    Seems the GP are in the same boat. I have heard a few comments to the extent of I thought this was supposed to be a coaster.

    2020 Should be a massive year for the park. That area is now WIDE open for just about any kind of coaster they want.

    I'd say here comes a Skywarp but Discovery Kingdom's had a lot of issues.

    We decided to end our 2018 season at Great Adventure today. We made a day of it. We started at the Silverball pinball museum in Asbury Park. What a blast from the past!! They had pinball machines from the 50s 60s and 70s that I played during my college days. There was also vintage video games. We bought one hour unlimited play for $12.50. Worth every penny.

    Next was Aquaman at an AMC dine in theater. It was our first time for that. It is an interesting concept. The food was ok to good and I would do it again. Aquaman was pretty good. And I would recommend seeing it.

    When the movie was over it was getting dark and time for Great Adventure. We spent two hours there with light to medium crowds. We continually noticed that the Great Adventure event is vastly superior to SFNE and LC. They have better rides open, better lights, Skyway open for incredible viewing, a better tree and a better entry show.

    It is a long drive for us but it was well worth it as we went 3 for 3 on good times.

    sounds liek a good time.

    If you like the dine in theater concept there is a local chain called Chunky's that have food and drinks you can order and enjoy while watching a movie.

    We liked the concept - Chunky's is NH only so no help here. CT has some AMC dine ins we might use.
