Visited Six Flags Great Adventure today on a Wednesday afternoon in late August, had a wonderful time riding whatever was open today. With El Toro, Mine Train, and Wonder Woman closed, I got on all of the coasters + the Log Flume with the exception of Skull Mountain and Dark Knight. While Skull Mountain is a childhood classic, I feel a bit too mature for it… and riding Dark Knight seems pointless now that we have Barrels of Fun (Ragin’ Cajun). Barrels of Fun is a walk-on while Dark Knight always seems to have long waits.

Rope-dropping Flash is a certified must since its queue soars to 45-60 minutes real quick. I got their first train of the day. Nearly every ride was a station wait or a walk-on following Flash, with the exception of Joker… I waited about 30-40 minutes in the early afternoon since it is a bad capacity ride in the very front of the park.

Speaking of Barrels of Fun, you have to check it out at least once during your visit. The way the ride spins at the very end hits different… it’s no joke. I guarantee you’ll be screaming like Ricky Bobby when he was on fire in Talladega Nights. “Help me, Oprah Winfrey! Help me, Tom Cruise!” Best wild mouse I have ever been on.

Wishing all future SFGAd guests an amazing trip!

Last week, Dover Motor Speedway announced that the NACSAR Craftsman Truck Series will not return to the Monster Mile in 2027 even though it returned in 2026 for the first time in six years. Could this mean a return for the ARCA Menards Series + ARCA East race at Dover after not being held in 2026? I honestly wouldn’t mind a rotation between ARCA having Dover and the Truck Series having Pocono and vice versa each year, like what Formula 1 used to do with Hockenheim and the Nurburgring.

I remember around 2016 there was this live action Nickelodeon show that had an episode about NASCAR. I recall the show being science-related, but I cannot remember. The show's protagonist said his favorite driver was an up-and-coming Harrison Burton in his NASCAR NEXT era. He also liked Bubba Wallace when he drove for Roush. Does anyone happen to remember the name of this show? And (Bonus) if the episode was actually good? I'd say it's one of those NASCAR x children's TV cameos that have flown under the radar.

Hello! After not being able to attend last summer due to my grandparents being busy, I will be attending HP for the first time since 2024 from the final Tuesday this month to the final Thursday this month (August 25-27). I will be going with my grandparents and younger brother. The former is convinced that because PA schools start up around this time (We’re from New Jersey), it will be less crowded but hours might be limited (Earlier closure time).

My goal for this year? Ride as many of the major roller coasters (I’m too mature Cocoa Cruiser and Trailblazer as they are marketed toward people between the ages of 5-10) as possible, go to the retro arcade, ride Twizzlers Twisted Gravity, and get one last ride on Tidal Force (Splash Zone) before it’s gone forever. We’re doing Chocolate World Tuesday, main park Wednesday, and going home Thursday.

Last time I went, I made the infamous mistake of riding Candymonium first, but following the research I’ve conducted so far, I need to save it until the mid-afternoon following lunch. Most people say to go on Fahrenheit or Laff Trakk first due to capacity issues, and I’d prefer riding on Fahrenheit first since it’s more intense for me. Then, people say to hit up WCR and Wild Mouse before going to Lightning Racer, then Storm Runner and Remix. My biggest concern will be when to fit in Skyrush and Great Bear, since their wait times feel like roulettes due to how random they are all the time. The “skippable” coasters always seem to be Laff Trakk and Comet due to their long waits and how they gear toward late elementary-early middle school families, and SDL because it never bodes well for people who are on a time crunch.

I’m also worried about if I’ll have enough time to fit in some rounds of Daytona USA at the retro arcade and the other two non-roller coaster rides I mentioned before. How long have TTG and TF lines gotten this season? When are they the least busy?

I understand posts like this are fairly common, but everyone’s experience (Including mine) will be different). I’ll also call HP the day before I leave to see which rides will be closed, and we don’t plan on buying a fast pass. Thank you all!

Football season is almost exactly one month away, and the Minutemen begin year two in the Harasymiak era in Piscataway, New Jersey. I plan on going to this game. What are the odds of Sam the Minuteman + the UMass Spirit Squad making the trip to SHI Stadium for road fans to interact with? It’s about a 3.5 hour trip, so I think it’s doable. MAC teams bringing their mascots to road games seems 50/50, as Miami (OH) brought theirs to Rutgers while Ohio did not. Would love to get a pic on the road with Sam during my experience. See some of you there!

In NASCAR 07, “Soft Smoke” and “Southern Hallelujah” are bangers. Unfortunately, they are overshadowed by “Diary of Jane.”

Does anyone happen to know the reason for Jersey Shore Blueclaws (Philadelphia Phillies A+) manager Mycal Jones’s ejection by Jose Sandoval during the bottom of the fourth inning in their 7-6 win over the Greenville Drive on Sunday, June 21? I cannot find any footage of this, and the last reported play (Per GameDay) prior to the ejection was a Joel Dragoo two-out single down the left field line. I was just at their game two days prior, where they had lost in the top of the ninth thanks to giving up consecutive triples.

Additionally, Frederick Keys bench player Carlos Vazquez was ejected from another prior game I had attended on May 30, for arguing a foul ball (No hit by pitch) call from Nat Rodriguez Garcia. I cannot find footage of that, either.

Any assistance in figuring these out would be appreciated!
