I'd like to see Joker's Jinx pulled from America and brought to GA. Set it up in the Gotham City area with the same name or set it up as Flight of Fear like Kings Dominion over by Superman and Green Latern for that Air Force theme. A Wild Moose from RMC would be a fantastic addition to the Golden Kingdom area. I would certainly love to see Skull Mountain get a refresh.
I would love if Great Adventure did double sided lockers for Nitro, they could put them next the the Photo Booth, where the queue meets the exit of the ride. The bags are the main problem for the loading process, and it helps that there would be a attendant to height check, check for bags, hat glasses, drink cups etc. Also nothing should be put on the platform, basically what Cedar Fair does for their newest coasters, except make the lockers free. And every coaster that requires lockers should have free double sided lockers, it can work in their queues!
I would like to see some improvements like 1.) Skull Mountain receiving the Dark Koaster treatment. Multi launch and theming. 2.) Re-establish of the original Flash Pass queues at Nitro. 3.) Definitely more flat rides or, at least a new multi launch coaster similar to, maybe Pantheon. And 4.) And you mentioned this already Colin, a Scan membership to refill your drinks, like at Hershey, to avoid those who abuse stations. Especially at Yum Yum. 5.) Better dining options.
If the state is being difficult about the lockers system, maybe make some sort of day or year pass for them. It's annoying to pay the money when somebody can't hold the items on a ride every time. I know my idea may be flawed but the whole locker system needs some sort of change.
As for Justice League being buggy, all the interactive dark rides from the time period it was built are buggy and it's always the same bugs. Six Flags has never been big on adding updates to fix the bugs. They just put in a call to maintenance, get it reset and continue running. Maybe that will change with the merger. I agree there has always been a problem with cohesive theming. The situation with Superman and Green Lantern, let us ignore Medusa/Bizzaro, shows the lack of thought given to theming. The Batman Stunt Show arena is used every season for cheerleading and band award shows. The area you call dead is also the only part of the park that showcases what the park looked like when it opened. Yes, it has gone downhill. I would suggest bringing back some of the flat rides that were removed and theming the area to a carnival.
I say give skull moutain a pirate theme, lean into the "themed" area with swashbuckler and the jolly rodger. It could be a pretty small retheme like medusa, but it would give that whole area a face lift. Then you could add a snack stand or some sort of family flat ride back there and it would look so much better. butttttt I think they have bigger priorites. They should definetly work on the area by nitro first, and that kids area next to Jersey Devil. It just looks bad, and thats not the presentation you'd want to have on families who are spending the most money. Add more trees and get rid of the bugaboo and raja's rickashaw, put in something that looks nicer and can fit 5-7 year olds
How about fixing the waterfall rock wall on Congo Rapids at the end so the tube riders have a chance to get soaked alot more. It use to work and was awesome but I'm sure it's a union maintenance problem .
Totally agree on Skull Mountain, to be honest all it would really need is a cool indoor lighting package to make the ride feel like something totally unique and new! Kinda sad that all the SFX from the original opening are long gone.
I bet a B&M Hulk-cloned coaster called Mr. Freeze: The Blast Coaster will be put in Batman Stunt Show for Summer 2025 at Great Adventure. The track will be colored light blue while the supports are blue. The trains will be colored while the seats are black, orange B&M vest restraints. The seats are raised such that riders feet dangle above the floor, providing a sense of freedom. The launched lift hill of the ride accelerates riders up to 40 mph (64 km/h) in two seconds, and the coaster eventually reaches a maximum speed of 67 mph (108 km/h). It features seven inversions throughout the course of the 3,670-foot-long (1,120 m) ride, which was positively received when it opened. Guests walk into Snowy's Cones by passing under the mouth. Inside the factory, guests make a left turn and start on the lower level, where they approach some paths. In the center, there is a mixer and four flavor containers. These containers are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and orange. Guests turn right and pass through a hallway with spray paint walls. An outdoor section of the queue can be found in this hallway. Guests go up some ramps and navigate through the upper level. Along the way, there is a sign that says Home Of The Big Freeze. Now on the upper level, guests can get views of the lower level, the mixer and the flavor containers. Guests then head into the station, where they board the ride. After boarding, the train moved into another area of the station themed as a freeze gun, while a recording of Mr. Freeze was played anxiously stating, "You are the common cold, and we are the cure". Alarms began to go off inside the accelerator as Mr. Freeze yells "THE ICE MAN COMETH!" The last shoot was synchronized with the tire-propelled launch mechanism, which propelled the train from 0 to 40 mph (0 to 64 km/h) in 2 seconds at an upward angle exiting the station. Immediately after exiting the tunnel, the train entered a zero-g roll inverting element and plunged down a 105-foot (32 m) drop. The train then reached a top speed of 67 miles per hour (108 km/h), followed by a cobra roll over the park's main lagoon. The train then proceeded through a vertical loop, followed by a subterranean tunnel full of mist. Upon exiting the tunnel, the track encircled the station, sending the train into a corkscrew and a second vertical loop, which wrapped around the mid-course brake run and was flanked by two over-banked turns. This led into the mid-course brake run slowing the train before descending another hill into a second corkscrew and a turn-around. The train then tilted sideways during the final stretch of track as riders passed an on-ride camera and entered a helix, which ended at the coaster's final brake run.
