45-1 hour.  Sometimes longer if traffic sucks.  It's 62 miles and I usually average about 50 minutes pulling into the parking lot.

About a half hour away, but could take a little longer if I get stuck behind a slow poke!

A bit more than twice as far as I am from Cedar Point.

And I normally find myself at Great Adventure at least three times as often as to that place on Lake Erie.

It is about 60 miles for me and usually takes me a little over an hour.  I come from Ardmore, so I hop on the 476 at Villanova, take that to the PA turnpike to the NJ trnpke and get off at 7a.

It's 96 miles/1 hour 45 minute drive for us--about double what it used to be when we lived in NJ.  :(

It takes an hour for me to go from work or home. It's 45 miles away and it takes exactly an hour no matter the speed. Weird!

It usually takes us about an hour or so. Longer if the NJT is all backed up at the merge.

The Turnpike is a bad highway, always loaded with traffic and narrow lanes

The Turnpike is a bad highway, always loaded with traffic and narrow lanes

I think you confuse the Turnpike and the Parkway.  The Turnpike's lanes are 12 feet wide, hardly a narrow-laned highway.  The Parkway's lanes are so narrow I feel like my car barely fits.  Plus it has tight turns, which make it just that much more challenging if you're going at high speeds.  And it has that sucky 55 MPH speed limit that no one follows.  Add onto that the fact that it also takes you WAY out of the way when heading to the park if you enter the  Parkway above exit 129 and you'll see why I hate taking that to the park and never will after the one time I did.  The Turnpike only sucks on weekends if you happen to get caught in peak traffic, and during rush hour if you happen to be going with that traffic.  During those times, I take 18 to 1, then 130 to 195.
