We sometimes open around 10:00, but you cant get pass Main Street until 10:30.

That was kind of how it was in the early 2000s except they didn't hold you at the ropes on mainstreet. You just got in line for a ride, stand around for 1/2 hour and hoped it would open by 10:30.

Maybe this video will help all of us cure our off-season fever. I made this from used, unused, and shot footage I did for my site. Please enjoy!

Good job man,just the one thing I didn't like was the POV clips,I am real against filming on rides,except if you get permission like TPR does,but other than that nice job!

You know, I totally understand. I agree and am a strong enforcer for the rules. I'll be honest, I did ask permision, although it was denied. And, I don't like braking rules, but, I thought to get a realistic feeling of the ride, I'd have to get help (I don't run the camera for 95% of the time) shooting it on the ride. Thank you for watching and your kind feedback! I really appreciate it.

[itsbobby45]

alright so im already planning my first trip to great adventure for 2010
and how crowded do you think the park would be on a monday or tuesday in april?

[CoasterPrince]

Walk-Ons. Simple. I had so much fun riding everything in the park last year Pre-Season.

[ThemeParkRider]

Definitly walk-ons. I think throughout the whole season, I only had 3 or 4 trips I actually had to wait for something!

[Yoshi]

That hasn't been my experience unfortunately except in 2007. In April 2008 I went on a Wednesday, everything had a long wait, Nitro was into the switchbacks, GASM was 30 minutes even.

In 2009, I went in April on a Monday and Thursday, waits weren't as bad as 2008 but weren't walk ons. 15 - 20 minute waits for rides like Nitro and Superman (KK had a huge line).

2007 I went on a Wednesday in April and the park was dead, walk ons for everything except Superman which was 15 minutes but the park was empty because it was the 2nd week of daily operations and NYC schools were back in session.

March 27th - April 4th I think.Which is a Saturday - Sunday.

[itsbobby45]

okay thanks i didnt want that to interfere with when i went

[ThemeParkRider]

Yes I'll have to plan that out to avoid crowds. I enjoy GA when there is a crowd there, but not completely packed. I don't like it a ghost town either. For example, that Great Adventure Pass Day was sort of weird.

[gafreak]

Ga season past day is the greatest, you can stay on rides and not get off!

I love it when the park is empty, the emptiest I have ever seen it was Family Fall Fun Night 2008, you could look down a midway and not see a single person and then ride Skull Mountain and be the only one on the train. It's such a cool experience even though it is bad for the park.
