Thoughts? 

 

Personally, I think it could mean one of two things:

1st: it could be an announcement for Jersey Devil continuing construction. The riddle says “We will spread some cheer about a new addition here” and DIRE unscrambled could mean ride. Jersey Devil is a new addition coming to the park, so maybe the announcement could be that Jersey Devil Coaster is continuing vertical construction again! 
 

2nd: Holiday in the Park will have a new ride open for the event! The riddle as a whole is very holiday themed, and the scramble mentions “a new addition”, which could be a new ride open for the event (Such as Bizarro or Runaway Mine Train)!

Hmmmmmmm, exciting! 

Happy Monday! Hopefully we will see more movement on the Jersey Devil Coaster construction site soon! 🏗 

More photos of JDC’s site from today! (11/7/20)

There IS a crane over by JDC! Looks similar to the one they used back in March & April for vertical construction as well!

I think the high maintenance leaders are:

KIngda Ka

Log Flume

 

Underutilized:

Jolly Roger

Tango

Bizarro (I can see this rotating to another park)

 

Aged:

Parachutes

Sky Ride

 

Also, being able to gather revenue on this one once again puts it at risk:

Safari Off Road Adventure

 

I'd be most upset to see the removal of the Log Flume, Sky Ride, or Parachutes.  

 

I hope they don’t remove Bizarro or Ka, as those are easily some of the best rides in the park, and I’d assume they’d have decent ridership. I could see Twister or Jolly Roger leaving for low ridership, and twister because of cyborg.

Guess I am not going today if I can't make a reservation. 

It looks like they added spots for tonight 

A Crane is on sight for the Jersey Devil Coaster!!! Photos are from CoasterCrew!

Nice video! Looking forward to any signs of construction resuming!

Hallowfest Maze prices are available!

Jersey Devil Coaster now has merch inside of the park! They are selling shirts, mugs, and more! They also have the Jersey Devil Coaster Nanocoasters inside of the park as well! All of this can be found at Main Street Market

It really looks menacing!

It really is! I cant wait until the lift hill and drop are put in place as well as the rest of the ride! 

Johnny Rockets, Congo Rapids, and Six Flags Universe have opened for the 2020 season!!!  

Here are some photos I took of the Jersey Devil Coaster to show what 2021 brings us! I know we all are excited for the day that the park resumes construction on this epic single rail coaster!

Can anyone explain how the gen 2 hybrid "swing axle" trains are? How do you think this will affect the ride of JDC versus how Railblazer and Wonder Woman are?

I believe the 2nd Gen Swing Axle trains allow for more tighter and intense elements. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong) 

Looks like Bizarro is getting ready! (Not my photo and this was taken today)

From someone who works in construction, I would guess:

 

1. As noted above, cranes we're probably sent back and need to arrive back on site. Typically equipment carries a monthly rental cost and the downtime would have been lost money.

2. Many jobs recently have what's referred to as a "week 0" where the focus is just getting things back in place to resume where they left off.

3. Reorganizing the crew which could have been all over the place during the downtime. 

Hopefully construction starts soon!

There is a video but it wasn't posted publicly. 

I definitely think that riding coasters with masks won’t be an issue, and it’s great to hear that nitro was testing at GADV!

I just saw on Facebook that Nitro was testing today with riders on board. It looks like the park is testing the whole riding with masks on. 

any photos or videos ? 

Just so everyone is aware, May 29th - 31st are full for reservations.

Same!

As much as I hate it I think having reservations is a good thing especially if you’re traveling a great distance to any given park. I’m surprised Universal is not requiring them. 

It is interesting how they're not requiring reservations, especially since most theme parks will now require a reservation in order to attend the park

I made a wallpaper for JDC’s dive loop if anyone wants to use it!
