SFNE is about 2 hours 15 minutes drive as is LC. TGE is a bit over 3. I've had it take as much as 4. I just find TGE despite the average rede selection to have much more charm than SFNE. The rides are definitely better at SFNE but TGE has a few solid attractions and so many little things to look at as you stroll around the park. #Post#: 2824-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: depotrat Date: April 24, 2021, 6:42 am --------------------------------------------------------- Screamscape is reporting that the Giant Wheel is now being dismantled and references to it have been removed from the website. #Post#: 2825-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: Mrceagle Date: April 25, 2021, 10:51 am --------------------------------------------------------- Hasn't it been off the website for a while? Any locals in the area that might be able to confirm this? I am not surprised this would be one of the rides SFNE ends up removing. The ride offers a great view but it's in a terrible location and you have to walk out of your way just to ride it. I wanted to ride this on my last trip but I couldn't get anyone in my party to do it. #Post#: 2838-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: Windee Date: May 10, 2021, 7:27 am --------------------------------------------------------- Went to the park yesterday, the Giant Wheel is still up…. Although that whole section of the park is blocked off with Raging River not operating yet. Very crowded day, especially with the limited capacity on the rides themselves. Ie… Pandamonium is every other seat, regardless if you’re in the same party. Same with Cannonball and the coasters. Operations weren’t pretty, whether it be rides or food service. (35 minutes to get a chicken tender basket and the line for the dippin dots stand went to the Jolly Tree Theater) ADK Outlaw’s platform is taking shape nicely up in ghost town. Got a few laps on Comet though, so that makes for a good day regardless. #Post#: 2839-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: Mrceagle Date: May 11, 2021, 10:46 am --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. I don't get the loading rules with groups. I get wanting to give people space but if your a group they should be putting you together to get as many people on safely as possible. It does sound like they have some things to work out. distancing is important but time to get things might be a staffing issue also. #Post#: 2926-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: Lmm1986phishy Date: August 13, 2021, 6:19 am --------------------------------------------------------- Has anyone else noticed that the old Bucket Brigade has been closed the entire summer? I've been checking just about daily and thought it was weird that it was closed 4th of July. #Post#: 3056-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: Windee Date: January 10, 2022, 2:56 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Just scrolling through the app, looks like they posted opening day as May 21. Usual 11-6 hours…. Probably will change, but thought I’d post it. #Post#: 3071-------------------------------------------------- Re: General Park Discussion By: Lmm1986phishy Date: June 1, 2022, 8:45 am --------------------------------------------------------- Would you guys visit a subreddit dedicated to Great Escape similiar to this forum? It doesnt seem like this gets much foot traffic and I wish there was more discussion and reddit seems like a central place. Im thinking about setting it up if enough of you guys are down. Update: Just made it feel free to join guys! Looking forward to having some discussions together about the park.
