Title: Great Adventure Opens April 12th!
Post by: jglonek on March 14, 2014, 04:01:35 PM
Six Flags Great Adventure opens for the 2014 season in less than a month! Who is excited?! Who is boycotting because Rolling Thunder is gone?

I may or may not go for opening weekend. I've only been once in 4 years, for 2 hours. I'm curious as to how the place looks these days. I don't think I've even seen the Star Flyer, bumper cars or any other changes.

I won't be there opening weekend since that's the same weekend the Galaxy S5 launches, so they're all mandatory work days. Maybe I'll use one of my days off during the Spring Break week to pick up my ID and play for a bit.

I got the evening shift on Bizarro, will probably be there at opening for my long overdue marathon on Nitro.

B-Mac??? Evening shift?

I plan to be there at some point assuming the weather is good but will likely have the entire army along.

Let me know what day you go. I'm off Tuesday and Friday that week for school so if it's one of those days I will be glad to accompany you. I haven't played in the park in a long time.

I never thought the day would come when people were talking about Privacy and Snowden to Six Flags employees when entering the park.
Is it possible the weather was too nice for an opening weekend?

The park was pretty packed for a Monday, probably because we had Magcon at the park today.

its funny what causes people to freak. The finger print is useless. They simply record something you always have and compare it to the pass you scanned to prove you are that person. The fingerprint is useless otherwise. I rather they do this than take my photo!

I have no idea how they even did it with that horrible small 8 bit-picture....I think its you??
It also seems the newly issued finger print only cards are not indicating "Combo Pass" vs "Gold Combo Pass" any where on the card.
Everyone gets 10 minute early entry!!

Steve caught me during my spur-of-the-moment trip that I took on Monday where I failed at literally everything I went to the park to do, lol. I'm heading there on Monday for Take 2.
