29yrswithaGApass Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 When it comes to Great Adventure photos, I am usually pretty good about picking up on certain details or things that have changed or remained the same through the years. All last summer we saw this SkyScreamer rendering throughout the park and the riders looked vaguely familiar. The same guy in the orange shirt was even featured on the cover of the 2012 maps and within the 2012 pamphlet. Each time I ran across his image I knew that I had seen him before. Well, my mystery is solved... The same guys was featured on the cover of the 2002 season pamphlet! Ten years later, and he hasn't aged a day!

pashacar Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) That's still my favorite map the park's ever put out -- I've got a mint-condition copy somewhere at home. (Though midway through the season they switched the placement of one of the ads, causing the rides/food/shopping tabs to overlap with part of the map when you could previously flip through them and see the whole map by their side.) On another Arena-related note, came across this video recap of the Electric Adventure event that was just posted on Facebook. I know a lot of folks were skeptical about this meshing with a theme park environment, but it looks like it went quite well and it sounds like they're already planning to do another in 2013: https://www.facebook...&type=2 .

gafreak Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Electric Adventure was epic at GA this past season, it was awesome if your a fan of electronic djs, it was great price to get in cheaper then any other show ive ever been to in past and will go again next year for the whole day instead of just the 2 headliners...

The Master Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Hopefully the weather will be okay by then. March is still very winter like around here. Weather usually doesn't start to turn nice until April is half over. Edited February 27, 2013 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Long range forecats on Accuweather says it could snow on the planned opening day. So the park season opening may be delayed, late March is usual still crummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 ^They are rarely accurate in forecasting tomorrow's weather so I don't think I will lose sleep with the long range forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Agreed, so many times I was checking the forecast the day I was going to the park the past few years and it showed rain the whole day and then at the last minute, it changed to no rain and even then I don't always trust it. I really hope it doesn't snow opening weekend. Even if it's cold out (like the 40's), I'm still going but snow would keep me away. I also hope that the weather is good so it convinces the management to possibly consider opening in late March in future years even if Easter isn't until April.

The Master Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) As everyone guessed, the forecast has changed. As of now, the forecast will be dry and sunny but cold, only 47 for the high and windy. Well below normal for that time of the year. Have to wait and see. Sadly this is not a good region to open a park in late March, the weather is usually still lousy and cold. Don't even expect the weather to start to turn nicer until mid April, some years it doesn't even happen until June. Heck some Easters we have had snowstorms, GAdv is really pushing their luck opening this early. Edited March 5, 2013 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Only two weeks until opening day and if the weather is anything like today's we will be in great shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I saw the first Great Adventure commercial tonight on Fox5. Tis the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Never heard of Fox5 before, guess it's a NY station? I never watch FOX anymore so Fox29 could be showing GADV ads on a endless loop and I would not know. So far I have not seen ads on 6ABC or CBS3. Despite being a major source of their customers, the Philly area has always got a light dose of GADV ads. As for the forecast, a cool 49 but at least sunny and dry on Saturday. A cooler 47 and cloudy on Sunday, and a cold Monday of 43 with rain/snow showers. Edited March 21, 2013 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertleax Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Have seen the ad on 6ABS and FOX29 so far in the past few days... We were thinking about going Sunday but with the weather we just don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetish911 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I keep looking for a "like" button lol... But yes i even heard some radio commercials and one 94.3 The Point? I think? Anyways, was giving away tix. I got all excited cause its almost here!!! I hope sunday is nice enough to go. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 How are the commercials this year? Did they tone down all the flashy animations and graphics? If someone could upload a video of it that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 The park just announced they will be closed tomorrow due to weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I expected that, with 3-6 inchs Tuesday may be affected as well. Sadly the park tried to open too early this year. March is not a park friendly month in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 ^They are rarely accurate in forecasting tomorrow's weather so I don't think I will lose sleep with the long range forecast. Looks like they were off by two days back then. Still pretty good for such a long range forecast, but I still wished they were wrong, stupid snow. If this keeps up we made end up with a 6 month snow season this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanrobinchiller Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I hope we open tomorrow! I need my Superman. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I hope the park opens tomorrow too, I am considering going on Wednesday and it will probably be way more crowded than normal if everyone who was going to go today and tomorrow goes then (and even if I didn't have work on Thursday and Friday, I wouldn't go those days anyway because of crowds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Where I am the snow is already a good bit of the way gone. It switched over to a light rain for a while and put a big dent in the snow. Hopefully this has also happened in Jackson to speed up the snow melt. There was a solid 2 inch coating in the early afternoon but it is now a scattered trace coating. Supposed to be sunny tomorrow morning so it should melt.

GAcoaster Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 They have said they will be open tomorrow (Tuesday). Just like most spring snow storms it comes and goes quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 For awhile they were forecasting up to 6 inchs of snow on the ground but thankfully it didn't end up that bad. 6ABC reports that this was the largest late snow fall in 10 years for our area. I remember March 03, snow was on the ground for a week. Still GADV didn't get it as bad as SFStL must have with over a foot of snow. Guess that park won't have much of a spring break.