SFGA missed the opportunity with skull mountain. They could make the indoor theme changeable for the holidays. Halloween themed and Christmas theme with simple decorations/animatronics. When it comes to the ride theming GA has always been lazy. Even with dark knight, the theming and set decorations it’s lackluster and lazy.
El Toro's queue could easily be redo, especially sine the exit path is pretty far from everything and giving it a bit of love and the double-sided lockers would give it it a bit more without adding a new ride (although that should be in the card)
Justice League scoreboard definitely needs work. It just looks cheap. No reason there can't be some nice Justice League background graphics and better text. I personally would just like Great Adventure to improve theming and they seem to be focusing on that soon. Of course, I'd like to see Skull Mountain get a 2.0 upgrade with new effects and maybe even a slightly different layout or updated track/trains. Make it a proper dark ride coaster!
Joker and Superman could definitely both use some sort of single rider lane. Plenty of times I'm in line as a single rider. And I see trains get launched with open seats because A group of three got on. And behind them was another group of two or more. They could use some sort of single rider filler line. As in a line for only single riders. And you get pulled on to fill open seats. So you wouldn't have as much choice where you sat in the train. But you'd get on faster as a seat filler.
@@nightwing6153 During busy park days (especially spring break) where rides have long lines, single rider lines would be so good at most rides. Kingda Ka can be 30 minutes to an hour wait constantly during spring break and almost every train is sent with at least one empty seat.
If that were the case, the park should just be themed after Warner Brothers entirely. The general consensus is definitely against DC theming at the Six Flags Parks, rides with original theming give the park a better sense of identity as opposed to names that have been used over and over again with minimal real theming
@@ColiwoodStudios DC theming is one of the major selling points for going to the park for me. If they were to remove the DC theming, I would definitely go less. And I would no longer buy any merchandise. As all the merch I buy at Six Flags is DC Comics related.
Even if Green Lantern can't be converted into a Surf Coaster, they could still give it a surfing theme-but then you're stuck with what to do with Superman
The crowd flow is usually controlled by a Flash Pass attendant, technically it's already there but you are also putting someone in charge of line management at a ride they are not always at.
@@coaster_crusader The flash pass attendant is at the bottom of the stairs leading into the station but there isn’t an attendant at the top of the stairs managing the occupancy in the station.
I think implementing a single rider filler line could fix/speed up the Superman cue. A line for only single riders, where you don't get to pick where you sit. But you would be used as seat filler. So if a group of two or three gets on and leaves empty seats. You'd get pulled onto the ride faster to fill those seats.
Wish they had a locker season pass option. Pay one price and get unlimited access to lockers for the year. They have a daily locker pass option so why not one for the season?
I totally agree, everytime I have to pay the two bucks just to ride Toro, Devil, Ka, Joker, it sucks. I would benefit from a locker pass and so would a lot of others.
Instead of adding two sided lockers they should have zero lockers. What they should do is add cubbies to the load platforms so guests don't have to pay extra to store their bags, hats, wallets, or other loose articles while on the ride. Six Flags New England had that same problem as well. Ride attendants at the entrances to Batman: The Dark Knight, The Riddler's Revenge, and Superman: The Ride wouldn't even let us hold onto our bag of waterpark swimwear while waiting in line so we had to trust them to look after it. Nothing was stolen thankfully, but I will never do that again, nor do I recommend it to anyone.
At a park like Great Adventure, being forced to store your items in a place where their safety isn’t guaranteed won’t work. They would also slow down operations big time
As a former ride op at great adventure the lockers have two main purposes. 1 safety you don’t want people bring stuff on the ride then they fall off and also to speed up load and unload times to improve throughput. With cubbies you would have to go through the train put ur stuff down the go back on the train this takes minutes trust me
New England isn’t a strict as Great Adventure. At New England as long as I showed the worker outside I had zippered pockets they would let me keep my phone and credit card. Great Adventure doesn’t allow that. They didn’t even like me putting the slip of paper telling me my locker number in my tennis shoe. But they will let you bring a Six Flags refillable cup up to the ride platform; it can even be in a bottle sling. But don’t put your phone or keys also in that sling with the refillable cup because that’s not allowed. They say it’s state law, but it’s the stupid things like being able to put the return slip in my shoe. Or how the Six Flags refillable cup is ok they even have a special storage area for them on the platform but if it’s 100 degrees out you can’t bring a water bottle. Or I can’t put my keys in the cup (and yes they will search your cup) that really make it feel like it is all about nickel and dimming the visitors.
@ColiwoodStudios I disagree. I've been to other parks like Six Flags Great America and Kings Island, where they did have cubbies in most of their ride stations, and they didn't have slow operations at all. They also did work as they would lock the cubbies when the train left and then unlock them when the train returned. If it can work at those parks, it can work here also.
@@RomarScott I've been to other parks, including ones also owned by Six Flags, that had cubbies on the station and didn't have slow operations at all. So if it would slow things down for you guys, then you must not be doing something correctly.

