This is my home park and you're absolutely right about everything. When it's crowded--holy cow, the lines become unmanageable. It has been like this ever since I started coming in the early 2000s. My wife and I just went to Cedar Point for the week and it was such a refreshing change. I hope the merger elevates Six Flags and doesn't diminish Cedar Fair, but I'm not optimistic. By the way, I was interested to hear you worked at Geauga Lake. I worked at Sea World Ohio for a year back in 1996 as a "show operator" (sound booth guy), before the acquisition by Six Flags and the merger with Geuaga Lake. Lots of good memories.
Thanks for the comment! I hope the merger improves the quality of Six Flags parks instead of dragging them down. Hopefully, in a few years, we'll see whether this merger has a positive or negative impact on our home parks.
Looking at this now, so much has changed especially with Ka's closure and how terribly they handled the closure. Also my visit in July was pretty much the same how your guys visit was. I don't ever have plans to return to this park in the future
We completely agree-it was incredibly disappointing to travel all that way only to experience such poor park quality, mismanagement, and lackluster customer service. It’s unfortunate because the park has the potential to be something great. Even with the new additions, it’s unlikely we’ll return.
So sad to see my home park in such a mess! I am actually going in this month, August, and glad I did the season pass just not to pay that astronomical price for parking! Maybe the Cedar Fair merger will straighten this out! One can hope!
The parking is wild-it's more expensive than Disney World! I guess everyone's footing the bill for all the new electric chargers. The location is stunning, with some amazing rides, and it has so much potential if they just cleaned it up a bit. Hopefully, the merger will bring the improvements it needs.
I know Six Flags New England doesn't get much hype, but it is one of the cleanest parks I've been too. Not as many coasters as other parks, but it has the best of the Superman coasters and Wicked Cyclone is top of many RMC hybrids lists. And seems to be better layout walking wise...plus, the food is pretty good for what it is. Pricing? Same as other Six Flags parks...though you can park and walk to the main entrance for $10 to $20 for the day in the local businesses. I get a season pass, season flash pass and season dining pass....all for under $300 when they are on sale. That is free parking and free drinks included. I could bump it up to the All Parks Season Passes if I actually went to other parks again!
@@dinklifeusa If you make an announcement that you are going, I'll give you a tour and history of the park, but won't interfere with your VLOG experience. :)
This park has been running poorly this year but it had been running well for some time. I feel people are too hard on SF parks. Their parks are good for what they are and that’s thrills. If you’re into the atmosphere then it’s not the type of park to go to. Unless you go to a smaller park like the great escape.
@@dinklifeusaI mean tbf, CP and KI are some of the best parks in the country. I don’t disagree that GAdv should be better run, but hopefully with the CF merger it should be better soon
@@dinklifeusa I’ve never been to either unfortunately so I can’t compare. Best cedar fair park I’ve been to is Canada’s wonderland and California’s great America plus Knotts berry farm
When a place charges more than Disney World for parking and its primary landscaping plant is poison ivy, with the park filled with commercial-sized dumpsters and several rides that need to be condemned, it's clear the park has been poorly managed for years, as others have also mentioned. It's important to inform the general public to avoid visiting this place.
@@dinklifeusahere’s my problem with this. First the rides. Skyway needed heavy refurbishment going into this season but with how much they have going on for the 50th you can’t fault them for doing nothing with it this year. Giant wheel is now open and got massive refurbishment this year. As for why it took so long is because six flags corporate always does stuff later. It’s their strategy for people to come back later in the year. I do agree that it should’ve been open earlier but it’s not really in great adventure’s control like a lot of stuff is. The same goes for flash and log flume. As for the other rides like zumanjaro, Wonder Woman, and Houdini they just need parts. You’re not going to have spare parts for every single part and it takes time to get these parts. There’s just nothing they can do about that. All parks are like that. Oh and cyborg is closed because of flash construction. None of these rides are closed for no reason. I understand being upset not getting to ride everything but you really can’t blame the park for that and it’s only a few rides closed. But people act like most of the park is closed. As for how the park looks I know it’s not like a cedar fair park but I don’t think it’s a bad looking park either. They have done a lot of improvements this year and the biggest thing is probably dream street. In prior years you had to go around where by Rita’s is to get into that area since there was a paintball building there before. But now you can walk straight through. The park president is always their and he’s a really nice guy talking to us. Like Great adventure has the best operations out of any six flags or cedar fair park by far. Cedar fair uses IROC for their operations which slows down dispatch’s. So great adventure does really well there and The parks leadership does care about great adventure but again