Word is that a new pathway connecting Metropolis to Main Street was opened up the other day. Flash took over part of the old configuration, reckon this is a pretty accurate overview of what it's taking up now.

Station is finally going up;

Also there's a little birdie flying around and he's rambling on about getting your last Green Lantern rides in this Fall. Might be on to something, maybe not.

It's a bird, it's a plane, never mind it's a train showing up in all good (Six Flags) time!

SFGADV is a mess right now, they're going through their second weekend of preview mode for Fright Fest because most of the houses aren't completed and/or staffed on time for the event. Good to see something nice on the work side of things right now.

Aw shucks, saw an update posted in here, and was hoping it was being redirected to Cedar Point as "New for 2026!"

 

[CanobieFan]

Fwiw, Flash has been seen testing during Fright Feat

 

[Niles]

Here is some footage of it testing.

Them long trains are so beautiful

Looks awesome! And sooo smooth!

...my only complaints...as typical with these types of coasters with spikes...just wish it went a liiiiiiittle higher. Also, the capacity is going to be *rough*.

One of my favorite things about Mr Freeze is the additional magnets at the top of the spike to get it all the way up the tower.

Other than that, just an amazing concept and looks like a great ride.

Also, the capacity is going to be *rough*.

Almost as rough as if Vekoma built this 20 years ago

ERT reservations are now open for season passholders to ride on two weekends after it opens... March 29 is the debut;

I hate how hard this park is to get to without a car. It's in the middle of the most heavily populated section in the US and it's still somehow in the middle of nowhere. I'd love to visit when I'm in NYC next week but I can't justify the cost.

It's definitely outside the immediate NYC area - but the American Dream mall is just across the river to get you some coaster action!

Bus from NYC Port Authority is the usual (only?) suggested public transport option.

Bus from NYC Port Authority is the usual (only?) suggested public transport option.

I believe that actually got discontinued last year. Now the only option is to take a bus into Jackson, then Uber to the park. That isn't the worst thing in the world, but then you have to Uber back and apparently it can be hard to get one from Great Adventure.

^ a quick google suggests that yes one service was discontinued, but there seems to be other/replacement buses, eg;

Route 308 Bus Service from Port Authority Bus Terminal to Great Adventure 347-927-0750
