It’s such an honor to be included in a Coliwood Studios Video! Had a lot of fun that day while rocking out a Brian Dawkins Jersey. Also, I’m actually good friends with Ben, as we both went to the same high school and we enjoy riding roller coasters together.

[@legoball8]

Absolutely LOVED that intro of you throughout the years!! 50 YEARS AND COUNTING FOR GA

[@nightwing6153]

I have officially spotted myself in the background of a colliwood studios video.

[@YoYo_818]

Same

[@TylerPCoyne]

Me three!

[@christianortiz793]

Happy 50th anniversary to my favorite Six Flags park! Here's to 50 more years of awesome fun!

[@Tyler63532]

People set the bar so low these days. Honestly just sad

[@SpencersVentures]

Opening of the vlog my or may not have brought a tear to the eye. So cute! Great job on that Colin!

[@tomfrombrick]

Epic intro! Great footage as always. Here's to another 50 yrs at the park.

[@dsr3694]

I thought we made it into this video! You were so kind when we met and talked to you and your crew. Thank you!

[@TeAmBIRDS-sx7xn]

Amazing vlog as i always say. Liked ur young age pictures with your dad ❤. 😊

[@eric3684]

how the hell is it JULY and the park is still not fully operational?? coasters still with 1 train!? boat loads of attractions still closed? GA became a dump the last few years but this is terrible.. the thing that amazes me is its never put on blast by the people that make these videos inside the park.. smh

[@elijahbabb9067]

Waiting on parts for most rides. Can’t really do anything about it 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@GTpanthers]

@@elijahbabb9067 is it really parts? I went there a couple of weeks ago and just assumed that it was a staffing issue until the college students were back home. I was hoping they would be fully staffed by the week after the 4th of July.

[@christianortiz793]

Yeah, when I visited. El Toro, and Medusa were running 1 train.

[@Tyler63532]

Finally! People have been calling me crazy. I’ve said time and time again that he’s incredibly biased. Complains about Magic mountain not having rides open due to needing parts but you won’t hear a peep here.

[@F7PRO37]

Pretty sure Jersey devil and Wonder Woman is the manufacture fault and kingda ka has to wait for intamin to send parts

[@ZMSaypol]

Just a heads up: Devil has reopened and the Ferris wheel has all cars back on!

[@andrewthomas364]

Thanks Colin & Co! I really appreciate this vlog. Super consistent and informative, yet always POSITIVE attitudes regardless of the news.

[@TeAmBIRDS-sx7xn]

To y’all who are wondering about devil, it’s back open!

[@debg0402]

How has Ace not changed a bit in the years? 😀

[@beckyharris1870]

Love the throwbacks! The kids really got a kick out of seeing them! :-)

[@elgranangelemmanuellaynez4592]

I wish I was there yesterday. But still this 50th Anniversary of Six Flags Great Adventure was absolutely incredible. Even though Runway Mine Train and El Toro were my favorite roller coasters ever. Amazing video! 😊

[@YoYo_818]

I'm one of the people standing in front of El Toro at 6:58 in your video. We were extremely disappointed in the ride closures. No Ka, no Devil, no Flume, and they couldn't even complete installing the cars on the Ferris Wheel in time. Flash sitting there complete not doing anything. It was embarrassing. They do a great job of paying ride attendants to sit in front of closed rides doing nothing though. Get your act together Six Flags! They should be ashamed!

[@NickyD]

well devil needs repairs by rmc it was a closure made by rmc flume wasnt approved by the state is the rumro god knows if it ever will be again many issues found according to SM rumors KA needs a new cable flash train hasnt showed up onsite et delayed by veokoma

[@RyanColby1225]

Six flags New England doing the same thing. 5 water rides closed which is like half the water park

[@abbyawesome417]

Awesome video!! Great coverage on all the updates and events, it looked like a blast!! I loved the parade, i hope i don’t miss it this summer.

[@GinaJ.-nl2jk]

Was a great day! Very nice to meet you guys (I came up to you at the lion statue with the little boy), here's to 50 more years!

[@ColiwoodStudios]

It was great to meet you too!

[@AdrenalineRushCoasterMedia]

This day was so much fun!! Amazing intro too Colin

[@danielmarchant3676]

Always awesome content! I’m not sure how you remain so positive when other parks are beyond and above the operations. It’s sad to see my home park is dismal shape

[@Jcjc-lr4bf]

Bringing two plastic bags for the rapids is GENIUS compared to carrying around m a pair of slides to change into all day!

[@brodyharris9921]

gnarly cloud at the end of the vid there

[@Coaster_Joe]

Great vlog!! It was great talking to you guys yesterday!!

