I am so there. This is a great event and a really great cause for Six Flags.

ahh. thanks. cash is my easiest and most frequent donation, I'll guess i just show up during that time frame, give cash to the salvation army along with the bag of clothing i never wore, to go on ka. seems easy, just getting there after work on a friday is the hardest part since I can be anywhere in NJ.

It wasn't scary at all. It was dark when I got mine so the only way I could tell was due to the red tower lights going the opposite way they usually do.

Those cold weather rides were probably some of the best rides we had, wouldn't you say so?

I'm waiting 'til the day before to decide. I don't trust the weather at all.

Rich and I will be there as well.

I don't want it to be nice or KK will probably be open.  I SO want a night ride on Nitro--it's been ages!  It sounds like it's going to be quite well attended too and KK just doesn't have the capacity (especially if they run 1 side).

On the flip side, if Ka is running then fewer attendees are likely to ride and if they do, they will likely only ride once :).  Although if Nitro is running 3 trains that would likely make up for the additional riders and re-rides lol.  The weather looks shaky at best right now so we'll see.

Looks like the weather is shaping up just like the rest of this fall.

Just saw this over at History.
El Toro + Ka if it doesn't rain.
And just El Toro if it rains.
Makes much more sense than Nitro on the other side of the park.
Can anyone verify this?

If that holds true... I might actually be there around 6-6:30


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

The website still only says Ka, and Nitro if it rains.

Just to make sure it's clear guys- from my understanding, El Toro is the new backup ride in the case of rain instead of Nitro.  This is simply because of it's closer proximity to Kingda Ka.  From my understanding, they will not be running both at the same time if Ka does manage to run.

With that said, this event is on RAIN OR SHINE!

The way the weather is starting to look, it seems like Dark Knight and/or Skull Mountain would've been the better choices. 

Please let the weather be wrong this time!
