Not sure if anyone else noticed, but there’s a new Jersey Devil logo on the front of every car (shown in today’s Beyond the Adventure video)!

Sure would be a great place for a Great Adventure museum.

I have been to the park, twice.  I will have a full video on the topic coming out on Friday, but I can say with confidence that the park is definitely very safe.

My video will come out at 1:00 PM EST on Friday on the Coliwood Studios YouTube channel, so feel free to check it out when it comes out!

We’re actually so confident in Six Flags that we’re going to 4 Six Flags Parks across Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas!

I will really be surprised if Ka is open.

We have our day, everyone! Can’t wait to be back

Now the only question that remains is what’s happening to Jersey Devil?

I could see JDC opening for Fright Fest with a huge membership/pass marketing blitz.

BUT, it all depends on the covid situation and when the park is actually allowed to open.

More than likely it will probably get pushed to 2021...

We're gonna be there the last week of July (reservations are set for two days). We are also going to Sea World and ZDTs(if time allows).

We will be at Frontier City the last week of July (just waiting for reservations to open) and we'll take plenty of pictures and a video. 

On a side note: We reserved several Six Flags parks for this summer's trip with no issues.

Just posted a new update on JDC: https://youtu.be/WCpZeS2j9wI

So guys is late June/early July is opening day?

I’d honestly predict early-mid June

The ride may have been unstable before trackwork, but now that the majority of track is in I'm not sure this stands too much to reason anymore. Governor Murphy also included in his declaration of the non-essential construction cease that exceptions would include "other limited instances." If crews working on the coaster can scale back crews even further than already present, they may be able to continue. Even though this is ultimately less efficient, at least work can possibly continue. 

Hopefully this is the case

Do you think what Jersey Devil will resume work next month?

I hope it will.  I remember hearing somewhere that the ride can be considered unstable, which would mean construction needs to resume, but who knows at this point.

I think the park could try use year round weekend ops like SFFT and SFOT if they want to this year. I still feeling June/July most likely to the park opening.

I personally think that parks will almost definitely be open in July.  Apparently, Disney has tons of PPE that they would hand out to their guests, and they’ll be ready to open soon (I don’t have direct evidence of this, it’s something I heard).

Thanks @coliwood_studios and Mid Atlantic Coasters for the update!

Great job on the map! Keep up the great work!

I'm going with 2006 for coasters and maybe even overall with 1999 & 2000 a close second.

It really would have been great if they kept one of the Lightnin' Loops.

Great job on the video!

It would be really cool if they left Roadrunner Railway in the same area, repainted it and renamed it "Little Devil" (using the tiny toons taz character).

It would be great if the park map posters made a comeback.

It always seems that whenever the line anywhere is long (bank, any store, Great Adventure, etc.) some moron decides to ask some stupid question just so you can wait even longer!

Yes! That would be awesome!

Online, hassle free renewal  would be great! We did our Cedar Fair passes in less than five minutes.

On another note: the whole membership/passes situation is the most confusing/annoying thing to deal with and to make matters worse they keep changing it!

So ACE event is coming this weekend, is going to be news about El Diablo, 2020 coaster (RMC Raptor), and more?

There were no mentions of Great Adventure's future plans at yesterday's ACE event.

However, Morey's Piers is planning on adding 5 new coasters in the next 10 years, depending on their income of course.

As far as the Raptor wish goes maybe you should give it a break for awhile.

Offering the paper cup option would be great!

We tried the paper cup option with our Cedar Fair passes this past year and it was much better than the plastic cup.

Here are some observations:

Paper cup (Cedar Fair Parks, Dorney, KI, CP, KD): 15 minutes or so wait time between drinks, cup is on the small side, sometimes there is a wait to process the pass transaction (even at drink stations), you can bring your drink on line for almost any ride, no worrying about misplaced/stolen cups, great for rides with different entrance/exit locations, increased number of trash cans and servicing, increased litter patrol. Consistent policy at all parks visited.

Sports Bottle (Six Flags, SFNE, SFGA, SFA): Refill over and over no problem, greater volume than paper cups, worrying about misplaced/stolen cups, pain in the neck to put in a locker, bees/wasps around cup holders. Consistent policy at all parks visited.

Paper cup vs sports bottle operator view: Inventory and disposal costs, customer satisfaction, sponsorship/marketing opportunities, cost per drink (beverage only vs beverage & cup), control of refill period, trash control throughout the park.

Pins would be great too!
