Anyone going is gonna have a great time I'm sure. Hopefully someone from our site can partake as I am sure even a report of the day would be great.

This really could be a lot of fun! I've always wanted to spend the entire night in Great Adventure... this may be my only chance. I usually stay up so late I only get a couple hours of sleep each night at home. In the park I am sure I could do an all-nighter!!

I can see it now, "Good morning GAH, broadcasting live from Movie Town it's 3AM !!"

I have faith in you Harry! Give it a go

I can see this kind of thing happening for a coaster like Kingda Ka or El Toro, but not Dark Knight.

[JetsDevs4Lyf]

^ I figure they are using this since the coaster is related to what should be an upcoming blockbuster movie, unlike Kingda Ka or El Toro which woudln't have the exact same type of media drive behind it.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, The Dark Knight Camp Out has been cancelled. We have to give the park a lot of credit for trying such a unique promotion for a great cause. Hopefully we'll see other events like this in the future.

[JetsDevs4Lyf]

Oh no! What happened to make them decide to call the event off?

[29yrswithaGApass]

Sign-ups were light due to it being held on a weekday (Wednesday night) and because of short notice. It would have been a unique experience.

[JetsDevs4Lyf]

This is true. I hope the park gives something like this a try again. The campout sounded great and the scavenger hunt portion of the night I think would have been a very unique experience in terms of moving through parts of the park when it is completely empty.