corporate are the ones that hold these parks back. I do agree they should remove poison Ivy so kids don’t step in it and the parking price is steep. Luckily I still have my legacy memberships that they discontinued years ago but they’re so cheap compared to what they have now. But yeah I have been going to this park for years and I do want it to be the best it can be. However seeing the GP overacting just makes me roll my eyes at this point but this is really nothing new. They say great adventure is terrible because Back in the 90’s and the 2000’s great adventure did look better and had a good amount of shows. While I do agree with that the park still has a great collection of rides which they have been adding to. Like going into the 2010’s the park needed flat rides and they added a ton but people will still tell me that the park barely has any flat rides. I know this was long but just wanted to express how I feel.
@@Starlit43 Thank you for your comment! This park is wonderful for locals, but I don't think it's worth spending money on travel and hotel accommodations just to visit. The park is not in the best condition, despite having great rides. Most vloggers we follow never mention the park's poor state; if they had, we wouldn't have visited. While we don't have a large following, it's important to warn others about spending their hard-earned money on this place.
@@Starlit43I am a coaster enthusiast and great adventure is my home park. I have one main question for you. You touched on a few issues, like the ferris wheel not being open, and said it's not Six Flags fault. How is it not their fault and who's fault is it?? It's their 50th anniversary, they should have started what they wanted to do a long time ago so we wouldn't be where we are now, the summer being close to over and the park still looking like sh*t. Great Adventure was Six Flags second most visited park and we haven't gotten a new ground up coaster in 18 YEARS! Kings Dominion has their 50th coming up next year and they just announced a launched custom layout B&M wing coaster. For our 50th they weren't planning on anything, not a single thing. The awful capacity Super Boomerang was sold to a park overseas who wound up not being able to take the ride, so Six Flags jumped on it because it was cheap. If that park overseas didn't close down, we wouldn't be getting sh*t coaster wise. Although that may have been for the best because there's no way in hell I'm waiting 3+ hours to ride that boomerang anyway so it's all the same to me.
Was at the park yesterday at the time of writing this, park closes at 10 now and most of the closed rides are opened now as well as superman is running 2 trains. You did catch the park at a sort of odd time where they were still refurbishing stuff, this is my home park so obviously I have some bias to it but I'd go back when flash opens, it'll be a bit better. And yeah operations are a bit crappy sometimes but whatever lol I love it. Only 10 minutes away lol.
Still not as bad as Six Flags over Ga. Only place where I saw staff bullying a man with vitiligo and guests who looked like they were about to fight random people.
@@dinklifeusayou did come at an bad time this is my home park and we got season passes there has been only one day I’ve been here where it was bad but the park is very good I love it anyway have a good day
It's the park management is horrible. The parks president is pathetic. I'm just hoping with this merge things will change for Great Adventure. I mean they are still building the flash and it's quickly coming up to end season and it's still not built fully. They really dragged their feet with this project and totally missed the mark.
Sounds about right. I haven’t been there in over 10 years. It sounds the same. The same great coasters (nothing great has been added in 10 years.) The same dirty park. It hasn’t been well run in DECADES.
We agree it’s wild how they have some amazing coasters, but the rest of the park is so poorly maintained. I’ve never been to a park with so much junk and trash stored around the bases of the coasters. I wouldn’t recommend anyone spend the money to travel to a Six Flags park, especially with the cost of hotels. After visiting Six Flags Great Adventure, it's clear that Six Flags parks are best for locals only, and no one should go out of their way to visit such poorly kept parks.
so if you haven't been here in 10 years, then how could you say it's the "same dirty place" with no great additions? Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth (2019), Jersey Devil Coaster (2021), The Flash: Vertical Velocity (New for 2024). Maybe it's time for you to revisit. :)

I will never go back if they demolish the SKYRIDE. I have been riding it for 50 years.
We can’t understand why parks remove sky rides-they're so relaxing and offer amazing views!

Get a season pass it’s not that more expensive and you can get free parking every time you come

You should do a tier list video of all the parks you’ve been to!
We should Astro we have been to a lot of them now. Our suggestion is never travel or go out of your way to go to a Six Flags park!

Wow! I went to Darien Lake Six Flag Last Summer and it was really rough place too.
Six Flags will hurt Cedar Fair
Hopefully not but the Six Flags parks are in rough shape.

Shut up
Oh wow, that one must be really bad. We went to Darien Lake last year, and it was terrible.
six flag can kiss my ass, it is a humiliation that pay high price for rude staffs flash light search me ! very ridiculous ! never again !
After our experience, we’ll definitely never go back.
The ferris wheel was working in a vid i watched a few days ago when was this vid taken??
