so yea im going monday and i've been there before (twice last year), but now i have a camera and i wanna try to get it on the rides.  i was just wondering if anyone's been there lately and knows if the people are strict about bringing stuff on, or if it's just at your own risk.  i'll post vids after if anyone wants to see too.

At mine they stop the ride if your on the way up to the first drop and take your stuff, so just hide it until your going

will do.  nitro has to be the smoothest coaster there so i should have a steady hand.  and i hope they didn't take out batman and robin.  it still says they have it on the site, but it's usually not running whenever im there.  and if i can get on kingda ka without waiting for 3 hours like last time, i'll try to video that too.

Man El Toro is the best rollercoaster i have ever been on, BY FAR. It blows kingda ka and nitro out of the water.

El Toro is sick....we went a few weeks ago...the best seat on El Toro is the back car, and its better at night....if you stay till the park closes there is no line and we rode it like 6 times in the last hour...plus we got final ride with the coaster operators because they liked us so much

Ok...carnies = carnivals. People who run shit at amusement parks are much different. They don't just take people off the streets and let them work the rides. I garuntee there's an extensive training process, and I'm sure they hire people with experience.

well your probably the more knowlegeble on theme parks.. i havent been in an amusement park in like.. 10 years.. but i have been to great adventure a lot back in the 90s i guess, and the ride people were assholes.. they dont even check that you are strapped in really, the just kind of.. touch the handlebars.. and snarl. dolphin show and the like safari drive through thing are nice though.

Thread creator, don't waste your time on the safari. Such a waste. It has gone down hill over the years. When I went in 2005 it was depressing. Stick to the rides.

First of all, they don't even let the monkeys/baboons run freely anymore. I will bash on the safari. It was a waste for us to leave hours early just to see it. It was scarce. Not many animals. Definatley not worth my money.

yes its quite cruel actually, mostly just stereotypical wt people feeding giraffes hamburgers. so i dono, i dont venture to jersey anymore. i went on my first 'upside down' roller coaster there.. i thinki was ten. its all very.. vague. but it was that grey one.

ha don't worry i didn't go to the safari.  we actually got on three coasters (Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro) within the first hour so we did have time to do it, but i knew it wasn't worth it.  we rode every major thing in the park twice and some three times, and then some other smaller ride things.  it was prob one of the best days i've ever been because i only saw maybe two camps there, and no lines longer than like a half hour (except kingda ka).  i gotta find out how to downsize these videos though.

Really? Haha that's awesome. So you've been on it, I'm afraid of heights. I'll give it a few more years and make sure no one dies of fear. Then I will go :P

love that coaster... we do it first thing in the morning before theres a line, then we do it at night, in like the last hour that the park is open and everyones gone home, otherwise the line is insanely long

yea that's the only way to do it.  we got there when it opened and were prob 30th in line, so it was like 3 minute wait, then immediately after we got off, we went back to check the line and it was already almost 45 minutes.  then we went one mroe time right before we left and waited like a half hour at most.   i'd definately say it's not worth waiting longer than 45 minutes for, but everyone should def experience it once.

aright well here's the nitro one.  it didn't come out too good cause we weren't in front, and i just threw in music so you didn't have to hear people sounding stupid.

and finally here's just two better pics of kingda ka.  it's really hard to explain just how massive it is until you're sitting there waiting for it to start.
