I'd be really happy with the GCI dueling coaster from IAAPA.... Just saying.

HITP just keeps getting better every year! Hopefully the weather cooperates!

My father and I are planning a few very ambitious trips for the spring and summer of 2019. We're definitely going to be hitting our home parks which are Great Adventure, Dorney Park, Keansburg Amusement Park and iPlay America. We're also hoping to make it into Nickelodeon Universe's Media day, and attend it multiple times if possible. The first large summer trip would bring us down south, and then leading into the Mid-Western region of the U.S. The parks that we'd hit (in order) include Kings Dominion, Carowinds, Dollywood, Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, Kings Island, Cedar Point and possibly a Pennsylvania park such as Waldameer, Kennywood, Knoebels or Hershey on the way home. Our second large summer trip would bring us up north into Canadian Territory only before hitting New York parks, and possibly looping into Ohio. The park we'd hit (again in order) would consist of Darien Lake, Canada's Wonderland and Cedar Point. This trip isn't as far in planning as the other trip, so there is a possibility of use hitting other parks such as Great Escape, Michigan's Adventure, and even Quassy. There is a possibility that we'll hit other small parks within 2 hours of our home, but we haven't made any plans to do this quite yet. Let us know if any of you are planning to go to any of these parks, and maybe we could meet up!

List your tentative 2019 amusement park and theme park plans here!

But I read it here that Great Adventure is getting a T-Rex, so it must be true! LMFAO, give us some accurate sources, then maybe I'll believe it.

What about having more food trucks & beer / wine fests and using the arena in addition the area right in front like they do now. They could even do pet adoption days.

Boy, its sure gonna be cold up there but a great view depending on where you sit. The more rides open , the better to absorb the crowds.

Six Flags has always wanted a property in Florida, just saying.

I can't wait for the T-Rex. The layout looks amazing going through Toro. They could name it El Matador (the bull fighter)……..LMFAO

Oh my God! A T-Rex in 2020...…..Maybe at Cedar Point LMFAO....

I think most of us will agree that Six Flags is a business and as such operates to make a profit. It really doesn't matter what other parks in the area do or get, people will still go to Great Adventure whether they build a record breaking coaster, put in a generic flat ride or do nothing. With the opening of the new sports center right next door in the future, the attendance at the park will probably increase anyway. In my opinion, the next coaster (whenever that may be) should be a family type "stepping-stone'" like Rolling Thunder was, kids can't go from Skull Mountain or Dark Knight to El Toro. Also, I would bet anybody that the first T-rex (whenever or if it's ever built) will go to a Cedar Fair Park, probably Cedar Point.

Now here's something really crazy... What if the park removed El Diablo and replaced it with a GCI named El Diablo!!!!!

Then Six Flags will build a bigger one two years later. Just like they did in 2005 with Ka.

I'm gonna say this now, Cedar Point will probably be getting the first T-Rex for the park's 150th anniversary.

I don't think Bizarro is going anywhere anytime soon. Bizarro and Nitro (which has the highest guest capacity in the chain) have the highest guest capacity in the park which really helps out on those busy days (like Frightfest ).
