I havn't been to this park in 18 years. boy do I need to go
back.
In 2001 SFGAdv was a different beast. the Safari was separate
gate there were fewer coasters but more flats. one flat they
had that particularly stood out was Jumping Jack Flash a Huss
Jump ride. While it was amazing ride and spectacular to watch it
was in a horrible location. the portable version was put upon
the midway near the ice cram themed restaurant. basically you
had to walk around building or through building to get to it.
This made no sense since the boardwalk area had wide open areas
that could have houses the ride and the rides carnival fencing
wouldn't have been so out of place there.
Sadly this ride and many other flats have left the park.

Most of the War on Lines flats were unreliable and were removed
before all the financial issues.

I'm sure that was their excuse but a big chunk of the flats
removed form SFGAdv where relocated to other Parks. So they
couldn't have been that unreliable.

We rode Wonder Woman several times on Thursday. Like Harley
Quinn it’s a ton of fun. Two different experiences since you
don’t have a ride like Joker to come close to but this is the
larger model like CraZanity and the hang time weightlessness is
incredible.

Had my first trip to Great Adventure over the past few days.
Went for the 4th, left our house at 7:30 and got there right in
time for park opening. Lines were a little busy for security but
we got a flashpass and didn't even need it. It was however worth
the 3 or 4 rides we got on the log flume. I can see why they
take these out of the parks, it was looking a little bit sketchy
there especially when it was loaded with 5-6 people and it
looked close to going over the side.
Our original plan was to stay for the fireworks and then stay at
a hotel overnight and go to the park the next morning and leave
in the evening. However, my boyfriend ended up not feeling well
from the heat and we left around 6:30 and headed to the hotel
with the plan to go back the next morning. We stayed till around
the same time the next night after going to hurricane harbor for
an hour before it stormed. Headed back into the theme park just
to get food for dinner, we ended up getting a hotel for a second
night so we could go to the water park in the morning which
didn't end up happening. Saturday ended up being a stormy
morning so we hit up a couple of rides and then we got out of
doing Dark Knight for the second time before everything shut
down due to lightning in the area.
Impressions of rides I did:
Nitro 1x - crazyyy, greyed out during the helix. I only just
went on Superman for the first time last year so I'm trying to
get over my fear of heights on roller coasters and this was an
interesting way to do it. The lift hill seems to take even
longer than our Superman and it's also really loud which makes
the anticipation worse.
Batman The Ride 1x - rode in the back row and the forces were
intense. My bf's restraint ended up coming unlocked but the
seatbelt held up and he quickly pulled the restraint down again.
Given this, he was freaked out about going on any more roller
coasters with OTSR but by the end of the day he felt better.
Skull Mountain 3x - awesome indoor coaster, kinda reminds me of
big thunder mountain just inside
Dark Knight Coaster 2x - sooo much better than our Gotham City
Gauntlet. Rumor is this was supposed to be at our park? Wish
that permit situation didn't end up bad.
Bizarro 1x - I loved this floorless coaster, the themeing was
really great. My restraint needed to be pushed down more so I
didn't like the feeling that I was falling out of my seat on the
inversions, but other than that I really enjoyed it.
Log Ride 5x by the end of the three days - sketchy log ride, but
overall really fun with multiple drops instead of just the one
large one most log rides have.
Skyride - great view of the park, little sketchy though.
Big Wheel 1x - probably the better view of the park rather than
the sky ride.
Safari 1x - it was almost like I was at Disney again. Some of
their enclosures looked a bit small, especially the bear cub in
Camp Aventura which was throwing itself against the cage to try
and escape.
Congo Rapids 1x - this was down both Thursday and Friday and was
only up on Saturday when we went. Gets you a lot more wet than
our rapids ride does, but it feels shorter.
I didn't get to do the Green Lantern/Superman/Justice League
area since we were headed over there when the storm rolled in on
Saturday. Hopefully we'll be back later again this year.

I'm surprised you didn't put this in the trip report section.
Sounds like you had a fun trip. Personally never found Flumes
Sketchy even this older raised arrow ones. Nitro is very
powerful in the helix.

Was going to but looks like we don't have a great adventure
section to put it in!
It was really great, it left me wanting GAdv to be our home park
tbh.

Curious did you not ride El Toro? My last ride on it was rough
and not enjoyable curious if it is any better.
