Safari Opening - 3/30/2024


Recommended Posts

Just before the April showers made their way to New Jersey, I was fortunate enough to have a chance to make my second Great Adventure visit of the season.

 

Quite a few coasters were still running with a single train, but the two that weren't (namely Kingda Ka and Jersey Devil) operated with tremendous efficiency. There were countless instances of Ka and Zumanjaro reaching their peaks simultaneously, generating a lot of extra excitement for both riders and onlookers.

Despite not being scheduled to open until Memorial Day weekend, Superman was running.

A wonderful new addition greeted guests as they made their way to the fountain!

It looks like the original attractions from 1974 will be getting commemorative tarps for their 50th anniversaries.

It's difficult to see through the trees, but some Log Flume supports are awaiting the return of their track.

Hopefully this week's rain won't sink Runaway Mine Train's footers any farther into the ground.

Coordinated operations from Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro are always an amazing sight, even when the skies are bleak.
