Huh, wasn't expecting that to open for another week.

Took my own pov when visiting yesterday

I'm dissapointed by those airtime hills, but, the first one was much faster and they were both empty cars, so...

For a spinner, that looks very impressive and far more substantial than most. .
Also the interaction is like something we'd see in BPB. ?

Yeah there's not a lot of airtime on them, mild floater at best, even with full cars. It's still fun though and makes a good family coaster.

 

[Lofty]

I don't really know why you'd even expect to get airtime on those hills... I mean no other Gerstlauer spinner is famous for the airtime on their hills.

 

[Jcoasters]

Well, they should start upping the airtime!

Hun this is a family spinning coaster not a Blitz.

I heard all the rides, aside from Blasting Bronco should be open from today. Don't know how true this is though.

Source ?

Source ?

I can't remember.

And like I said, I don't know how true it is so take it with a pinch of salt.

Right ?. Sounds like you're wasting our time

I would suggest that we only post updates if we know - first hand or sourced only.

Otherwise it's a little pointless, isn't it?

But I did hear that they were gunna open the secret aquatrax that they’ve hidden in the basement today. It’s themed to Face from Nick Jr.

Looks like the park quietly lowered their prices:

American Dream - Fantasy, Fashion, Food, Family, and Fun

The unrivaled destination for indoor family entertainment - Nickelodeon theme park, DreamWorks Water Park, indoor skiing - located close to New York City.

It's not clear if this was due to the overwhelming backlash or if the price automatically swings with what day of the week it is or if the original price was simply an early access price. Regardless, $50 is much more palatable than $80, especially factoring in rerides.


EDIT: AND it looks like parking is free now too, as long as you're not visiting during a football game. Nice!

Spectacular on both accounts. The bf and I are looking to go towards the end of December.

My full thoughts on the park after my visit :

 

[cocoa]

Does anyone else feel that the lighting is weird in this park? Like its just a bit... dark. Especially where takabisha et al live. The one at MoA looks so bright and inviting and the park layout is so nicely central to the mall, but this one just feels uninviting. Maybe when it picks up more crowds it'll feel more alive, but for the moment something just feels wrong about it, that's hard to put my finger on.

lack of theming/scenery/greenery?
MOA definitely feels like a park, that just happens to be in enclosed. While I haven't been to the New Jersey location, yet, it definitely looks very...warehouse, sterile.
