This whole project really is a mess. Hopefully a year from now everything will be up and running smoothly and we'll forget about all the problems but until then this really is just disappointing.

Skyline Scream is now open, just the two Intamin coasters left to open now. SBB now looks finished too, it just needs to do more testing.

Is TMNT operating consistently right now? I saw that it had opened with the park but then had been down for a bit.

From what I've seen... Shellraiser is the only one running reliably. I'm gonna try and visit the park in a few weeks... but I'm keeping mt expectations mega-low.....just in case everything is a bust <3

Update: looks like the full admission price has raised to $60, but they introduced a $35 twilight admission which will get you in for the last three hours of operation:

American Dream - Fantasy, Fashion, Food, Family, and Fun

The unrivaled destination for indoor family entertainment - Nickelodeon theme park, DreamWorks Water Park, indoor skiing - located close to New York City.

I saw a Reddit thread where a visitor claimed (with photo provided) that there were around 30 people at the park during their evening visit. Your mileage will vary, but it's good info if you're planning a trip.

Looks like the pipe is now open - https://rcdb.com/16794.htm - at least, to RCDB.
The indoor ski area, Big Snow has also opened - https://www.americandream.com/venue/big-snow

Half Pipe is open from reports I've seen on Instagram. Sandy has been testing quite frequently too. Shouldn't be too much longer before everything's up and running.

[CrashCoaster]

Holy **** that launch...

 

[Hixee]

Yeah, that looks like it's got quick a kick to it!

 

[Lofty]

Did not expect that - I definitely was expecting a triple launch or something, that's really cool.

 

[Niles]

Here is some off ride footage, showing the turntable and reverse launch. That launch does look good.

 

[Matt N]

Wow! Everyone may have been talking about Shellraiser, but I think Sandy's Blasting Bronco could be the sleeper hit of the park's coasters!

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

That is one powerful launch!

 

[Edward M]

Ahhh, I haven't watched the videos, so I can be surprised when I visit! Anyone know when this is supposed to open? And also is the half pipe running consistently yet? I'm done with my semester this Saturday, so I'd love to be able to visit next week and get a +5!

For real, gonna try and go next Thursday on my way back to Orlando from Boston (doing that -3 hour pass)

 

[Antinos]

I honestly thought it was sped up a bit during my first view but that doesn't appear to be the case. The exit to the second inversion really has a whip to it as the train levels out, and that turntable is quite swift.

 

[Lofty]

One downside is... that throughput is shocking.

Good point @CrashCoaster Sorry, @Lofty.



I wonder if they'll just run it forwards only most of the time during busy days...?
