harry2004 Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) why anyone so angry about this and blaming on seilm & six flags for it, the reason why wild safari was brought back in 2020 was because of the pandemic (back when theres are so many social distancing), the return of the safari off road adventure will reused the wild safari entrance (& possibly the safari explration station as the entrance for the attraction) Edited September 16, 2023 by harry2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkj3322 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 While it's more fun to drive myself, it's usually full of degenerates who drive like lunatics (Not too different than anywhere else since covid). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) so, if safari off road adventure entrance & exit is still in the frontier adventure, they could retheme the facade so it can fit in with the area, maybe retheming the pick up & drop out station as a western themed train station and maybe retheme the mini gift shop to a western themed shop Edited September 19, 2023 by harry2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured the catering area would be shrunk with a new plaza being put over there for Flash, and the Old Country path being left relatively open for future development. I like the direction they went in though, this went from just being the coaster to an entire expansion of the Metropolis area! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I am surprised to see proposed food and retail outlets given how a lot of the current stands/shops are underutilized. Then again these could be as simple as movable Fill the Thrill soda stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daved Thomson Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Any thoughts about the Savannah Sunset Resort/Spa? I guess I'm surprised with the number of actual tent structures they will be constructing, in addition to what seems to be a sort of central bunk house. Perhaps I'm not visualizing this concept correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn41103 Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I do like that they're proposing to move the arboretum to across from the transaction rather than eliminate it altogether. This looks like it's going to bring us very close to finally seeing each of the former parts of the Old Country section rehabbed and reopened to the public. Hopefully tree loss is relatively minimal.

NKMM10893 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 It’s still ridiculous that we even have to ask if construction has begun on The Flash, meanwhile vertical construction on Iron Menace is almost done. Why does Six Flags take their time with construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Adventurer Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Oof! I can't imagine too many people "Glamping" for that kind of dough. Certainly nice to see them begin working on The Flash in earnest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 First I thought it was $1,199.99 for 2 nights and thought that sounded expensive. Then I saw that was the rate per night. I wonder if it's going to be one of those type of offers where they will discount it to make it look like it is a deal based on full price or they really expect people are going to be willing to pay those prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 I wonder if this will end up as GAdv's version of Disney's failed Starcrusier hotel? There are some bad similarities between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a contractor building and running it, so the risk for the park is minimal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is what has annoyed me about a lot of our recent additions. “New for 2024, specifically the last few months, assuming no delays.” Having moved last year and now being within day trip distance of Holiday World, Indiana Beach, Kings Island, and Cedar Point, it’s so foreign to me that all four parks have new coasters on track to be open for opening day (assuming All American Triple Loop does actually open this year lol). I dearly love Great Adventure, but it’s tough for me to schedule trips to NJ by the time new rides open due to the fact that that’s when work generally gets busy for me and doesn’t slow down until the offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What contractor? Looks from the booking experience like a homespun operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
