    Two tips:
    1) If you are a local, take a day off and go mid week. Crowds are much lighter. Look up a crowd calendar for the park to inform your choice.
    2) The fright fest event over the fall has light crowds during the morning on coasters, but becomes a zoo by 2 pm. The haunted attractions aren't worth it since they are an upcharge with long lines. Dedicated haunted houses or attractions are scarier, better put together, and not as crowded if you pick the right days.

    Very much agree with everything said here! I just went this past weekend for the first time in over a decade and some thoughts- HOLY value. a ride lineup like that for 50 bucks a ticket is insane. Nitro and El Toro remain some of the best rides I've ever been on. I love the new additions of the bars scattered throughout, especially the new retro bar next to wonder woman. And as a theming guy I'm so happy with the new efforts to avoid the plopping-an-off-the-shelf-coaster-in-a-parking-lot feel. The queue and backstory of jersey devil was great! And the justice league dark ride really impressed me too! Not Universal level quite yet, but way better than I remember from my last visit.
    Some negatives- The food was horrific. Stale pretzels, overpriced school cafeteria chicken patties, I could go on. And how about a damn music loop update? It sounds untouched from 2010.
    Overall it was a great weekend!

    For some reason when I went there were literally no lines. No wait for Ka, the longest line I waited in was probably joker ironically, El toro was only like 10 minutes as well.

    Excellent review of my home park for the 40+ years I've been alive (NYC here). Your #1 and #2 coaster are so correct and your last-place coaster also equally correct and needs to go (the last time we rode it, after years of abstaining, our headaches were so awful, we vowed never again). Really great observations and assessments!

  • @carmentorres4254
    @carmentorres4254 2 місяці тому +3

    little off topic but you NEED to go to californias great america. it has such a good RMC raptor called railblazer. its one of the shorter RMC raptors but it packs a punch. another coaster you should try is gold striker and flight deck gold striker is a very fast GCI woodie when it is warmed up. and flight deck just makes you grey out maybe even black out on that first loop. its also the 2nd inverted coaster ever made so, you should try out those 3 someday.

    • @FleshGolem420
      @FleshGolem420 2 місяці тому

      Love Railblazer and Gold Striker. Love, love, love. Flight deck I mean it's fine. The swoop down low to the water is satisfying.

    I grew up going to this park every summer since middle school and yeah Nitro first is still the meta. It cuts the line time on kingda ka too because most people wait for KK first and then spread to the rest of the park. If you hit Nitro > KK then El Toro is a 20-45 minute wait on the busier days and 5-20 on the short wait days. I once rode Kingda Ka 23 times back to back on a school’s only day where we had 10am - 11:30pm. God bless and safe riding! 🕊

    Funny thing, Batman The Ride was the FIRST rollercoaster that I ever rode. When I was younger like 10-16 I was always afraid that I would get sick if I rode any of these rides. I wasted like 6 years of my childhood for no reason. I now LOVE rollercoasters and my favorites so far there are NITRO, El Toro, and Batman. I have not been to the park in years so I have not tried Jersey Devil, Wonder Woman or Sky Screamer.

  • @ThemeParkAvenue
    @ThemeParkAvenue 2 місяці тому +1

    This is one of the best parks in the nation for thrills no doubt. Kingda Ka is a phenomenal number one for me (the rush is so much fun) and rides like El Toro, Jersey Devil Coaster, Nitro, the non-Green Lantern B&Ms, Zumanjaro, and the many flat rides make this a truly cracked collection. The guest experience is also overall great for the top-notch operations and very nice staff. I love this place every time I go.

    Hey we went yesterday (Tuesday 27th July) and we followed your suggestion for which rides to do and when and it was perfect. so thank you! Wasn't crowded so we went on a few rides several times. Superman was closed. My best was Nitro and Wonderwoman, then Kingda Ka. Thanks for the helpful content.

  • @christianortiz-v1l

    Btw your florida video was really good, and I loved you collaborating with all these other UA-camrs. I would love to see one ranking all the parks in CA, since it is my home state, or some other like Texas, but either way you've been making really great content, keep it up!😊

  • @LChineze
    @LChineze 2 місяці тому

    hot tip, if you go to six flags parks late, like a few hours before closing, they offer an evening flash pass bundle, generally $30 for 5 rides with almost no wait time. i've done this at discovery kingdom and magic mountain.
    the mid tier flash pass is the best value if you will be at the park for the entire day. the low tier makes absolutely no sense since for a little more you can reduce your wait times an additional 40% and the highest tier is just not worth almost double the mid tier.

