It was a great day.  Mark is certainly taking this park in the right direction.  That was abundantly clear today.

Bubba, did they finally hire you?

HUM I thought that LTSP was staying so now it will be wiggles world I wonder if that means something special later on in the place where KC was ?? Maybe a flat Thomas area or new coaster . OK I can dream right !!
Great news about KK and all the other coasters open as much as they can get them up and running. Johnny Rockets WOW I hope the onion rings are there !!!! I can't wait to see the park up and running . One thing I was wondering about the new Safari exit . If you are there early and go to the safari I wonder how you are going to be able to return to the park side parking lot ? I hope it doesn't mean exiting out of the park to the main road and then have to make the u-turn to come back in . Ohh can't wait for April .

Yes, yes, things are well, things are swell!

Its great to see so much work being done
Especially when we all can agree
Its just to make next season oh so much fun
To a whole new degree!

Chiller's awaiting new track and supports
Its coming very, very soon!
The new track will be combined with the old track they got
Sitting out over in the employee parking lot!

This will make a nice rising banked hill
Your going to be turned a bit more sideways than you may think
It will be quite a nice lateral thrill!

Kingda Kas blue train is out in the land of the Togo
Its getting a lot of work done on itself far far away
So it will be ready to go go...
On opening day! (Yes I'm aware that was in this update hehe)

The B&Ms and are all done and rehabbed and set to go
Their awaiting some people to come and cycle them in 2 weeks or so!

Now a clue for you about a certain rides queue
Its seems its never coming back
Which makes me ever so blue!

(As you now know) Batman will not be ready opening day, he will be dead
For his train has been stolen
By the evil Chiller of Red!

Yes they made the blue train red
Its no lie
What I have just said!

A train from another Six Flags park will bring our Batman to life
The pain of wanting to get back on all these rides
Just cuts like a knife!

(Thanks for the picutres too guys!)

LTSP is staying - just in the area over the bridge where the ball pit, road runner railway, etc. are.

As for the safari exit, you have 2 options when leaving - Theme Park or Exit :)

Who is Who?



You can't mistake ChuckR all the way on the left...and Coastin Steve all the way on the right.
Any guesses on the others?

Any idea of what park the new Chiller train is coming from??

Ok I guess the pictures of LTSP just confused me. I am glad about the exit to the safari . I hope that it works out better then what we had.

Nice picture on the lion there Wade. I hope maybe one of these days to get to meet you guys so I can tell who is who .

My comments on what it says.

Quote
Kingda Ka will open with 4 trains.
As much as I'd love to see this happen, I'm still skeptical.

Quote
Chiller Red will "hopefully" be ready by opening day if not shortly after.  Batman shouldn't be far behind.
There is no was Robin will be ready around that time, unless they start constructuon imediately, and don't stop.

Quote
They have the budget for people.  They just need more people!
:LMAO:

Quote
Future plans include a focus on "tween" rides (flat rides)
THANK GOD!

Quote
2008 will include a focus on Hurricane Harbor
Very happy to see this.

Quote
A version of Kodak?s photo pass will be coming to Great Adventure - just like Disney's.
FREE PICTURES!

Quote
Package pickup will be available.
Like what Disney does?

Quote
They are considering a major Dark Ride in the future
Why not just fix the one we have? It needs a refurb!

Quote
Rolling Thunder should be opening with 4 trains
It's been a long time.

Quote
There is a MAJOR focus on ride uptime.  They are serious about all trains running when possible with better reliability.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

How can you be skeptical about Robin not opening with the park? Also what's so funny about them having the budget to hire more people?

well it is sad to hear that the old line for kK will not be back but on the other hand if they can get 4 trains running tha really would be amazing !!

As for hiring more people hell if I lived closer I would send my kids there for a job.
