It's confirmed for Mem Day weekend on Wikipedia, with a source (spposedly) from the Six Flags Entertainment Corp. here:

Page 33 mentions the same date.
Today was Opening Day & so I went early to get some fab photos & film a little something for all you lovelies.
I arrived before anyone else, including the staff.
Click to enlarge:
Track's complete.
Looks kinda square from this angle...
...but it's not.
Loopage.
Inversions.
A slightly closer look.
Dive loop.
Is that yellow?
With a some green on top?
What's that building back there?
Massive supports.
It's a long way to the top.
Station...
...has a way to go yet.
Up, around & down.
Sorta symmetrical.
That yellow is not staying.
The train storage building also has a way to go.
Obligatory porta-potty photo.
More inversions.
Click to enlarge.
Close up.
Not so close up.
Another close up.
MCBR & turn around.

That's all folks!

Oh, well I just failed then! Haha.
After work this morning I headed back to Great Adventure to see the progress made on Green Lantern to share with all you lovely peeps.
I was first to arrive at the park because who in their right mind would go this early on Easter Sunday?
They've started laying asphalt at the base of the coaster.
I was hoping for some nice shrubbery & landscaping, but this is Six Flags so... :roll:
They painted the top bit of the corkscrew white.
Doesn't the station seems a bit small for such a huge coaster? :?
No real changes to the storage building.
Everything back here still looks much like it did on Opening Day a couple of weeks ago,
Here's some photos from where the entrance tp GASM was taken through cutouts & holes in the wooden fence.
I'm thinking that building will be a snack bar for the queue line.
They've removed the wooden fence that blocked the view from the Superman queue.
Should be quite a view of the coaster if I'm correct about that building.
The exit ramp only makes the station look a little bigger from this side.
It will be cool if the timing is right & Superman is dropping from the lift hill at the same time as Green Lantern does the loop.
The lamas will have a nice view of the coaster, but I will miss the horny tortoises. :lol:
I decided to take a ride on the wild bull before leaving, but the path from Kinga Ka was blocked now that they've moved the tigers to the safari & removed the kiddie playground.
So I had to go the long way around & I noticed that they've closed the 3-D theater ride...
...and Eruption is gone, but will be replaced by a standard Slingshot ride later this year.
The tiger cages are now the Safari Discoveries walk-thru area where you can view sea lions, a parakeet aviary, a Wild Safari nursery featuring exotic animal babies & other critters like skunks, rabbits, hedgehogs & snakes.
On to El Toro!
I was only going to ride it once, but since it was walk on...
... & so empty that I got in 9 rides without getting off the train before heading home for some much needed sleep.

Sorry for the quality of the photos & video, but I wasn't planning on doing this today & didn't have my cameras with me so all these are taken with my phone.

It does look very sexy. That green track and those black supports look awesome. Do we know what the colours are going to be on that corkscrew yet? I also see what you mean about the station, but then again, Nitro's station is hardly huge is it? It does look funny with such a small building.
Looks great. I'm jealous of you getting on El Toro (again!) though!

Looks great, but I'm in concurrence with you about the station; that's small. Like, Batman: The Dark Knight small. And I hate that station. :roll:
Jealous of your walk-ons with the bull, too. I have not gone to Great Adventure a damn day when it's not crowded (and don't ask me about the day I went when there was a concert...)
