You can get the Azumah buses as linked above. I just getting a single back to NYC as I'll be getting the train from Philadelphia then getting a taxi from Trenton.

For whatever it's worth - renting a car will always be the recommended play for getting to SFGAdv. Yes there's an age limit typically of 25 (though I think in NY you can rent at 18?) - but it's by far the most convenient, time effective way to visit from NYC, Philadelphia, etc. What's more, there's a lot of good EV rentals out there, meaning you can just cannonball it in one fell swoop, and not need to worry about refueling! (Our own move two years back during a PA/NJ coaster trip)

Sketchy stuff at the commercial shoot today;


Rumor is that it failed inspection with the state/failed to gain guest clearance at the last possible minute so their way of getting around it is to hire and fire a bunch of thoosies . Apparently it's also been delayed by a few hours, the 9:00 group still wasn't on at noon.

Seems odd. If the 'failed inspection' thing is far fetched, could it just be an insurance thing?

Might be more technical since we're seven hours out now and apparently it hasn't run period. Commercial filming for all intents and purposes was cancelled.

I mean, it looks fun. Definitely gonna be a rope drop ride though

Lots of fun riding this baby, but I had to take a break. Riding backward for that amount of time makes it difficult to marathon the coaster.
Here's our ridercam video. I'll post the off-ride footage in a day or two, and Scott and I will return to the park later this year to film our own POV.
@LiveForTheLaunch - Check out who I gave my seat to in the video!

Got to ride it yesterday, its a lot of fun. Line is gonna be miserable though. Definitely ran straight to it first thing at Park opening

C/P from last credit review topic.
New day, new credit(s). Rope drop at Great Adventure and ran to Flash. Would have been on the first train of the day but opted for a front seat ride. I really wanted to do a second one in the back but due to the horrifyingly bad operations of the ride, the queue had ballooned massively and I didn't have the energy to wait. That being said, I thought the ride was honestly a lot of fun and while maybe not a standout I think at some other parks, where capacity wouldn't be as crucial, this ride would be a winner. The Hang Time dropping off the first inversion was the highlight. Flash: Vertical Velocity #1,138

Having been to Great Adventure a million times and with the park recently ripping out half of its attractions, I left after a lap on Jersey devil, nitro, and the recently refurbished ferris wheel.
