That location has been like that for quite some time now because they use that plot of land as a great viewing site for the fireworks. They make so much money off of people paying for V.I.P. seating, that they wouldn't get rid of that plot of land by using it for a skywarp when there are so many other, better places for their 2019 attraction. (And so many better choices for their 2019 attraction)

I'm still staying with my prediction that they're getting a raptor or t-rex in either Metropolis or Golden Kingdom. I do believe that there is a chance that they could get both a raptor/t-rex and a skywarp or other flat ride to compete with the opening of Nickelodeon Universe in the Meadowlands.

Hershey is great! At this point it's my favorite park, but that may change after my first ever trip to Cedar Point next week!

Definitely: Great Adventure- Home Park Dorney Park- 2nd Home Park Kings Dominion Cedar Point- OVC Trip Kings Island- OVC Trip Knoebels- OVC Trip Kennywood- OVC Trip Keansburg- 3rd Home Park Probably: Playland’s Castaway Cove Maybe: SFNE Six Flags America Busch Gardens Williamsburg Casino Pier Jenkinson’s Boardwalk

@philthynj and I had an AMAZING day at Great Adventure and Hurricane Harbor Thursday. We stayed from opening to closing because the park was DEAD on a Thursday in the summer!!! The park was dead mainly because there were thunderstorms in the forecast, and there were only two instances that were a slight rain, but nothing much. Hurricane Harbor was also dead, so we managed to do every main slide there other than King Cobra as it was closed. We also ran into the YouTuber MillenniumForce which was pretty cool. I got LROTNON (Last Ride Of The Night On Nitro) which was very awesome in the front row! I was able to successfully do the T-Pose on Nitro and El Toro. I also beat lots of my own park records yesterday!! ———————————————————————— Here’s the ride count: El Toro 25x, Bizarro 2x, Kingda Ka 4x, Batman 1x, Nitro 17x, Justice League 3x, Joker 2x, Skull Mountain 1x, Log Flume 1x Me: 56 Rides The Four Winds 4x, Big Wave Racer 1x, Big Bambu 1x, Reef Runner 1x, The Falls 2x, Bada Bing Bada Bang Bada Boom 4x, Tornado 1x, Hurricane Mountain 5x Me: 19 Slides 75 Total Attractions!!! ———————————————————————— I beat my record for riding El Toro in one day, as I rode it 25 times yesterday. I broke my record for riding Nitro in one day, getting 17 rides. I also rode more rides in one day than I ever have before at 56 rides. For Hurricane Harbor, I broke my slide count for one day getting on 19 slides. And we actually went back and forth from Parks which I’ve never done in one day. In total, I rode 75 Attractions which I’ve never even came close to!!

I had a good short day at Great Adventure last night! El Toro was upsettingly closed for the day, which is probably just as bad as Steel Vengeance being closed for the whole day 😂. When we were collecting our pictures, an awesome employee named Shakim helped us out and took time out of his day to crop all of our photos to perfection, so a big thanks to you Shakim! The lines were very minimal, especially after most of the chorus groups left the park. I did have a very bad experience with a ride attendant at Nitro last night. When I was getting my last ride of the night in the back right seat, she came over and literally jumped on the restraint, making it so tight, I actually couldn’t feel my legs. She made my last ride of the night on Nitro suck, and even after I said “oh my god, that’s hurts, it’s so tight!” She didn’t bother to ask me if I was ok. The restraint was so tight, she pushed it passed the lowest click, jamming it in. The whole operating team on Nitro last night were running with extremely slow operations. There was one train that someone got sick on, but even with the other trains, the operations were just horrendous. Even Ka’s operations sucked, partly due to the Zumanjaro crew running the ride way too often when there was basically no one on the ride. The sugar shack’s signature sugar burst’s weren’t available due to the machine being broken which was very unfortunate. We also got stuck on Justice League for a good 15-20 minutes which was cool until we realized how much time we lost as the park was almost closing. Here was my ride count: Kingda Ka 6x, Zumanjaro 2x, Bizarro 2x, Runaway Train 1x, Justice League 4x, Batman 1x, Nitro 5x Me: 21 Rides

The ride is looking great! Does anyone know how far back this ride’s queue line will go. Would they be able to fit another flat or a raptor behind it/next to it?

Had a great day at Dorney Park last week, and got on a lot of rides. The crowds were very light and the weather was perfect. Unfortunately, Hydra closed mid-day and didn’t reopen. In the one front row ride I managed to get on Hydra, I had a very rough ride, and I don’t know if it became rough over the off season, or if it just had bad wheels. Thunderhawk was also closed due to retracking, but we did catch some test runs from it! I decided to take a ride on Monster which ended up being a huge mistake. I felt so nauseous on that ride as the cycle was too long, and I never feel sick on rides. Demon Drop was actually open and I got a few rides on it for my first time. It was easily the most intense drop tower I’ve ever ridden, and maybe even the most intense ride at Dorney. It still absolutely hate their no re-ride policy, and if that didn’t exist, I would’ve gotten so many more rides on the coasters. That policy majorly impacts my experience at Dorney in a negative way, and I hope that policy is repealed soon. We also spotted some reminiscence of Stinger in the form of T-Shirts, magnets, candy, and actually a sign pointing towards Stinger Dorney forgot to take down. Here was my ride count for the day: Talon 4x, Hydra 1x, Possessed 2x, Steel Force 4x, Demon Drop 3x, Monster 1x, Kaleidoscope 1x, Cedar Creek Flyers 1x Me: 17 Rides

Here’s a rendering of a possible spot for a T-Rex/Big Raptor I made that fits where Rolling Thunder used to roar. It fits perfectly in that spot. I’d definitely rather see a Coaster than a flat package over there. I’m insterested to see if everyone agrees with me that it’ll be a RMC T-Rex or Raptor in 2019 or 2020.

Great Adventure - 4 times so far I Play America - 1 time so far (rainy day) Dorney - 1 time so far to process Cedar Fair passes (way too expensive!!) Knoebels - Booked Cedar Point - Booked Kings Island-Booked Kennywood-Booked Casino Pier Keansburg Clementon - Maybe Kings Dominion - Maybe Busch Gardens Williamsburg - Maybe SFNE - Maybe SF Darien Lake - Maybe SF Great Escape - Maybe

I bet they started the no glasses policy due to the video recording glasses, there are quite a few recent p.o.v. videos on youtube and I understand park management is not to happy about it.

This is great news! When do you think we can uses our passes/memberships to visit? Now only if they could get the Busch properties....

I hope not, but either way I doubt they would. El Toro is too good of a ride for them to mess with like that. The most they'll do is retrack the rougher sections.

I think Great Adventure is getting a T-rex and a water park expansion. I don't say a raptor because they're meant for smaller parks, and Great Adventure certainly isn't that.
