I would like to see a Freefall Drop Tower ride or a Splashdown water ride like Movietown Water Effect..i have a bad feeling that we will never see another new water ride at Great Adventure anymore..I would love to see a splashdown ride as tall as the Pilgrim's Plunge at Holiday World and Splashin Safari with that elevator lift!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see a tilt-a-whirl, and a scrambler, and a rotor, and a breakdance, and a wipeout, and a giant slide, and flying scooters, and antique cars, and BUMPER CARS. They need the basics!

No more coasters! We need flat rides....

Bumper Cars, Techno Jump, Roto-Drop, everything that matt said, a frisbee and maybe an observation tower that's 250 ft. tall.

Too much for their budget but they can afford a roller coaster...

An observation tower would be great. Surprised that never happened in the old days. The park needs some kind of monument that isn't a roller coaster.

Oooooo Techno Jump. EVERY park should have one of thems! So freakin' fun!

+1 Spunk for that!

I would love to see an "Escape from Pompeii" style water ride at the park. Classic big splashdown ride, but with a story. As Charlie Sheen would say, "bi-winning!"

I see your spunk and raise you another.

lol, Charity time...

A Obersvation Tower would make a nice skyline along with Ka, Nitro, and the other bunch. But Great Adventure really needs to get back to the good 'ol days where there wasn't as many rules ('04 or '05) and a bunch of flats to choose from ('99-'00). Here's to dreamin'...

EDIT: Why hasn't the park made a statue for Warner Leeroy yet? I mean, he did found what is one of the premier parks in the US.

Do you really want to go back to less rules? Shapiro coming in and having the chain enforce the code of conduct for real completely changed the overall atmosphere at the parks for the better, by far. The only two they went a bit too far with was the smoking policy and the souvenir cups as loose articles. Both of those policies have been refined for this season to be much more guest friendly. When it came to smokers, people deserve a second chance if they truly didn't know the rule and are willing to follow it, and now they do. The souvenir cups should never have counted as loose articles that were banned from the rides, and now they aren't thanks to the handy cup holders.

There'd be some pissed guests waiting in line as the train passes over...

WE NEED THE BASICS ... Please NO MORE COASTERS !!! Flats are a must or there are many people that are not going to come back !

Only to the station fortunately (or unfortunately...depends on your outlook). LOL.

its a no brainer
I would say Drop tower but in light of accident at the other park

AV Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2011, 01:07:20 PM »

I'd rather them get 5 classic flats then one giant super expensive ride that I personally don't care for. You can get a Gravity Group woodie for the price of that giant frisbee.

GADVwow · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2011, 09:55:32 PM »

I miss Frisbee at Great Adventure. I have ridden both giant Frisbees in Ohio...and the ride experience is nowhere near as intense or fun as Frisbee was.

Just like Topspins are far more fun than that thing they now call the Crypt at Dick Kinzel's Southern Ohio Fair Park.

IMMMM BAAACCCKKKK!!!!!! and when i saw this board i just had to post to get out of my several month hiatus. I personally think that the chiller station should be torn down but its double queue lines left. they should be used for a double tower drop ride like the one at dorney or something. bring back the bumper cars, put a disko or inverter in between green lantern and the alpacas and for a finishing touch a condor in the lakefront section!!!

B-mac · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2011, 07:07:43 AM »

You probably didn't know this but GAdv used to have a condor in the 80's...

Sue's here and I LOVE Condor rides! Can't wait to ride some in Germany this summer where I'm sure they run much better programs than in the US.

Ooooo a German Fair Condor might be sick!

Mark Shapiro would never go for a drop tower, maybe a star screamer like the one sfdk is getting

Good thing Jim Reid-Anderson is CEO now.
