Yoshi Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 B&M coasters have stricter temperature requirements than some others (I think it's 40 degrees). Great Adventure is also more likely to run the coasters even if it is colder than that. I have been there when it's barely above 30 and the B&M coasters are running. I'm surprised because of that both Trailblazer and Runaway Mine Train aren't running since I think the requirement for Arrow Mine Trains are 33 degrees.

TylirB Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've gone on Ka in the low 40s. And wouldn't Mine Train not be running because that section of the park will be closed for HITP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It's also tougher to staff the park in the off-season when most of their workforce is back in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I am curious to see if they put Christmas lights on Harry Houdini's house. He was Jewish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 "Gingerbread Junction", "Polar Point" are Themed areas for HITP. And the Boardwalk will be known as "Holiday Shores", and "Parachuter's Perch" will have light's stung from the top of it to the ground in the shape of giant Christmas Tree!!!!. And "Big Wheel Deals" will be the Santa Photo op when HITP begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Here are shot's of the renderings the Park has out now that give away the Themed Area's, and what we have to look forward to. "Polar Point" look's like it will be an Icy Wonderland. This is going to be really GREAT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 If you look at the ground in the shot of the Carousel, it look's like they will have images projected on the path's also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 ^^ Good way to make use of "the Fence" this year lol. Any word on the Show (or shows) in Showcase? I assume a either "neutral" Holiday show of some kind, or one (hopefully) one explaining all traditions. That fits with the Theme of "Joy To The World" as the gateway to the Theater. I have always loved Halloween, but this year i just want it "out of the way" of HITP. I really like the idea of a "smaller" Park, but highly detailed. I think "regular" Great Adventure may seem lame after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro#1 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm hoping that they decide to run all the major coasters during this. I did see the map though and I don't think there are any special themed areas out as far as El Toro, Kingda Ka, Mine Train, and Bizarro. Superman, Green Lantern, Nitro, and Batman are all within the special HITP themed areas. Skull Mountain and Dark Knight will probably see quite a bit of ridership because they're indoors.

Mrpq Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 They list Parachutes as an open ride. How are they going to sting lights and have the ride open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Maybe they will be strung from the outer ring, or they will have them strung from the center, but in-between the Chute's guide wires, and the Chute's themselves. Meaning you will be outside of the top, center point of the "Tree" when your at the top of the Tower. And i think all the rides in the section's that are open will be operating. Now it makes sense why Blackbeard's is closed, none of the Lakefront Rides are open, there will be a Fence right past the entrance of "Skull Mountain" and right before the Lakefront restroom's right under the Skyride.

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am adding the map that was posted on the HITP Workshop in the park for reference in this topic. Keep in mind that this map is subject to change. In fact if you look at where lights were installed (like the path from the Big Wheel to Blackbeard's), the map already has changed.

Open PDC so El Toro can be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 El Toro does not play well on mornings during the late autumn weekends so that was taken into consideration for not including it during the colder HITP days.

Railer Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 It is VERY slow early in the season in early Spring weather also. It didn't open till' later in the day after morning testing when it almost velleyed on one of my visit's this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