Another thing would be removing some of the bamboo, or maybe a small new area, so you would see Kingda Ka’s launch, and maybe a repaint.
lockers should be halfway through the queue, especially for rides that usually have long wait times

i’m pretty sure they are revamping the ferris wheel for 2024 🎉🎉🎉

Fix the walking paths. My scooter takes a beating, Fix the concrete walkways by smoothing them out.
After being in the wheelchair, I absolutely agree with you there
Thx. Great video. How about some food and merchandise improvements. Eg upgrade vip lounge offerings and Mobile food ordering needs some work as well.
SFGA missed the opportunity with skull mountain. They could make the indoor theme changeable for the holidays. Halloween themed and Christmas theme with simple decorations/animatronics.

Even with dark knight, the theming and set decorations it’s lackluster and lazy.
They honestly could’ve been like Fiesta in terms of theming but unfortunately missed the opportunity to do it
How about fix the aim on the guns for Justice league!
YES pls
Change the maps so that they tell you where you currently are. Navigating Great Adventure is so annoying because they don't do that.
El Toro's queue could easily be redo, especially sine the exit path is pretty far from everything and giving it a bit of love and the double-sided lockers would give it it a bit more without adding a new ride (although that should be in the card)

Change Congo Rapids back to Roaring Rapids.
Put the height signs back on Nitro’s lift hill.
Have a museum/ 50th merch in one of the tents.
Riding Skull Mountain makes me sad. I remember how thematic it was when I was a kid.
I’ve been hearing that the old splash pad in Golden Kingdom will be either demoed for the 50th or by 2024 off-season
Interesting I hope so
Another idea could be them adding single rider lines to more attractions especially for busy days.

Move Tango to the area near that clock fountain.
What is going on with that barnstormer ride ?
They should just let us open lockers with our passes, the same way universal does
I don’t think they have enough lockers tbh
