29yrswithaGApass Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Forecast for season opening is not looking as good, Sat 4/12, 51 cloudy and rainy, Sun 4/13, 51 and some sun. If you believe in such long range forecasts, as of today it is suppose to be 73 and sunny on opening day. I honestly don't trust the weatherman's forecast for tomorrow let alone weeks in advance!

Yoshi Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I agree about that. There have been so many times over the past few years where I am trying to plan which day to go to the park and it shows something like a 60% chance of rain that day and then it changes to 20% chance of rain and sunny most of the day. Unfortunately I have also had the opposite happen where it wasn't supposed to start raining until later at night and I got to the park in the early afternoon and after a couple of hours it started to storm. When that happens, I ride TDK and Skull Mountain a few times and then leave. If it is 73, that would be great since it would be the first opening weekend in a while that I was able to wear shorts and a t-shirt to the park and not have to wear a sweatshirt, gloves, jeans and a jacket.

Now we just need to hope it happens, maybe this can be the one time the forecast doesn't change? Edited March 30, 2014 by RC98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGadv123 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Now, again these long range forecasts are usually 0% accurate, but between the period of April 8-10, a strong coastal storm may impact the area, and if it is cold enough, though highly unlikely, it could be snow.

Yoshi Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Good news for the upcoming season, no coasters are adding seatbelts this year. After Full Throttle, Titan, Superman Ultimate Flight (SFDK) and Golitah (SFMM) added them I thought there was going to be a possibility that some of the coasters (especially Nitro) would get them and I'm glad that's not happening.

jonlee Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 besides nitro, what other coasters would need seatbelts? I know on nitro, i don't fit well in the restraint. Either its too tight or loose enough that i can move a little too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I thought Skull Mountain and Runaway Mine Train might get them too since during the later part of the past season they were more strict about parents and kids sitting in the same row with the shared lap bar at Skull Mountain.

robertleax Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's the one ride that my kids rather ride with each other than with me for that same exact reason. Last time I rode it with my daughter we were in the back row and when we went over the 1st drop, she thought she was going to fly right out.

jonlee Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I recieved a survey from Six Flags yesterday. It was about the appearance of employees. It asked about tattoos, bracelets, and highlights in hair. They are changing policies on these. I put at the end of the survey that all i'm concerned about is the line jumpers and security.

jdc12192 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 If anyone is going to the park the 12th or 13th and does not have a season pass, or is going with people without a SP, use promo code '40years' online for tickets saving you $40.

I don't care if a employee has weird colors in their hair, or tattoos. I've seen employees with their tattoos covered up and it looks worse than if it was not. Sometimes I seriously thought they got hurt or had a disease until i realized they were just covering a tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Staff appearance isn't the most important thing for me, it's how friendly and helpful they are that matters IMO. If someone has a tattoo and is a friendly, outgoing employee, I would be just as likely to go to them for help as someone without one.

Mrpq Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Number 1 thing on my list of concerns is deff the line jumpers. Its out of hand at GADV. Who cares about tattoos. Almost all my friends have them and half the time people I meet with tattoos are nicer then the people without. Nice to see people are still so fast to judge based on appearance. The crowds GADV draws as a whole is a little meh, to say it nicely. The past few years I find myself more willing to take the drive to Dorney or Hershey. I feel bad saying that because I grew up every year going to GADV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they always have to ruin opening day with deals like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
