29yrswithaGApass Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 The "tentative" date for Great Adventure's 2008 season opener is Saturday April 5th. As always, subject to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill-Pics Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I will, although my friend who works at the park said that the Dark Knight coaster construction will be at it's peak during this time. Therefore, the biggest construction vehicles will be around the Movietown arena. He said that they may need to close off (as in block off) the path in Movietown that starts over near the exit to Chiller and ends at the Papa Johns. I dont know if this is true, but my friend said he heard it during a meeting with the park's Ride Maintenance Dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Dark Knight will take about 5 minutes to build. It is the building that will take a while really, and that shouldn't take too long either. This ride should be done far before typical massive coasters.

Great Adventurer Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I plan to go on that day in hopes of riding the Dark Knight, if it is up by that time, and just basically enjoy the environment I love oh-so-much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I will definately be there that day to kick off the new season with a bang. After such a great 2007 season I can't wait to see What is in store. The dark Knight and Glow in the Dark Parade sound like great additions as well.

rcji Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Being its a Sat. I am really going to try and hopefully I can make it down there for opening day. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I can't wait. I'm going to try to get in for Dark Knight early, before the masses come to ride it. 95 days left now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well, the new schedule has been posted, with opening day on April 5th, and close of the season on November 2nd (Halloween is that Friday). The GOOD news is they're back to 4 Fridays of Fright Fest again. Click for the calendar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 It looks like the latest they will stay open this summer is 10PM and it also appears as if Pfizers annual Saturday buyout in June may have been moved to September (13th).

BuddyChrist Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I was really hoping that the opening date would be earlier so I could go in the beginning of the season, but now that the schedule is up, that hope has faded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Maybe they'll have a preview day or early bird pass processing like they used to have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) We can always hope as that would definately be a nice added bonus for season pass holders. Edited January 3, 2008 by JetsDevs4Lyf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 With Easter so early, I too was hoping that the season would have started sooner. I also had my finger crossed that they would have extended the season a couple of weekends beyond Fright Fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Same here, but I'm going to go like crazy when it opens. It's open during spring recess as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I can't wait until it opens, I think I'm driving my girlfriend crazy talking about the park as recent news comes out about schedules and rides and all. But she knows it will be all well worth it and she loves the place too so who is she kidding lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The Safari Park hours have now been officially posted and they pretty much coincide with the Theme Park. The Safari won't be open weekdays when the Themepark is closed in the spring like last year. Hurricane Harbor hours haven't been posted but they are stating it will be the park's longest season with 84 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 75 Days until Great Adventure opens !!!! The 2007/2008 off-season is 160 days this year so we are more than half way to the park's opening day on April 5th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 As I'm standing in my voting booth next Tuesday I will be thinking woohoo only 2 months to go. Although after the Bush debacle perhaps I should stay more focussed on the task at hand haha. Can't wait for 4/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Two months from tonight is GA-Opener-Eve!!! Is it too early to start charging those camera batteries? Only about 60 days to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