    I visited this park mid week in early June. Longest line was 15 minutes (kingda ka) and most the day we were able to lap Nitro and El Toro without leaving the station. We got 15 rides on each, and several rides on everything else. It was my first visit and I will say the only thing missing is more shade!

    just went for the first time, slightly disappointed tbh. $45 parking, didn’t get el toro cuz it was closed all day, kingda ka didn’t open until 3 hours before park close but i will say it was amazing. ride operators moved very fast but one train on several coasters so those lines were longgg when coasters with two trains were walk ons. and i encountered the rudest lady i ever have at a theme park in the ticket booth

    I don’t know if this is new for 2024 but when I went to Great Adventure in early June they had signs with QR codes in front of every coaster and you could buy a single use flash pass for the ride. You selected what time you wanted to ride and once the time came they told you to hop in the flash pass line. The price varied depending on the ride. For Kingda Ka we paid 10 bucks a person. I wouldn’t recommend using it for more than 1 or 2 rides cause you’ll eventually be paying the same price as an actual flash pass but if you have one or two must ride attractions it was great. The line for Kingda Ka was 90 minutes without it and with it we waited 30-45 minutes.

  • @FleshGolem420
    @FleshGolem420 2 місяці тому

    One note - I was there today (!) and the passes are on your phone now, which is a problem because some rides don't allow phones, but they had like a little mini locker setup just big enough for your phone at those points. Also I had a whole priority plan that went to hell because the rides opened late and one by one due to some power issue and then a lot of rides were going up and down all through the day.

  • @btk22279
    @btk22279 2 місяці тому

    Pretty damn accurate. I would add that the line for Joker can be really long. Same for Superman if they are only running one train.

  • @EspiIsHere

    ⚠️Personal tips for this park!⚠️
    Go on a Friday all day. No I’m not kidding, everytime I went Friday in the summer it wasn’t too bad and was able to hit everything
    Do NOT get food here, it’s way too expensive, staff can get confusing (went with my family one time and they never got me my food, here to find they never even charged for my meal) just go right outside the park, there’s a Wawa right out on the strip GO THERE
    Hit Kingda Ka around early afternoon, usually get less wait time and hit El Toro in the evening.. it’s a night and day difference (and hit back, there’s a choke point in the front of the station, push to the back
    Buy an all day locker, it’s necessary with Kingda Ka, El Toro (kinda now) and Jersey devil speaking of..
    Buy a flash pass for Jersey devil or hit it asap. At the time of writing it’s running 1 train and a small line can be 30 mins (you also get free ride lockers for using flash pass, don’t ask me why just there).
    Do Superman in the evening, should be a shorter line.
    Hope this helps with someone going!

    Also my home park and growing up I didnt know how spoiled i was to have it as a home park. I still think the 06 season was the best season there was. Had rolling thunder and el toro. Batman and robin still ran sometimes and I will take Great American scream machine head pounding over green lantern ball crushing any day

  • @blair4815
    @blair4815 2 місяці тому

    Good video, but there are couple incorrect statements and things I would like to add. In terms of food, it has changed quite a bit, and of the two locations you mentioned, Panda Express became Chop Six years ago, and is currently closed indefinitely, and Johnny Rockets is the inferior place to get most food compared to somewhere like FatBurger. Additionally, I would strongly suggest going with some of the BBQ options in the park, as places like the Jersey Devil BBQ and Best of the West have some of the highest and most consistently quality foods. In terms of rides, your assessments were pretty spot on, but I would like to add that Batman is running great this season, and is notably more comfortable than the likes of JDC, Medusa, and El Toro. I also believe that the Dark Knight is a surperior ride to Skull Mountain, and should be considered as a legitamte coaster, and the themeing should not be underhyped.

    @Ultraquickly 2 місяці тому

    hmm I strongly disagree with your strategy on getting the most amount of rides in at least for this season. You should NOT go to Nitro first. Nearly every single ride except nitro currently has only 1 train running. The 3 times I went this month, Nitro had the smallest/no line cause they had two trains. The wait was at max, 5 minutes during the day.
    Jersey Devil and Superman on the other hand, has consistently had incredibly long lines and it's probably best to go to those first. Jersey Devil for example had a 2 hour wait during the day. El Toro just opened this week and I went on it so can't comment on the line for that (no line when i went) for sure but I imagine it would be super popular.
