GAcoaster Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 We're interested in all that stuff too, the problem is quite often all we have is a mention of it or a vague artists rendering. We can't give any more info than what we have. Sometimes we get lucky and find more or are sent something we didn't have before and suddenly we can flesh out a spotlight. A perfect example of this was the boats which until recently we simply had on early renderings: https://www.greatadventurehistory.com/PBNBBoats74.htm We had only seen renderings until we got pictures of one of the actual boats (which were never actually installed in the park) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I have a question, is the whole premium experience era considered a new dark age for six flags like the family friendly era of six flags from 2008 was (that included things like closing the old country area) Edited August 23, 2023 by harry2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Depends if it makes the parks better or not. In the short term it seems like a failure, but it takes time to implement a change in direction for a big company. And every "era" for the park has had it's good points and bad points. The Red Zone era so a lot of rides removed and areas closed, but it also saw the introduction of the Glow in the Park Parade, and while Mark Kane was running things at the park level they made HUGE strides in improving the guest experience overall. Currently I keep reading positive reports about how the park is cleaner than it's been in years, and the experience we had last fall with the food for Oktoberfest was surprisingly good. With so many things change is both good and bad depending on what you value and what you prioritize. Next year will be the real deciding factor if the new leadership for the company and the park is successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) Six Flags passes went on sale today and I decided to buy a Diamond level pass for the first time. I actually didn't expect these passes to go on sale until September, and since I was looking to go to the park sometime this week (I didn't have a pass previously), I was planning on buying a one day ticket with parking included, but ultimately decided against it due to having an ongoing health issue that would make going to any theme park not very fun. Turns out the Diamond pass via this Flash sale was only $20 more at the end than a day ticket with general parking. Needless to say, I'm very glad I waited.

Tower Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Anyone know what the deal is with the souvenir bottles? I purchased a diamond pass a couple days ago and when I went to the park they told me that the offer for 2023 expired already. Anyone know when they start selling souvenir bottles for next season? The fact that they aren't already selling them is kind of ridiculous. They should be putting them on sale the moment the Flash sale starts.

harry2004 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) im wondering about the glow in the park parade floats, did they still has those, because I thinking that six flags can bring back the parade, I mean, if six flags great adventure can bring back oktoberfest, why not glow in the park?

GAcoaster Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Made to Thrill has teamed up with Six Flags for a new line of merchandise! His work is AMAZING, and I can't wait to see what he did for each park. I'm going to go broke... If you're not familiar, check out his website: https://madetothrill.com/ I have several of the prints, and a few pins and patches from MTT already, and the official line he did for Cedar Fair Parks is amazing. Lot's of retro/past attraction stuff and logos! This will be awesome for the 50th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbadude44 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Many Six Flags parks, including Great Adventure, have been adding 99 cent surcharges "due to increased labor & supply costs." It's even been making the rounds on websites like Reddit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Sadly it seems like a new trend in the industry. SEAS has been adding a 5% surcharge to food and merchandise purchases since last year and raising prices in addition to the surcharge. I was looking a shot glass at Sea World last month and a few had $12.99 stickers on them when most had $14.99 stickers covering the $12.99 price.

BillyG Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 One also has to wonder if these charges are due to everyone now having to use cards to pay (which, of course, come with extra fees that weren't always there, especially for smaller purchases that one may make during a day in a park)?

Tower Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Flash construction hasn't even started yet has it? Wouldn't even be surprised if we have a 2025 opening at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Flash can EASILY be ready for 2024, unless they are doing what they have and push construction off until after the first of the year when weather often has a huge impact on construction timelines.

29yrswithaGApass Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 We still haven’t seen what was promised for 2022 (Barnstormer) or 2023 (Hurricane Harbor) additions open. I don’t think the 2024 additions have been before the Jackson Planning Board yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Never thought I'd see the day the park bills itself as a "resort" The pricing I've been seeing on the "glamping" is just INSANE if true, but we'll see what happens... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Adventurer Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 The posters they recently added to the Six Flags merch site are quite nice, but a bit steep at $50 each ($40 if purchased before the end of this weekend). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 The posters should have stylized riders on the trains. They are neat but not $50 neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
