it happened?

OH NO!! Major disappointment for coaster con if Kingda Ka is down. I will be attending Coaster Con and was wondering if i was to park in the main lot, go into park, then go over to Hurricane Harbor, I can take the shuttle, but how would re-entry work? I assume i can use my season pass to get into Hurricane Harbor but i thought season passes could not be used for re-entry. That you need a wrist stamp. Wouldn't the wrist stamp wash off in the water? I have never done this before.

I still haven't gone yet! Still need to buy my season pass also! The last 2 seasons, i've been slacking. I just have plans every weekend and thats really the only time i can go. Hopefully I can buy the season pass during the week and go after work sometime since my job is only like 10 min from the park. I live about an hour away. Last year i only went about 10 times. Normally I go 25+ times!
