We're back at Six Flags Great Adventure and we're seeing what progress has been made at the park! I had not visited since Memorial Weekend and to be honest, not much as honestly changed outside of Flash Vertical Velocity track work looking near completion and ready for testing. The park must have directed all their priorities towards getting this done as work on other attractions seems to have come to a crawl. They also recently opened the Safari Resort but I have not seen much of that anywhere online.
Nitro, Batman the Ride, Jersey Devil, Medusa and Kingda Ka were running as usual. Superman and Green Lantern had longer queues than usual. El Toro has been up and down lately for some reason. There's no entertainment on the weekends, just the Looney Tunes although I've heard some new things are coming like the dance party in July and a "not quite a parade" parade.

The Log flume is still closed! This is why I'm not paying a full priced ticket for a half opened park but that is just me.
Understandable!
I had one opportunity to go to SFGA this past March, but heard the majority of attractions would not be opened so I passed and glad I did. I heard only two coasters were open with the majority of food stands and other attractions closed. I was hoping to move my trip to this summer, but with the flume and other attractions still not opened, I think I will pass until Cedar Fair can clean this park up.
the park is so messy right now, definetly bit off more than they could chew. Seems like matinence was so so focused on getting the flash and log flume ready, that the other rides were neglected and are still missing a train (medusa, superman, el toro, nitro, green lantern)
however, the paint everywhere is looking great, aswell as landscaping and the new walkway, and im glad flash should be opened by the end of july
Agreed. It was an ambitious amount of projects to take on.
Kinda low key ticked i sprung for the season pass this year but hopefully it picks up
I feel that. It hasn't been the best season
Thanks for all the updates!! I haven't been able to get out to the park yet this year but at least I know I'm not missing too much yet :) I'm sure you'll have another video update now that all the new houses are announced but what do you think of them all coming? and do you think they'll do stranger things justice? :D
I think it's a lot to take on when last year's first foray into IP houses got mixed reactions. I don't think Universal did stranger things justice and they have way more budget than six flags. I expect light vignettes of the movie.
@@thrillsandmagic I think a lot of people have similar opinions. That's why I had to ask haha. I'm excited that they're getting bigger properties but also so nervous they won't have the ability to execute them the way they should be - especially when 4 out of the 6 announced properties have already had houses created at Halloween Horror Nights which you said is a much higher level they can create at. This should be a very interesting season and I'm nervously excited for it
So right now here’s how I view everything with great adventure. I’ll go through the positives and negative’s. This might be long. So for the 50th so far they have actually done a lot of improvements so far. I’ll put a list right here:
( Main Street market refresh
Carousel repainted
Dream street bricks and history
Toro/Ka pathway
Looney tunes live
Super man decals repainted
Green lantern decal repainted
Classic great adventure sign back
Mine train new sign
Repainted fortress
Safari base camp
Skull mountain exterior repainted
New lights in skull mountain
Roaring rapids new sign
Toro double sided lockers
Repainted heroes grill and Villains taverns building with new signs
Giant wheel repainted
Direction signs improved
3 new entertainment shows
50 Topiary’s
Six flags bus back)
So I have liked everything they have done so far. Yes there’s still a lot to improve to make it on par with the top cedar fair parks. Something I have really liked this year is how they’re using the characters. They don’t just meet by the fountain anymore. You can see them on dream street or in looney tunes live. They have them all dressed up in the 50th outfits and it’s really cute. Also was nice seeing Flash being a walk around character by justice league! It’s been years since we have seen DC characters in the park and apparently there’s job listenings for Batman and Wonder Woman too. So they did great there. As for the entertainment I do have some complaints. The main reason is capacity. All of these shows take place on the pathways with not enough places to sit so most people are just going to walk on by. They should be in the big arenas especially showcase theater since there’s AC. Also I would’ve liked some more unique shows but corporate probably said no to that. What they have is fine but I would’ve liked to see better. As for the projects that are on going still well you can blame that on corporate since last year they were still deciding how they wanted to do things. We all know flash is a last minute addition but I’m guessing everything else they’re working on was also impacted. Let’s just hope they open soon. As for coasters running trains they’re in a good spot now. Took them longer then usual but I think they’re good now. Medusa and Superman are still on one train unfortunately but everything else is on two trains from my understanding. Lastly that Mr six video six flags just made was incredible. They actually recorded that here. I guess that means mr six is back for six flags and maybe will see him back at the park this season? I mean the bus is there after all. But yeah so far I think this has been a good 50th. Yeah stuff still under construction is annoying but I still like everything the park has done. Sorry if I made this too long lol.
Thanks for being so thorough! I haven't seen even the park itself put together what's all going on!
The actual 50th celebration is on July 1st 🤘🏼
I was there the same day. It was my first trip of the year it was not the best day
Ugh I'm sorry dude
@@thrillsandmagic it was mostly the one train ops and the lines that really did it for me. I plan to be at New England and Great Escape in 2 weeks I probably won’t be back till after that
