Season Pass and Membership is $4. $1 from each ticket is donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County. Pretty hard to feel cheated for that price, but I'm sure someone will. Love this event. Just wish they could put a small rink in somewhere for ice skating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph_D Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I went to Holiday In The Park Opening Day.. It was fun. They had a good amount of rides although I got stuck on SkyScreamer. I felt like Kingda Ka could've been open though, it wasn't that cold outside. I liked all the light props. There were absolutely no waits for ALL the coasters. They were basically walk-ons. I went in the mirror maze for $8 because i had two people in my party. The maze was $5 for normal guests, and $4 for season pass holders and membership members. The maze was cute. we got basically stuck towards the end, and a little elf came into the maze and lead us out. It was fun. Nitro in the back of the train is the best because you literally fly out of your seat on those airtime hills. I literally almost lost my hat I had on the first drop. Superman was fun too. All the rides were fun and thrilling. We saw a couple of shows. We saw the Hotsy Totsy, and the Tree Lighting Show. Believe it or not, I saw a lot of people with those hot beverage mugs. It's for coffee and hot chocolate. If you don't know the price it is $10.99 for one cup, $9.99 For two, and $8.99 for three. The parachute ride was open, in which they used to have lights on it last year. They had character meet and greets throughout the whole park. And they did not have the red string lights on skull mountain surprisingly, just red spotlights. But overall it was fun and I will definitely visit again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Unless I have missed them, I think the park should have both radio and TV commercials to promote Holiday in the Park. So many people are surprised to learn the park is open this time of year when I tell them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I believe they would take any attendance they can get even to the point of overcrowding. It just makes better business sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I remembered when joker opened we filmed a ‘winter’ commercial but it was never used. Only ads I’ve seen are Facebook and Instagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc98 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Great Adventure has one of the least interesting/worst park social media presence ever, so Facebook and Instagram isn't helping them much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddox121 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 yeah, it's bland. I'm kinda new here, and i have only been to Over Georgia but if my mom would take us to a new six flags park, it would be great adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they really need to get on this. Their social media game is abysmal. I don't know if they need to contract with some influencers or just high a college-aged marketing intern and hand over the reigns. I always get the impression that the person handling it doesn't quite "get" how the various platforms work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMak Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Curious. How has attendance been for Holiday in the Park? Been a very cold few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have only been there once but checking Queue Times almost every day, it looks like crowds have been better than expected with the cold weather. Tonight Justice League was showing a 45 minute wait and the Skyway a 20 minute wait even with temperatures under 30 degrees. I would have thought everything would be a walk on in that weather.

fetish911 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I was there lastnight (temps hovering around high 30’s) and while the park was pretty empty overall, definitly longer wait times for JL & Skyway than i would have imagined. Walk-ons for Nitro, TDK , BTR and basically everything else that was running. Loooong lines in Granny’s for food though, prob cause it was nice & warm inside. We totally forgot about the defunct Panda-now-generic holiday eatery, which would have been warm too, next visit we’ll try it if its not too packed.

TylerRRC1972 Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Is the Park open on Friday December 14th? Was planning to go but it looks like it's closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stinks, I know Sesame Place and Storybook Land will both be open Friday, but I have done both of there Holiday in the past. It was Down to Hershey Park and Great Adventure and we wanted to keep it close due to the Rain, but I guess Hershey Park it is.

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 No HITP today - Park is closed due to rainy weather. All this bad weather on operating days has to be hurting attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I may have missed them, but did anyone catch the pine, gingerbread, peppermint, etc. scents they use to pipe out in years past? Did they have those this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I forgot about the scents. I don't remember a peppermint scent when walking near Houdini this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
