I wonder could they keep having problems with viper all year?? It would be a blessing.
I had a season pass processed at another Six Flags park last year, and when I went to Great Adventure, all I had to do was flash it and they let me walk right in.
I recommend you go to Batman the Ride first, it usually has the longest lines, then head right next door to The Chiller, fallowed by Skull Mountain, this way you're not walking in circles. Then go over to Medusa (not too long a line either) and then to Viper which is right through the woods. Rolling Thunder and Scream Machine never have too long a line, if they have a line, but The Log Flume, and Stuntman's FreeFall usually have very long lines (depending on the day) so hit those early. Also, if it is opporational, Escape from Dino Island 3D may have a really long line, but it is more than worth the wait. Basically, the best way to cruise the park is start from the right side and hit all the coasters going in a circle to the left, then go through again hitting all the other rides. It will save you tons of time.
Hey gang:
There is one small thing you are missing in all of your posts. Those of us that call this park home know what the lines can be. However, there is a small new addition NITRO it is being hyped to who knows where and back. Why will most people be in the park???????? To ride Nitro well that being the case I suspect most of the other coasters will not experience their normal long waits.
Cases in point:
I could be wrong but in 99 and 00 Medusa had the long line and Nitro is on the opposite end of the park.
Batman and Robin the chiller the lines were over 3 hours the first year it opened now if you catch it right it's almost a walk on.
Batman the Ride if the que is full it is almost a 4 hour wait. Hasn't been that way since the Chiller and Medusa opened.
Skull mountain first year massive wait over 2 hours now an easy wait.
Viper when it opened 3 hours was not uncommon now nobody wants to ride it.
Rolling thunder in the early 80s had over a 4 hour wait on both sides on almost any given operating day.
The one day pass people will fill the que to the new ride fast pass will fill up early. What's left the entire rest of the park.
I am not saying don't expect lines and large crowds that doesn't happen at SFGADV the crowds are always large considering our location to NY and Philly and the lines everywhere can be long but overall the past has proven the new ride like the squeaking wheel gets the grease in this case the people. If it's your home park and you have a season pass, and you live close by take what you can get when you get it. My wife and I do as it is easy to go any time we want to. We pick and choose our entertainment and enjoy what we can get to with the minimum wait.
