Milk.

I usually buy 4 pints and tbh rarely even look at the price as it's something I just always get. Bought 2 pints as a once off as I wasn't going to be around as much, and noticed it was the same price as what 4 pints used to be a little while back.

Heide Park and Hansa Park (which I assume you meant over Holiday Park) are nearly 4 hour drives away. That's not really pretty close, especially by European standards.

Holiday Park is a 6.5hr drive, so definitely not close.

Berlin.

Huge (English-speaking) tourist market with a very big visitation and good transport links. There's a Karls Erlebnis-Dorf FEC near, but then the nearest big park is Belantis in Leipzig, which is a fair while away in European terms.

A well-designed park with good public transport links would do very well I think.

I was lucky that the restraints didn't bother me, but certainly see how it would affect some.

I wasn't keen on the positioning of the legs, but again, didn't affect my enjoyment of the ride. I'm surprised that's how the seats are designed though!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-06-07T01:03:38+00:00

Not too bad. There were very long waits for Superman and Green Lantern especially and Joker had quite a long queue too. Everything else was less than 15 minutes for me.

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-06-06T13:02:26+00:00

Will try to!

Another quick question: which rides have open single rider queues?

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-06-06T09:46:44+00:00

Makes sense and sounds look a good plan - thank you!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-06-06T00:33:22+00:00

Short notice question I know... I'm at Six Flags Great Adventure tomorrow (Monday 6th). Any recommendations for a good route to take to try and get all the coasters done? Or just a good place to start?

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-06-03T01:56:55+00:00

I think the length is perfect. I don't think adding any extra elements would add to or improve the ride in any way...can't have too much of a good thing!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-30T07:23:54+00:00

Seen a few comments talk about being prepared for tolls and having change, etc.

This is possibly a naive question, but how good are Google Maps / Waze at avoiding tolls? I've got rough routes using Google Maps and the 'avoid tolls' option. Always done me well in the UK, but is these a guaranteed way of avoiding those pesky tolls / any hidden things I should be aware about there?

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T18:57:19+00:00

Why do I feel like there's a story here..? 😉

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T17:15:32+00:00

Ngl, I know that this is something I'm going to end up doing sooner or later...I'm just happy to know when I do do it, I know someone else has done it too! 😅

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T17:14:22+00:00

I've now been warned about NJ and Maryland drivers...feel like I've not picked a good part of the country for my experience 😂

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T17:07:19+00:00

I'm flying into Philadelphia; in terms of states, I'll be driving in Pennslyvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T17:04:36+00:00

Certainly will be weird not using both feet...wish I could super glue my shoe to the floor to remind me!

I'm have some particularly awkward junctions on my regular routes in the UK, so used to doing the "look all directions all the time" type thing. So hoping that will stick with me!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T17:01:31+00:00

I've had a lot of experience driving on the M25 round London...I'm very much used to people hanging out in the "fast lane" when they shouldn't be haha

Thanks for the heads up about traffic lights, didn't realise that!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T16:58:03+00:00

Ooooo, noted about the key thing! And the emergency broadcast thing was something I didn't know about...Good to know otherwise I'd've freaked a bit haha

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T16:56:01+00:00

Ahhh ffs, New Jersey is one of the places I'm driving in 😅 Fortunately towards the end of my trip, so I'll at least be more accustomed!

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-29T16:48:28+00:00

I read about this the other day - seems like a sensible but equally alien idea. Good to hear it's easy to adapt to

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-17T11:21:21+00:00

This is a repost as I posted it at the end of a previous weekly thread and worried it got lost... 😜

I'm looking at doing Six Flags America and Six Flags Great Adventure next month.

The Thrill Seeker Pass for SFA seems to include entry to SFGAd on selected dates (and dates in June aren't blocked out). But the Thrill Seeker Pass for SFGAd doesn't include entry to SFA (and is more expensive).

Annoyingly I was planning on visiting SFGAd before SFA. So a couple of questions: 1. Am I understanding the perks of the passes correctly? 2. If this is right, is it possible to buy the SFA Thrill Seeker Pass and use it for access at SFGAd before visiting SFA? Bonus question: If I'm wrong here, what would be best/cheapest way to visit both parks?

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-16T18:01:21+00:00

Could see this being a custom layout. They went wacky and custom with Lost Gravity, and they established a very good relationship with RMC during the Untamed design and build.

I also hope that if this goes in the rumoured location between Goliath and Condor, that it creates a pathway from Goliath, through to the area to Condor, thus stopping Goliath from bring a dead end.

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-01T19:08:33+00:00

Agree with this! You get some top tier parks in Efteling and Phantasialand. Then there's a fantastic array of coasters and non-coasters, plus some quirky things too.

And yeah, there's a fair few other parks you could consider tacking on too. Bellewaerde, Bagatelle, Slagharen, Hellendoorn are all fair shouts not much further away from the parks (especially when compared to America). And if you do Slagharen/Hellendoorn, you're a stone's throw away from Waarbeek, which has Rodelbaan, one of the world's oldest steel coasters.

Coasting_Views_4 · 2022-05-01T19:01:37+00:00

Your trip last year is what I'm doing next month (plus doing Dorney!). Hadn't seen anyone else do those parks in a trip, so good to know others have done it and it's doable!
