29yrswithaGApass Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Something interesting..... Not including kiddie and up-charge rides, and assuming no additional rides are removed this winter, Great Adventure will have 12 adult coasters (50%) and 12 adult rides (50%) in the park next year. As a random point of reference, 25 years ago in 1985 the park had 4 adult coasters (14%) and 25 adult rides (86%). The number of roller coasters in theme parks nationwide has increased dramatically since the '80s, but I don't think any park has 50% coasters!

The Master Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) ^That is because GADV removed alot of their old flats so it is a big tradeoff. Edited September 18, 2010 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Hill Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Did you guy's notice the name "Butch" carved into one of the "Log Flume's" footer's. (last one in the lake behind Best Of The West). I was back there last week and noticed it for the first time. There are a couple of other names on it too. It was "carved" when the cement was still wet. That may of well been ,Butch Dring the first Director of Animals in the Safari. He was all over the park as it was being constructed and could of wrote his name along with the others? What other names were there and I could ID them maybe?

29yrswithaGApass Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Did you ever notice that there aren't any mirrors in the restrooms at Great Adventure? (At least the men's restrooms!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Didn't they used to have the "metal" one's that really don't work to good as mirror's,but could not be broken. For some reason i remember them in the LTSP restroom's. Before they moved the entrance to the "Seaport" side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 This weekend is the last weekend to use your "Funatics" Rewards. Use them, or lose them. I am using most of mine tonight. 2 "Bring-A-Friend Free", 2 "Skip The Line", Preferred Parking and "2 "Skip The Line's", and 2 Soda Reward's. I might not use the parking one though. If it is really crowded I park in Employee parking because they now close the other Exit road on that side when the park closes. I NEVER wait an hour in line to get out of the Parking lot. We were stuck once this year after Saturday Night Light's. Park over there and you can get right out at the end of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Did you ever notice that there aren't any mirrors in the restrooms at Great Adventure? (At least the men's restrooms!)

CoasterPete Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 ^I could've sworn I used to look at myself in the mirror at the restrooms across from the Dark Knight. Then again, it has been over a year since I've been to the park. That's gonna change on Sunday! Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 The Safari one has mirrors, no? Also, I remember a lot of them not having them over the sinks, but having one by the door for people going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The restroom by "Blackbeard's" has two mirrors in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Shame the weather is going to cool off so much this Friday, not sure I can go because of it. At least it will warm up Saturday and Sunday. Seems like every Oct, Fridays are always the coolest days of the week and Sundays the warmest.

gafreak Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 [Funny that harry mentioned the mirror deal,i was thinking of the same thing the other dayr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm still considering going tonight even if it is cold, I figure if I went Sunday of opening weekend in the low 40's, this weather won't be as bad the only difference is 90 minutes after opening it will be dark outside. As much as I would rather go tomorrow there is no way I am going on a Saturday or Sunday after seeing pictures of full queues with the lines overflowing 2 weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah I would never go Sat or Sun to GADV, however I will go to Dorney on Sun since it is usually not crowded. I just wonder why it always cools off on Fridays like clockwork, it's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I can't believe that there are only three days left to visit the park. Where did the 2010 Great Adventure season go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I keep thinking about how a week from today it will be the offseason, and it seems like it was just opening weekend in March. I hope opening day is early again next season since it is going to be a long 5+ months without Nitro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ahhhh only 3 more operating days, gonna be a long winter, im going for sure sat night, any one else headed out.on the other hand i did notice that they have dug out whatappears to be the pad for tjhe lift hill base over at the green lantern site, atleast we got something good to talk about over the off season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Sadly it looks like the weather will cool down alot again this Friday, but since this is the last Friday I will just have to tough out the cold. Shame they won't be open Thurs when it is still 75. The worst thing is the long off season and stupid winter.
