I knew that Ka probably wouldn't be up. When I arrived, I was told by noon. But it never opened. Plus I missed some kiddy credit. None of that matters, though, because I have a new #1 coaster in El Toro. And besides, I'll get back up for Ka, the other credit, Much more Toro, and more re-rides on the coasters I liked with in the next year.
Oh, and this was the park I thought would be problematic, with long lines and rude people. I ended up having a great day with minimal lines and I love this park. On to the pictures.
Yay! I braved the PA/NJ turnpikes and survived!
So this is what you see when you get to the car park. And if you know what's good for you, it's the first coaster you should hit up as soon as the ropes drop.
I see you, giving me the Finger for me coming all this way and not opening.
So I was wrong. Ducks love 6 Flags too.
Here we are at Six Flags Great Adventure...
So I got to the park before the ropes dropped. I have to say, the opening midway was nice and different. I headed left to Superman first.
I actually liked this one better than oG's version, because the Pretzel didn't kill me.
Next up was the ride I was really there to ride. The Toro. Would I like it? Well of course I would, I've already mentioned its my new #1. But lets look at some pictures of this manly beast.
Everything about it is perfect. First drop is amazing. The hills have violent ejector air (especially the notorious one over Rolling Thunder), and the speed turns at the end inside Rolling Thunder were great to me, even if people say they're boring. I loved it all.
And while I'm thinking about it, Plaza Del Carnival and The Golden Kingdom are both VERY well done.
Next up was One side of Rolling Thunder. I rode the Yellow train which was much better, but the coaster was bla.
Rode the Sky Ride and Mine Train too. Very nice setting for it
Then it was Bizzaro. I rode it 3 times. Solid coaster, but most of the effects were just okay. The fire did nothing for me, the 'tunnel' was cool, and the thing in the corks were nice, oh, and the audio was decent. But the ride overall is good.
And, hey! They kept all the old themeing, LOL.
Did not ride. I'm so afraid of heights. It taunted and laughed at me all day, too.
And this...wasn't that bad? I kind of maybe liked Shockwave better, but it wasn't very rough. I got a good ride.
Awww...His friend just peed on the glass at everyone.
Log Flume was decent, and had a nice setting.
Two things are sadly missing from this picture.
Another coaster I was really impressed with. Not much to it, but it was really fun. The queue was cool too.
I've got a shot of this here:
And here:
Here too:
But not here. Boo.
So, yeah. Guess the other 3 parks.
This one isn't as good as oG's, but it was really good. The line was long, though. I ran into some geeks, one had a Voyage shirt on.
So much better than Apollo's Chariot. But not as good as the Other Bull, nor anywhere near as good as Goliath.
Mmm...Mmmm...Good!
I really enjoyed Dark Knight. It was fun and decently themed. LOVED the pre-show. Nice work, guys!
Credit.
See, unlike Apollo's Chariot, there is actually airtime on those hills.
Watched the dolphin show. It was a nice break, and very nicely done.
I've been Joker'd!
Heyyyy...Sorry gheys, I hear he's a minute man.
Now lets play "Spot Dainan!"
Or we could just ride El Toro some more. Yes. Let's ride The Toro.
Again, liked the flume.
They did change some of the theming, besides paint. Can you spot what went wrong when Bizarro took over?
And here is your award winning shot of El Toro!
The Boardwalk area was nice as well, especially all lit up at nite.
I didn't have any pix of him, but Bubba, another friend was there too. I had a great day, despite missing Ka, and can't wait to go back. Mostly for more of The Toro.
