The Master Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 The weather the last several days have been terrible here. 20 degrees below normal and rain for the last 3 days and we still got a couple more to get through. Feels like late Nov rather than early Oct. Even when the rain finally stops everything will be muddy for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Went to see Jaws in Concert with the NJ Symphony Orchestra providing the musical portion of the soundtrack during the movie. They were wonderful and it was nice seeing the film back on the big screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Temps topped 80 degrees today - NOVEMBER 6th.

No heating bills, not freezing my butt off, easier to work outside, and more comfortable to go to the park! Sadly it seems most of the country has flipped to below normal temps. I probably won't go to the park this werkend due to the below normal temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 The one thing I won't get used to with the weather in Florida is that as soon as it gets to 70 degrees or lower, most people start to dress like it's 40 degrees back home. Yesterday I was walking around Busch Gardens in a t-shirt and shorts with no jacket and I saw so many people with winter jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts etc. It's also too cold for water parks for most people here even at 80 degrees. Typhoon Lagoon last week had maybe 150 cars in the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really lose your cold tolerance being here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I hope it at least takes a few years for that to happen to me. I like being able to go to the water parks during fall and winter to take advantage of the low crowds and wouldn’t want to have to stop going that time of year.

Yoshi Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm starting to reconsider preferring summer to winter. I rarely minded walking around Great Adventure or Hersheypark even when the temperature was barely above freezing and in some cases below freezing. I know it's been hot everywhere but I never expected to see around 2 months of the heat index being over 100 degrees and in some cases being 115 or more. In July I only went to Magic Kingdom for a few hours and less than an hour at Busch Gardens, just riding Iron Gwazi and redeeming my free items. I went to Busch Gardens last night for my first park trip this month and for less than an hour only because it had stormed and the temperature was finally lower. Thanks to low crowds I still was able to ride Iron Gwazi, Sheikra 3 times and the log flume twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 I had to leave Great Adventure and Hershey early due to cold temps. With HITP I mainly go during daylight hours and can only stay a little bit after sunset even with a heavy winter jacket. Often my fingers become painfull in the cold even with gloves on. When you are out of cold weather for awhile you forget how much it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I agree about it being painful. One time I took off my glove to buckle the belt on Green Lantern and just touching the cold metal for a few seconds was awful. I still still can tolerate the cold for now I guess. The few days this year it was in the low 50s out, I was walking around with shorts and a t-shirt like normal. Although to be fair, even back in PA I would wear shorts even if it was barely above freezing and I wasn't going to be outside for more than 30 seconds like walking from a building to the car.

Yoshi Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 It was strange to ride the Sky Ride at Busch Gardens Tampa today. I haven't ridden a regular sky ride with the same type of cabins at Great Adventure's Skyway anywhere else since a trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg around 20 years ago. I kept thinking when the car is going to go past the Dream Street Fountain or the Boardwalk area even though I of course knew I wasn't there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I'm just so glad they kept it instead of removing it. It was a real close call from what I understand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 With how long it was closed, even though they kept saying it was going to reopen, I wasn’t expecting it. Besides the views of the animals, I also liked how much time it saved me. Normally I spend so much time walking from ride to ride but with it open, I was able to ride Sheikra 3 times, Iron Gwazi, Montu and Kumba once each plus the Skyride twice in just over 90 minutes.

The Master Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 So today the Battleship New Jersey is being moved from Camden to the Philly Navel Yards for drydock refurbishment. First time its been moved since 2001. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
