DANofNJ Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I saw it on the website, and at the time I noticed it, they had ZERO details. Its the same when they do some of the ERT sponsored by Slurpee. They dont mention what the rides are involved. Its just terrible marketing of the event. Some parks have their ERT events posted at the beginning of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 And some parks don't have ERT events! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanobieFan Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I really like what GADV is doing. SFNE isn't doing anything great. Mind Eraser ERT , School Supplies drive, and something with coins for charity. Not a big event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlee Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I was going to work overtime on saturday then go to the park afterwards around 12:30. Now, i'm not doing the overtime! Going to the park instead!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlee Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I had a great time today! Got to the park around 9:45am. Most of the park was closed so I headed straight to Zumanjaro. .I was anticipating a super long line because the golden kingdom was crowded but I waited less than 10 min. The second time I went on, it broke down for 10 min. Went on el toro 3 times! Bizarro only had 9 people in line around noon and waited about 15 min for nitro. As I was about to leave the park after nitro, the prize patrol spotted my six flags roller coaster shirt and gave me a free hat! Awesome!
