GAcoaster Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Our wish for day 23 is to bring back and annual Christmas event like Winter Lights or Holiday in the Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I really want to see Holiday In The Park. 2 months into the offseason and I could really use some coaster rides and I'd go to the park just for Skull Mountain and TDK. Although if they wanted to run an outdoor coaster like Nitro, that would be even greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMak Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I just went to Hershey for the weekend and had a great time. We also took my 2 year old son to Sesame and loved it there as well. Next year I may spend the weekend in Busch Gardens. It's a shame Great Adventure does not offer a holiday event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I've always wondered, are there any actual laws that prohibit certain rides from being open in the winter? Or does the park just make those decisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Over in PA, there is a law that the park must follow manufacture’s recommendations. So if B&M says their coasters should not be ran under 40 degrees, then the PA parks can't under PA state law. However as far as I know NJ does not have such a law. Still with the weather being very unreliable this time of the year with snow and ice on the tracks. Coaster trains are also more prone to valley in the cold. The parks also use the winter downtime to do repair work on the major rides like roller coasters. I just don't see how any of the outdoor coasters would be able to run. They could run the two indoor coasters but both would need alot of heating and both have spooky theming which isn't becoming for Christmas.

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I've always wondered, are there any actual laws that prohibit certain rides from being open in the winter? Or does the park just make those decisions? The NJ certification for each ride expires at the end of the year (Dec 31, XXXX) so they would need to end the event on New Year's Eve.
