I am. The schedule is up on the Facebook page, but not yet on the ace event page. Unfortunately it's a pretty expensive event for a non season pass holder, especially one that earns a living in Canadian Dollars...lol. Luckily fo me ive been scalping Toronto Bluejays tickets all season, at stubhub pays out in US funds.

But I have a few questions.
1) is parking included in the $75 entrance fee.
2) how amazing can a chicken nugget really be?
3) does anyone want to put in an order for either ketchup or all dressed chips.
4) how busy is this event, specifically how many El Toro rides can you get in during a 2 hour ERT?
5) are flash passes the same price at the park as they are on line?
6) how busy will it be during the normal operation day? Last time I was there it was mid week in July and it was very very busy.
7)


1) Can't answer that considering my employee ID acts as my Season Pass, but if you have a Season Pass for La Ronde or another Six Flags park you shouldn't have to worry about parking. I'd go ahead for now and say no, since it didn't count for CoasterCon (why I'll never know) or GADVOnline Day.
2) Had Macho Nacho nuggets the other day, they weren't half bad.
3) All dressed
4) Last year was rather strange considering weather delayed the ERT and it was cut short because they opened the queue up to the Fairgrounds attendees. That won't be a problem this year since it's now a separate event, but you're still going to get a crowd somewhere in the 300s maybe even 400s. You also have to account for the fact that they're going to be dealing with a lot of large riders who will have to be stapled in order to ride. Despite all of that Wade and I managed to ride Toro a solid 4 or 5 times before calling it quits, but we cheated and rode in the middle (and used a shortcut to get back into the station again), instead of waiting for the front or the back. If you really want to get as many rides as possible try and get there as soon as the ERT starts and immediately head for the back row to get that experience, then ride in the middle. If Toro is running well, the middle is quite possibly the best place to be anyways
5) Pretty sure they are, but I wouldn't recommend using the regular flash pass on what is likely going to be a pretty packed weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if the lines for some rides break 60 minutes.
6) It is likely going to be a fairly busy day once the afternoon and evening roll around, but with all the events and amenities ACE and SFGA will have prepared most people won't bother running around and grabbing all the rides. There's going to be an hour of ERT for Bizarro, Diablo, and Mine Train along with Toro and there will also be morning ERT on Nitro and prior to opening they'll have early access for first rides on Ka and Zumanjaro. That's quite a few rides you won't need to wait in line for, or at least extremely long ones.
7) Can't really judge this one properly sadly. I got my ACE membership around this time last year, paid for a 3 year membership which is a good chunk cheaper than renewing once a year for three years. You also don't need to pay for the ballots or the magazines, at least I didn't. I believe certain hotel chains give discounts for ACE members reserving rooms and some parks even offer discounted admission, but I haven't looked far into that considering I have better perks as an employee.

Also P.S. I'm pretty sure you can take the Subway in from New Jersey without much of a problem, they have a few stations within blocks of Yankee Stadium. Just be sure to research your route before going.

Got cut off.. sorry.

7) is ace worth the money to join other than to go to events? Reason I ask is a Canadian membership is 22.50 more than a US one. Add on the exchange rate and I'm near $100 per year.
8) is there public transit from that approx area you can take to Yankee Stadium? An odd question I realize but I'm consider a jays yanks game on the Sunday. Not a huge fan of driving or parking in NYC.

Thanks for any help in advance. Hope to see some of you there.

Even crazier is that it still holds the tallest coaster record even 10 years later. I wonder if thats also a record for longest holder of that record.

Park News / Happy 10th Birthday Kingda Ka!

Yesterday marked ten years(!) since Kingda Ka opened to the public on May 21st, 2005. I can't believe it's been ten years already, but I remember being there. And I've met a great community of enthusiasts since then.

In honor of that, here's a link to the first ever test launches that we were able to capture on video!

I can't believe that they're bringing this back, even if it's in a safe way. You'll still never see me on it.

While I get that I still couldn't believe they released this today.  Wait one more day!  Everybody was wondering if it was real or not lol

This is cool.  The last time they did this it was only in the catering areas and they used the safari for a drive-thru lights event.  If I recall, santa, reindeer, ice skating, and such were all that were offered.  Decorating the park AND opening the rides is awesome.  I do wonder how they'll be able to staff it so I guess we'll see how that goes but to one-up Hershey and keep the coasters running, weather permitting, is a sweet deal.

Something to do with Season Pass sales, they want to get as many as possible before Memorial Day for El Diablo, Namtab, and now HitP. Apparently there's going to be a pass structure *similar* to that of what Hersheypark is running.

Why does anyone bother to release real news today! This could have come out yesterday or tomorrow!
