Six Flags Great Adventure | Park Update | November 16th, 2024

[@DWillx23]

I think Ka’s closure would’ve been more accepted if the park were more transparent regarding its closure. A more advanced notice would’ve been nice for people to get their last rides in, and the reveal of what would be replacing it would give the park an idea of whether people would actually enjoy whatever is coming (please don’t be the Mack spinner tower). Regardless, Long Live the King 🐅

[@JorgenFitnesz]

I can’t believe it will never make that beautiful launch sound ever again

[@RCmaniac1231]

I still think this is a mistake to not get Intamin to re imagine this thing. At the very least I want whatever this new launch coaster is gonna be to be an Intamin because it’s about fucking time cedar fair management gets over their disdain for intamin.

[@dylpickle6123]

I wish I got to ride Kingda Ka. I was too scared to though 😂 I'll be watching these because I enjoy seeing the park evolve, just like when you did with jersey devil

[@CoasterNewsTV]

do you regret It???

[@Novakiller]

The fact that KA is closing and not being reimagined makes me very nervous for TT2. I really hope it’s just those structural issues with the train and not the magnets being nicked due to the wheel toe angle thing that Ryan the ride Mechanic talked about…😳

[@Jcjc-lr4bf]

I think if the replacement isn’t taller, faster, and just as eye catching… I literally don’t want it, it’d be an insult.

[@Chillguy99]

Wow, the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest amusement parks in the world. How are we going to celebrate this milestone? Why...tearing the park to pieces of course!!!

[@TheCoasterSpot]

Yup this has to be the worst 50th anniversary of any amusement park in history

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

It’s going to get ugly when people keep showing pictures of the back half the park empty all year hopefully all the negative pr and lower attendance form Ka gets Cedar Fair sit the hell down and not ruin the entire chain. They own a lot of parks they could destroy the enthusiast hobby entirely.

[@collinparsons3363]

Regarding Green Lantern, I agree that it could probably give many more years of good service to another park. It's 27 years old, but likely has a very low cycle count because stand up coasters usually have slow dispatches, and it only ever had 2 trains, despite being designed for 3. It also missed the entire 2010 season during relocation. I don't think any B&M of that size has been relocated twice, but it could probably be given to a lower tier park as a floorless, and be one of their best rides. Take Valleyfair for instance. They don't have a B&M, and their only looping coaster is their corkscrew, so it would be a great fit there.

[@JD.778]

This is what we call the dark times. Not reimagining Ka makes no sense to me since they’re putting a strata launch coaster in its place anyway

[@RCmaniac1231]

I really hope it’s not that stupid Mack shuttle spinner

[@roller_coaster_freak1160]

they didn't because top thrill 2 was a failure. i would to see this at great adventure but sadly its not happening

[@JD.778]

@ Yeah but this wouldn’t be done by Zamperla.

[@darealsavage3472]

Six flags Great Adventure will feel like a post apocalyptic world next season like what's the point of even going, in my opinion no need for price of admission the price paid will be having to see the skyline without kingda ka (if the top hat actually comes down and is not re used for the replacement)

[@8zone256]

Lightning loops rolling thunder ultra twister the bobsled the haunted house the boat log flume the boat that made the giant wave free fall the stunt show looney toons land the old time cars the giant teepee the rotor the enterprise Batman and robin the original swings the all American scream machine aqua theater now Kingda Ka the park was better growing up the small Ferris wheel to the Batman stunt show omg so much is gone so many memories

[@Sakura_Matou]

Don't forget the looping starship and parachute!

[@imnotsurelol2737]

I'm disappointed, I went to SFGA back in 2021 and was planning on riding it after El Toro, but I got a headache and skipped out on it thinking I would end up going the year after. I haven't been back since and I regret my choice of not riding it when I had the chance to.

[@Jushwa]

I don't think Cedar Fair has yet to realize the gravity of their mistake of deciding to remove Kingda Ka completely... Hard to believe that a reimagining of the ride wasn't the better option as it would be a able to re-claim the records for height and speed. I wonder if Zamperla hadn't screwed up so hard with TT2 if things would have turned out differently.

[@elcee4556]

I honestly think they closed Ka just so TT2 can be the only Strata coaster and receive the records again.

[@CoasterRumors]

22:57 Things to come hahahaha... indeed. Couldn't say it better myself

[@8zone256]

There wrecking the park there’s no more rides there anymore six flags 70 s 80 s 90s early 2000s insane it’s a shell of a park now

[@F7COASTERS]

I know that the tower is most likely coming down but Zumanjaro wasn’t very popular I heard that it was having problems with a structures of zumanjaro. I think even if they did a reimagining on Ka I think zumanjaro will not stay.

[@RCmaniac1231]

Yeah very few care about the drop tower attached to it. This replacement better dominate the skyline and be good

[@cottoncandyjellybean8539]

I know last year or the year before the middle gondola kept getting stuck at the top a lot. I saw it at least one time every time I went weekly

[@SpiderWaffle]

I was hoping the the new ride would reuse a lot of the supports from green lantern and Ka and also keep zoom.

[@markvolpe2305]

22:48 you would've also had Rolling Thunder. I'm hoping Green Lantern would be relocated to my home park, Darien Lake, it could use a nice converted floorless coaster with preferably vest restraints to make it as comfortable as possible.

[@TheCoasterSpot]

I am going to mention it in Saturday’s video, but I have pretty much gotten confirmation that it will be scrapped 😥

[@RCmaniac1231]

@@TheCoasterSpotthis would make only 3 B&M coasters to ever be scrapped…. Actually maybe only 2 depending on how you count Dragons Challenge

[@dustinhutchinson6275]

I think New Jersey maintenance laws make it a real red tape hassle to really resolve the issues needed to be dealt with.

[@F7COASTERS]

One thing is for sure parachute is definitely getting blown up.

[@Jeremys-FansAndAlarms]

They won’t be able to blow it up. This isn’t Texas, there is absolutely nowhere it would be able to fall without destroying something.

[@ankor1066]

We'll see about that.

[@ChristopherCampbell-l3i]

Hey i love amusemant parks. How many parks have you guys visited?

[@TheCoasterSpot]

The app that I use to track all the roller coasters I’ve ridden says I’ve been to 403 parks.

[@ChristopherCampbell-l3i]

@@TheCoasterSpot wow that's a lot of parks to go too my favorite park to go to was Playland's Castaway Cove in Ocean City New Jersey.

[@Ari23533]

3 popular parks😢😢😢😢😢 with being young

[@TheUncleSpiderX]

I go to Six Flags for the first time in my life for Fright Fest 11/1/24 at 27 years old Only 80 minutes away from it and Kingda Ka is done I never got my chance 💔
