What a bummer that so many rides were closed. 😣 Fun fact: I’ve always been a coaster enthusiast so my kids were all introduced early to them. Last year, we went to SFGA and my youngest daughter, who was 9, was actually tall enough to ride all of the coasters. She was so tired of being the only one who couldn’t ride so she was excited to ride them all. The one I was worried about was KK so I told her if she could handle Nitro, I’d let her ride KK. 😏 Well, not only did she handle Nitro, she LOVED IT so we headed over to KK. We were next in line and it broke down!! She was so bummed so we decided to wait it out and after about 15 minutes, it was up and running again. She had a blast!!

@leela no one but hopefully my comment will help other parents not be so scared to allow their kids to ride these larger coasters. The younger they can ride, the better as long as they are safe and fit the weight and height of the ride.

[@StinnerMatjest]

Being at a theme park where everything is closed is how sleep paralysis must feel for an enthusiast

[@Porcf81]

I’ve got to say, you are a class act. Being completely sleep deprived and face with so many disappointments, you did a good job keeping a great attitude and not hating on the park. I’ve been in that exact situation and it can be tough. There is a reason I avoid parks early in the season. LOL.

[@CoasterStudios]

Thank you. I try to always look on the positive side of things and try to understand what the reason is for us not having the “perfect day” and look at what would’ve made it better. It’s not always in our control (aka, weather), and there’s nothing the park can do about that. It just happens sometimes!

[@MaxThrills]

The idea of just not sleeping does come across our minds from time to time

I grew up with GA in my back yard, worked at the park from 92 to 98. 75% of thier staff are high school students. For that reason it always has a slow start at the beginning of the year.

[@zander_19]

I came to the park the same day u were there and the main reason why operations were so terrible was because they weren’t allowed to run the trains unless everyone had their mask on, which some people had problems with.

It is funny you mentioned that about their mine train as the scariest head chopper moment in my life is on Cedar Creek Mine Ride at the end of the final helix. Just when things are being extremely tame... THEN BAM! It makes it even more shocking! It is an underrated moment but the rest of the ride is ok.

[@TheDeviousDrDoom]

COASTERSTUDIOS IS A BABA BOOEY!!!!!!!!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

When I went, El Toro, Kingda Ka, and Bizarro were closed. I am yet to ride any of those. Sorry you didn't have a great time.

[@jac_238]

Kingda Ka being down isn’t too surprising because it’s infamous for that. Bizzaro has the occasional downtime but not as bad as Kingda Ka. Every trip to Great Adventure I’ve been on except for the latest one, El Toro was up and running the entire day. On my latest trip during Hollowfest in October, El Toro was down most of the day, they did test runs with dummies but that was it. Finally reopened towards the end of the night and I got my first night ride on El Toro, it was amazing

[@SheaStern54]

I went last week, el toro was closed, so I went again on Thursday that ride’s a beast.

[@ChurchBoy55d2]

Bazarro is Madusa 2.0 only kinda the same lay out and not to mention that little corkscrew loop above the sign that they still use

[@nickbowers7832]

First, love to see the video about my home park, but sadly a lot was broken. El toro is open now too

[@oofintic5734]

I just hear a awwwwh when Taylor said Sarah lol

[@ethanhcomposer]

El Toro was closed during my visit and it sucked Ops were bad during spring break, and Bizzaro had a 5-7 minute dispatch I also sat on the brake run on Batman for at least 5 minutes too

[@jjop14-x]

My first time in SFGA was terrible, Kinda Ka stopped working after 1h waiting, then El Toro stopped working after 1 1/2h waiting, Nitro was packed, I just gave up and told myself that I would never come back... then I've been there many times😬. I truly have a love/hate relationship with this park. Kinda sucks driving 4h from VA to have all the great rides closed. I wish six flags America was better. That park needs something new and not a pendulum precisely.

[@rubygln4696]

We came the first Monday after opening with ridiculous winds in the morning. The first big coaster to open was GL like a good 45 minutes after opening. One train operations on pretty much everything except for Nitro which had 3 that stacked and had us on the brake run for a few minutes, it also started running like 3 hours after opening. Waited like an hour with one train operations for Bizzaro, the longest line of the day besides superman which we waited until the end of the day to ride. Also, 10-minute operations on Wonder Woman? Our salvation was a front-row ride on kingda ka, which I had never ridden before, and because it's been 3 years since I've ridden dragster, it was an absolutely incredible experience. But at least Batman was consistent.

[@stephensarmento3529]

had a similiar experience this year at busche gardens in Tampa. you pay good money to be able to go on all these rides and none of.them end up operating. some serious discounts should be available when you expect to have a good day at the park just to waste time for nothing to be open...

