KI Kevin Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Here's the trip: 21st (July): Leave after dinnertime, stay in a hotel 22nd: Drive during the day, arrive at Dorney around Dinnertime/ evening, ride the rest of the night. Drive to our next hotel after closing at 10 23rd: Drive in the morning, arrive at Six Flags Great Adventure before opening. Stay til close. Drive afterwards to our hotel 24th: Drive in the morning, arrive at Hershey before opening. Stay til close. Drive to our hotel. 25th: Drive home. We have all of the hotel arrangements taken care of. The point of this thread was to ask for help. -For the most part, we know we have to ride Talon, Hydra, Steel Force, Ka, El Toro, Nitro, Fahrenheit, Storm Runner....oh you get the picture. We know we have to ride all of the big rides. Are there any smaller rides that we should do? -Places to eat in and around the park? We will be eating free breakfast at all of the hotels, and after that we will eat one meal in the parks each day. -Any in-park itineraries? -Coaster #100! It's currently planned for Talon, and I trust my sources on this one (Adam) but who knows! I currently have 94 so I'll be getting my 100th at Dorney -Has anyone been to Hershey on a Saturday? Gotta admit I'm kinda worried. How crowded should it be? -All in all, we are allowed on 33 coasters (Rolling Thunder and Lightning Racer count as 2). Optimistically, I'd guess we'd be able to get on about 25-30 easily. Alright that's it! Feel free to leave any tips or not, otherwise this can be used as a tool for others forming a trip to these parks. Thanks! PS Expect a PTR! EDIT: I've posted this thread on -G also for some other feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Millennium Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'm doing the same thing, except putting in Knoebels instead of Hershey. Leaving tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few things if you got a hotel good cuse there arnt any around for 25 miles second There is a Wawa yes its a Gas station Remember They pump ur Gas in NJ its a State Law. theres a Mcdonalds and a Burger King if you want more keep going down Monmouth Rd you will run Into the Jackson Prime outlett Mall I think they have a food court I could be wrong Park Tips 1. the park is layed out much different than most Six flags Parks 2. if you go in the morning dont expect ROTB they walk you to each ride 3.

KI Kevin Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Some additional notes: I have admission to both Great Adventure and Dorney. However we have found decent discount tickets to Hershey. I believe that it's $11 off at Giant Food stores. Does anyone know of more discount tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Millennium Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 If you are going to GAdv on a Saturday I think you should get a flash pass (I got gold). . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiboy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 U might find some at Wendys 10 to 15 miles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kevin Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 GAdv will be on a Friday. And when I went to SFMM I got the Platinum FP, which was not even CLOSE to as expensive as the ones at GAdv....though it is extremely helpful. I'm sure you'll find it worth the steep price.

TOPGUN1993 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Only like a few miles... GPS will getcha there. And if your wanting to eat outside the park I highly recommend "Funcks Family Restaurant" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kevin Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Alright. We'll probably have to go to the Giant Food Store before the park opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveStroem Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Superman is often a long wait because it is a slow loader. When you get to the station row 2 is often a shorter wait since so many people go for row 1. El Toro's station is a nightmare. It always seems to be a bottle neck getting onto the station platform. Keep heading to the back, it is almost always a much shorter wait for the back and when we were there was walk on while the front half was 2-3 train wait or more. Single use lockers are good for 120 minutes, but the timers were screwed up when we were there. They would time out early. Make sure you get back at 110 minutes.