[@WHOOOOOOOOCARES]

Happy 50th HomePark 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

[@Starlit43]

Again I love what they did at the beginning and nice mr six shirts lol. Would’ve been nice to have everything open though. Most of us know why the 50th additions are late which also effects cyborg. RMC still working on JD is ridiculous, Wonder women looks like a unique problem but I’m not sure and skyway needs heavy refurbishment which definitely wasn’t happening in this packed 50th season. I do think Ka, zumanjaro and even Houdini should be open. Would be nice if they had a lot of spare parts for these rides instead of waiting for something to happen then getting the parts. Obviously you save money that way but come on. I wouldn’t blame great adventure for that though. Most likely corporate

[@markdaniels2123]

Unfortunately Walmart no longer carries parts

[@Starlit43]

@@markdaniels2123 huh💀

[@NickyD]

well the single rails are insalty unreiable all are closed in america not just jd skyhawk is done for good sign is even gone drop of doom is down for budget cuts for the year KA needs a cable after it sapped a few days ago WW needs a motor

[@Starlit43]

@@NickyD not blaming great adventure for JD being down (is open now!), they did not make a decision on skyway yet, zumanjaro is only closed right now because of Ka and I don’t believe Ka’s cable snapped. They just fixed that last year but I don’t know how long those typically last and WW definitely needs something

[@RomarScott]

@@Starlit43the cable didn’t snap

[@rastigomike]

Looks like a great day! Glad you had such a cool experience.

[@marksinclair2333]

Yeah you right when I went a lot of rides were closed

[@kingdragon3879]

The music synced up with the rth so well at 6:54 lol

[@The_Wheel_Seat]

What a sweet intro!

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Thank you!

[@beckyharris1870]

Smart thinking Ace!!! But you really saved plastic bags all this time??? lol Couldn't find one if I tried.

[@philthynj]

Great intro!

[@Starlit43]

I like that little parade they got. It’s really sweet

[@raniaalabad3618]

Do they have the parade everyday, what time???

[@Starlit43]

@@raniaalabad3618 I believe it’s weekends only at 3:00.

[@Waedee]

Got 30 rides on toro yesterday! What a day

[@Cutipie18]

I can’t believe nothing’s open especially on the 50th anniversary 😢

[@Avacadoloco]

Great vlog as always but def disappointed that so many things were closed or not ready, shame but alas.

[@princeerick11]

Nothing Beats Magic Mountain❤

[@JD.778]

Most things do

[@quinnatkinson8917]

Geez how old is ace ... he was a grown man .. when you was still a kid 😂😂

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Ace doesn’t age 😂

[@rapidcars1]

Proud day for the park except everything is closed log flume not open. The new flash coaster is not open kind the Cobb was closed over the weekend.

[@mikeyp916]

Went today 7/3 all the cars were on the Ferris wheel and they had it in operation, I assume for testing.

[@danieldutton9770]

I went like 4 times the last two weeks going to go again when flash opens and hopefully by then everything is runnings and more then 1 train for coasters

[@RedPilledDan]

Man I’m visiting for the first time and prob only opportunity for a while in a week and half the park is closed!

[@Volpe2Rizzo]

Any updates on Flash? And why is King Da Ka currently closed?

[@Project_Storm1999]

King is waiting on parts from intamin as for flash I would say early August

[@AdrenalineRushCoasterMedia]

Ka is waiting on a part and Flash is getting there. Flash logos are prepped and should hopefully go up this week

[@markdaniels2123]

@@Project_Storm1999 CANCEL CULTURE

[@YoYo_818]

Ka actually got tested on Sunday morning so we were hopeful it would be running yesterday. But nope. We were extremely disappointed.

[@YoYo_818]

Jersey Devil finally opened today. Of course we're home now. Figures!

[@Verdelite]

Has kingdaka been operating lately? I’m visiting in about a month and i really want to ride it

[@ColiwoodStudios]

It has not

[@Eggcat3526]

W vid My guy🍷🗿

[@buldasur2576]

People need to chill with calling you out. Like you’ve said in the past you like to mainly focus on the positives and that’s perfectly fine. Great adventure has a big category of rides even with some of these closures. I get people being upset if you go and you can’t ride some of your favorite rides but the park has a lot to offer.

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Thank you 🙏

[@Bannnaboy12876]

I saw you😁😁

[@dougronald561]

Who thinks Colin will be around for the 100th!

He is, not every park has every Looney Tunes character

Has anyone from this park been to Sesame Place to see what a parade is supposed to look like?

[@SpiderWaffle]

10:37 I do the same thing

[@Jaketheone65]

I checked the app and It said devil is not closed anymore idk if that’s true tho

[@markdaniels2123]

we have a better chance of seeing God than seeing all needed rides to be open

[@YoYo_818]

Of course it's open now the day after we leave. That's how it always works.

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Devil did in fact open!

[@markdaniels2123]

@@ColiwoodStudios Yes it opened later on MOnday or Tuesday

[@markdaniels2123]

ONce again they preempt - CANCEL CULTURE - is such a problem with this park. No Jerse Devil or KIngda Ka - always the best is what they close.

[@NickyD]

ha ha 12:36 rmc single rails are a joke

[@MrCrash-hz8xy]

there's really no sense at all to be celebrating ANYTHING!!! when clearly most rides are down and only running 1 freaking train! This park is a HOT MESS

[@JD.778]

Just say you don’t know what you’re talking about

[@APPLE1TO1]

Parade not the best.
