what can I expect from Great Adventure Arcade ?
« on: May 12, 2004, 12:33:06 am »
I am off to Great Adventure this Friday. Its been a while since I went there. I am going to G.A. in Jackson NJ. I am hoping to see some classics and hopefully test them out (of course I have to drop in $$$). Anyone here been there lately ? How was the Arcade Center ? I will post a tiny story of an Adventure I will have this weekend. Maybe a few snaps too.

I'm a Great Adventure junkee (though I haven't been able to go as many times as I used to).   The arcade... well... hmmm... same as any other modern arcade really, 99% shooting/driving games and then a bunch of skeeball machines, though I haven't really seen it in the past year.  Don't hold you breath for any classics though, I don't recall seeing any (may be an Ultracade there though).

However, I do recommend riding Nitro at least three or four times.  Oh and if you ride Batman and Robin: Chiller - keep your head back at all times.  ;)  One more thing: Superman is big on gimmick but not the best coaster.   Have fun!

I live about 5 miles from there, walked past the arcade last year, saw a DDR.  Sorry, can't help much.

BTW, one of the ways you can identify yourself as a long time New Jersey resident (aside from the obvious  ;D), is that you call Six Flags Great Adventure.

Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a whampin' and whompin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.
