Its not known right now.

All though, the new name for Superman at SFNE is Bizarro.

I'm assuming you have a season pass voucher? If you do then just use that as your gate ticket and then take it with you to the processing center. If you don't then buy it online before you go or buy it at the gate. Not entirely sure what you meant though. As for Medusa, I'd predict the same name as sfne imo.

Ok, so I'm definitely working, and I should be out in the park learning a new part of my new job. Feel free to say hi to me, because I can probably use you all for info.

Use us? Ooh. I love to be used.

rjholla2003,
Where will you be on Saturday so i can say Hi?

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2009, 10:20:25 AM »

Walking all over the park learning how to do our audits. After I get off, I plan to have a change of clothes in the car. I'll be keeping an eye on the boards via BlackBerry to see if I can say hi to anyone.

To all my fans, I have just found out I have softball practice. Meaning I will be at the park a little later then I thought. Please, don't let this ruin your day as I will be there as soon as I can.

Damn, I'm not going now.

^Sweet, it's going to be a nice day after all.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #35 on:** April 01, 2009, 12:04:29 PM »

Go get lunch of something.

ChuckR · « **Reply #36 on:** April 01, 2009, 12:43:14 PM »

I was gonna fly 8 hours and spend 800 bucks to get there, but now Bubba isn't going to be there...nevermind!

My son and I will be coming up from Delaware for the weekend. Sounds like weather should be a go!

Where's a decent place to stay close to the park? Last year we stayed over in Thom's River and that seemed SO far away.

Hope all will be up and running for a great day!

Steve · « **Reply #38 on:** April 01, 2009, 11:30:43 PM »

The only thing that sucks about coming from another state is finding a hotel to stay at. I would suggest either Freehold gardens about 20 minutes away, or the new hotel right off of Exit 5 on 195.

medic738 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 01, 2009, 11:40:52 PM »

Thanks Steve, I'll check them out.

I would sleep in my car to come for a weekend at GA!

(But it stinks that Medusa...oh I mean Bizzaro - won't be open till later.

AV Matt · « **Reply #40 on:** April 01, 2009, 11:59:43 PM »

I'm a Bubba fanboy.

We'll warm things up for him.

The Hilton Garden Inn in Hamilton, NJ (The one at Exit 5 off of 195) is probably the best. Well, not sure about pricewise but it's a nice new hotel (flatscreen TV's in every room!) and there is more food across the street from it then you can ever imagine.

And more coming a lil south on 130. Gah...more traffic is going to be going through my neighborhood now.

I've visited people in hotels on Rt. 206 (Exit 7 NJT) and Rt. 541 (Exit 5 NJT) and both were really nice. The Days Inn on 206 had a flat screen and was located near Rt. 130 where there are plenty of places to eat. There is a Ramada and Best Western off of Exit 7 as well. The Hampton Inn at Exit 5 was also nice, and is located near other hotels and places to eat, including Cracker Barrel! Exit 7 is about a 1/2 hour away from the park and Exit 7 is about 15 minutes away.

Welcome to Outpost! And here is a perfect example of why that on site hotel project needs to move forward

.

Edit: I also did want to point out that while the weather looks decent (probably the best it's looked in years for opening day) but there are high winds in the forecast. So keep in mind that Skyride, parachutes and of course, Kingda Ka may be down

. All indications are pointing to every ride being ready for opening day but they can't do anything about the wind.

medic738 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 03, 2009, 03:26:48 PM »

I was watching that wind forcast too. Thats one reason why we're staying over for Sunday - temps are forecasted warmer and winds less.

Counting down the hours...

It always freaking rains on opening day! When is it gonna be sunny and gorgeous?

Seems like that might be the case again.

WadeJ · « **Reply #47 on:** April 03, 2009, 09:02:22 PM »

Current forecast is partly cloudy with a high of 57. Winds gusting 25-35mph.

Ogolo · « **Reply #48 on:** April 04, 2009, 05:11:48 PM »

Well I just got back from my opening day visit.

-Lets say that much wind does not help coasters at all. Even the indoor type.

-The carousel and big wheel look great!
-El Toro opened with one train running around 1:00PM.
-Workers were pleasant and very friendly
-Seeing Mr Six walking around the park is just a bit creepy. But he does draw the crowd!

Now if they could only work on that weather control machine.

JetzFan14 · « **Reply #49 on:** April 04, 2009, 07:39:09 PM »
