*please note, in case of bad weather Nitro will be open instead.

That's sounds like a nice event for a great cause. If I'm off , i will be attending this event.

Uh-oh. Last ride for the 2009 season? if i heard that correct it sounds like what they said for medusa. Iwant to do this but how much do we need to donate? cuz i have truck oads of stuff just sitting.

With Medusa they put a sign up for it. They wouldn't tear Kingda Ka down without a huge media release, anyway.

They're doing this because it's for charity and they want to build good PR.

This thread is about the park is trying to do something NICE.
Why you are even mentioning Kingda Ka being torn down? Geeze!!

And yes I will try to be there too.

this seems really cool I'm glad GA is doing this.

B-mac · « **Reply #8 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:47:43 PM »

I just saying... I'm glad Six Flags is doing this too. And If I'm open for the thirteenth I would be very happy to give to charity.

Very neat idea! We're hoping to attend. Rich could fill the park with donations! Get to ride a coaster and give to people in need--sounds like a win/win to me.

Now can we just hope KK is down so that we can ride Nitro instead?

darkridedan · « **Reply #10 on:** October 27, 2009, 06:37:13 PM »

Yeah, if it rains, I'm in.

B-mac · « **Reply #11 on:** October 27, 2009, 07:19:46 PM »

If there's a cloud in the sky, we'll end up riding nitro.

Still good in my book!

peterpjr · « **Reply #12 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:47:57 PM »

I am going to try to be there. It would be a great end to the season and for a good cause.

coastermom · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2009, 06:09:35 AM »

Very cool idea I have to see if we are around I would LOVE to go for a great cause .

JetzFan14 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2009, 07:23:45 AM »

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

! This sounds soooo frikin cool to me. Because i never went to hoilday lights. And i don't care if it is a rainy day because nitro is my favorite sfga ride, then kingda ka, then bizzaro, then batman, after that, superman, next el toro, and runway train.
Not to menchion all for a great cause!!!

B-mac · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2009, 03:05:14 PM »

1)They stopped holiday lights like three years ago, and this is the first time they're doing this event.
1.a)None of the rides were open anyway.

2) You put superman in front of El toro?
(It's your opinion and all but that got my attention)

Six Flags had winter lights for 01-02 and 02-03. It was a drive through like PNC bank did.

coastermom · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2009, 04:34:19 PM »

Speaking of Winter Lights That was something that we enjoyed . I wonder if it just didnt bring in enough people to keep it running or was it that people expected something like Hershey has.

B-mac · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2009, 04:58:57 PM »

I remember going in 2001. Hazy, but in my mind. It was pretty cool seeing all the coasters with snow on them.

jimmybjammin · « **Reply #19 on:** October 31, 2009, 02:47:48 AM »

just $5 to go on ka without donating anything?? i don't get it..

superman? idk.. too hard for me to rank. I love them all now, even gasm. superman breaks too much for me to hit every row in a row.. it always gets stuck for 20 minutes with me over the brake run after several rerides every single time i tried it this season..

$5 IS a donation to the Salvation Army to help them in their work.
