Another one for the rumor mill. This is rumored for Magic Mountain.

It looks like the parks are going to be rolling out some new member perks in response to the virus, with an option to either “pause” or “hold” your account while the park stays closed. Personally, I’m going to keep making payments. Triple points will make hitting the 5,000/10,000 point mark for free bring a friend tickets will be a lot easier. And 3 skip the line passes per visit would be a huge perk!

I’m here at Prospertown Lake, they just put up track for the dive loop!

2020 map just released to the park’s website!

One step closer to going vertical. Can't wait

Jersey Devil BBQ sounds really good! It’ll be nice to have a second BBQ restaurant on the opposite side of Best of the West. I wonder if they’ll have different/exclusive options to tie-in with JD.

I don't know how many times I've seen a ride have a long wait on the app only to walk up to it and see that there's no line! I've also seen the app go the other way around. It would be nice for wait times to be more consistent. It's also funny to see that El Diablo is still on the app's map and Wonder Woman isn't

I came across a Facebook post today that reminded me: yesterday marks 6 years since the closing of Rolling Thunder. I still miss it, my first coaster both in general and at GA! 🌩

PSA for anyone attending today’s Glow Run!

They were in pieces on the ground backstage near Nitro since they were removed. I think now they’re just throwing them away rather than have them continue to sit there broken lol

Utility crews spotted removing the hands from the old Chiller Observatory onto a flatbed near Nitro. I guess they’re finally getting rid of them for good.

Today at the park I saw Sky Screamer stopped 3 separate times for people using cell phones during the cycle. That ride seems to be one of the most susceptible to phones I guess because of the view.

The park uses Weather Bug to make most of their weather-related decisions. Right now, it’s showing no more than a 30% chance of rain in the evening.

Any big hockey fans? I’m dying to talk about the draft and the Subban trade for my Devils

I can’t say enough great things about Wonder Woman! I got my first 2 rides in today on a quick visit and not only is it great for filling such a valuable space in the park, but the ride is so intense and an awesome addition to our flat ride collection! GAdv really has a hit on its hands, can’t wait to ride WW again soon!

I think I see a ton of Wiggles World props and the Sea Planes! Thanks Flyin Phil, Awesome pictures!

Weather Bug isn’t calling for any rain Wednesday. That’s the app the park uses to make most weather-related decisions.

After my classes ended for the year at UD, I decided to come home for a few days before I have to go back for finals. I got in my car and was home and at the park by 2 that afternoon (glad that traffic wasn't too bad on the DE Memorial Bridge). The park wasn't too crowded, most crowds were schools participating in the Music in the Parks event. Had a great time and met up with a bunch of other enthusiasts for some rides. I was at the park during the power surge, and was next in line with some friends for JL. The building went dark for about 3 seconds and then the ride began to reboot itself. Until we got out of the line to get some snacks, we had no idea that this power surge effected the entire park! We were glad not to be on a coaster and to not have to go through the hassle of an evac! After that, we walked around and got a ton of rides, with El Toro hauling. Great visit, and I'm going back for more this weekend! Hopefully I'll get to a wider variety of rides today (5/18/19)! Final Ride Count: JLBFM 2x BTR 1x Nitro 2x Sky Screamer 1x RMT 2x El Toro 7x

Happy birthday Harry! Have a great day

Justice League has one too. The only problem is that the single rider line is only accessible about toward the last 3rd of the line. So if there’s a wait time that goes into the second or third set of switchbacks, you’re still looking at a pretty sizable wait even as a single rider.

Is there a specific time announced? I have my last final around 1 that day and would love to be home in enough time to get on it early!

I’m taking a class called “History of Music in Film” next semester and it got me thinking of the soundtrack to The Right Stuff. Hearing “Breaking the Sound Barrier” brings back all these great memories of standing inside the hangar and hearing this score with the jets flying over head while waiting for the ride. If I remember correctly they kept that for Fly Me to the Moon, too. Even without the memories around it, what a great film score!

According to the park's Facebook page and website, the WW Membership event was pushed back one week. I wonder what caused the change. At least judging from FB photos, it looked like construction was on schedule. Maybe some more testing is needed?

Update: looks like I got taken off the waitlist for a parking pass! It’s just a matter of my schedule for finals and I’ll make the trip to SFA! Didn’t expect to get there this year, hopefully Firebird will be open when I go!