[@GMDVinny]

They are understaffed. It seems as though that’s a New Jersey thing in general for parks

[@nazjai9333]

I was here in April during there night event & I was so happy el toro was open. I love that ride but I definitely save it for last because I’m usually sore after. I went back last week & el toro was closed I heard it came off the tracks recently

[@ThrillRidez]

Happened to me last year! First day the power was out and nothing ran. Second day was better though! Weird park and good rides when they run

[@ibanezguitars360]

Bruh that suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. I've only visited this park one time. In 2019. I was honestly blown away by how much i enjoyed this park. And i live literally right between cedar point and Kings island. almost middle ground. Would love to make it back there again.

[@jayson7136]

Only bizzaro was closed Friday, Superman was shut down most of the day but some people went on it (not me). The gp loves the joker here for no reason no matter how bad it is and how much it’s closed. Kingda ka and zoominjaro was even open Friday (first ride of both, it took me long enough) come back in like May-July there will be shorter waits and most rides open every day, plus jersry devil will prolly be open by july

[@lucasimone6106]

That really sucks 😖 I was at the park like literally one day before you and everything was open except for Bizarro

[@389Tman389]

They’re very understaffed. They flew in Fiesta Texas ride ops and hired a bunch of temporary security. It was weird seeing all the fiesta Texas ride ops in our hotel.

[@jac_238]

Damn Fiesta Texas? Surely it would’ve been cheaper to get staff from Darian Lake, Great Escape, New England and America

[@authordjl7474]

They have temporary ops from almost every park

[@AmazedBunion]

I was there 2 days ago and the rides weren't down. Nitro went down briefly and king da ka went down for an hour for tests. It was pretty crowded with super long waits though.

[@povmase5762]

taylor got really unlucky...we went to kingda ka at about 1015 that day.. it was running and it was basically a walk on ...went on it 4 times then saw taylor and crew walking towards it probably around 11 am...and it must of went down for maintenance right as he got there

[@CoasterStudios]

right as we walked into the queue it broke down lol

[@MessyMondanoGaming]

I went the first Monday it was open and got great rides on almost everything, I even got to see a rollback on Kingda Ka while i was in line

[@ethandougherty6971]

I went last week and my experience was well... awful. The only ride I truly wanted to ride was bizarro and el toro, yet they were both closed the entire day

[@jensor06]

I remember they used to have a shuttle bus for their employees from the Philly area years and years ago so they’d have enough staff.

[@PoshLife123]

Great Adventure seriously needs to update the Runaway Train so that adults can actually fit in it. A Big Thunder Mountain type upgrade to the track and trains would be perfect.

[@katrinaward4035]

8:37 the people in the background wondering what’s going on right now

[@Jason_Maier]

Strange day for you for sure. As for Batman; strange to hear it stacking. Usually dispatches for B&M Inverts are quick (I still recall that video you did on ride dispatch times for Cedar Point where Raptor dispatched in 50 seconds!). And those corkscrews on the Batman clones are intense.

[@jac_238]

Whenever I get to Great Adventure, Batman always seems to have a longer line than the other rides there (Superman is usually a longer wait because it’s a flying coaster). It’s worse on a hot day because you have to wait in the stairwell

[@authordjl7474]

As someone who works Batman, I want to let you know that the stacking is, as Taylor guessed, due to short staffing, with the attendant also taking on grouper responsibilities. It's no one's fault, but just wanted to let you know.

[@Gelunix]

Didn't watch the whole thing yet, but I was here on the 8th and they were triple stacking trains on Nitro.. :/ everything else was either a 5 min wait or walk on but I sat in the Nitro line for about an hour because of their ops. Not sure if that's usually what they do as there is a mid course on the ride but everything else was fine for me.

[@authordjl7474]

Same as the stacking at Batman, it's because of short staffing. When schools start to let out and more people are available to work, coasters will have enough employees to put on a grouper and speed up dispatches.

[@TheCoasterCraze]

Glad you noticed the runaway mine train ejector hill haha

[@katrinaward4035]

[@IronManiac]

Left buffalo at 3:30 enroute to Great Adventure yesterday. Get pulled over in NJ for "speeding" however the cop had clearly been following us since we parked to answer a text a couple miles back considering we literally saw him and he let us off with a warning. Probably thought we were suspicious or something. Get to the hotel only to learn that 18 y/o's can't check in to any NJ hotel. We also couldn't find a PA hotel that could do the same, so we had nowhere to spend the night and it was already 11 so going farther out would've been useless. Being stranded we headed to the boardwalk at Atlantic City in the middle of the night, then spent the night with 4 of us in a honda civic in the walmart parking lot. We probably got roughly 2.5 hours quality sleep each. Next morning woke up and realized the headlights had been left on all night and the car battery was dead, so we couldnt even get to park at opening cause we called AAA. Finally we got to the park, and fortunately the only major coaster down was Bizarro. That said some of the operations were atrocious, including some terrible ride ops on Batman who were holding trains in the station cause dumbass teenagers kept clicking the seatbelts and annoying them. Finally get out of the park to drive home cause we have nowhere to stay only to get pulled over 2 more times cause of a burned out headlight, probably from the night before. The fact that this video was the first thing I saw upon returning home was perhaps the most refreshing thing I've ever seen. I can really understand where you're coming from here
