I never done one before but I think an escape room can be a good fit if it is reasonably priced and can incorporate different themes and stories for different holidays. I'd say a price of between $5 and $10 per person is good and cheaper than most escape rooms and possible as the park has been lowering the prices of their upcharge attractions but they could raise the price if it's popular. The escape room in Cherry Hill I heard is pretty expensive and costs $30 per person do do one room.

John Winkler actually used to work at the park between 2001 and 2008 as a co-general manager and director of in-park revenue.

I say $30 is reasonable for an all season locker pass as it costs less than the cost of 4 all day passes.

So does this means SFNE's park president, John Winkler will go to Great Adventure while Neal Thurman goes to Magic Mountain?

I want to see them on all major coasters. Single rider lines are also good for marathoning rides if crowds are higher than normal.

I don't want to see Dorney get another hand me down coaster even though Kanoenen is a good ride. Hopefully they put in a GCI or an RMC coaster, possibly a Raptor.

They removed the cup holders at the entrance to The Dark Knight and you can now bring them into the station.

I'd go for the locker pass especially with the policies on El Toro and Kingda Ka. I wouldn't use or need valet parking as we like to park far from other cars in the lots.

When I was at Hersheypark there was a store towards the front of the park that was selling mostly DC Super Hero merchandise and barely any Hershey Company products.

I found out that Storybook Land was open today. I believe there was also an ACE event there.

If it was colder and the snow sticked on the ground then we could do one in the parking lot. 

The current banners are ads about buying a season pass and they're rather ugly. I'd like to see them add more colorful banners instead.

The park was dead on Friday. The only lines were for Superman, the Skyride, Justice League, and the restaurants with indoor seating. The Spirit of the Season show was decent but was kind of like a Christmas version of Dead Man's Party.

Iron

Macy's Parade or Dunkin Donuts Parade?

and you still have to wait in long lines and get crappy service

Most Walmart Supercenters have around 50 registers and only open about 5 of them at the most. The one nearest to me actually replaced half their registers with self service ones that seem to break a lot.

I guess Gillian's could be planning on building a larger attraction if they're removing their largest coaster. Unfortunately they don't have a lot of space as it's right next to their Ferris wheel which I don't see being removed.

I was at the park too. The park was so dead that they didn't even sell Flash Passes. There was also no ride greeter checking for phones or keys at Kingda Ka. The only ride greeter I saw was on El Toro ans they didn't check for phones either. I also feel that it's always the same ride op on Nitro that warns riders about the phones.

Frontier Adventures was closed yesterday for unknown reasons, possibly because of staffing. I also got 24 rides on El Toro yesterday too.

I'm guessing it might be part of Joy to the World. I know the Showcase Theater was part of that section.

Digital machines with over a hundred drink combinations.  The Coca Cola Freestyle is at GADV and can be found by the Big Wheel.

The Pepsi Spire is I believe Pepsi's take on the Coca Cola Freestyle. Hersheypark has a few of them at one at the Founder's Place restaurant.

Coca Cola Freestyles or Pepsi Spire?

I say Coca Cola Freestyle. Never used a Pepsi Spire.

Mello Yello or Mountain Dew?

the crowds at SFGA on Saturday were ridiculous - I can imagine the line was that long

The final weekend of Fright Fest is usually the busiest weekend of the season. Luckily the Green Lantern line that's two hours long wasn't as long as some lines at Cedar Point during Halloweekends. I watched a video that showed the park during the event and Raptor had almost a 4 hour wait.

Right Twix (I don't really care but I love the candy bar...lol)

 

Diet Coke

Coca Cola Zero Sugar (new)

 

 

Never tried Coca Cola Zero Sugar and it seems redundant so I say Diet Coke.

Hershey or Mars?

I feel like Bizarro runs better with only 2 trains since there is less time sitting on the brake run outside the station. It seems like it's almost impossible not stack at all with only 2 people checking the restraints.

But Nitro runs all three trains and rarely stacks; the only time they do is when they want to fit in a larger rider. I guess the stacking has to do with the restraints and whoever in working.

That Halloween day this year is going to be coldest day of the week. Seems like the last few years, Halloweens have been cooler than usually. It will warm up again but it stinks Halloween is in a cool snap again this year. 

At least it's always sunny on Halloween.

My friend said it was the most crowded he's ever seen it.  Hurricane Harbor's parking lot was almost full, that's when you know it's crowded.

I wonder if they start turning away guests because of the crowds.
