Dang, I wish i could go but i live in ohio... D:

[TTD03]

^ Yea, I wish I knew about this earlier, so people could plan!

There is always next year though!

I would definitely go, but I have a 0% chance of getting off of work that weekend.

I might attend. I'll have to save up some cash though as I blew all of my money in Virginia lol

[rcmaniac25]

I intend on going... need to wait until weekend to have time to actually sign up (yes, I'm that busy).

[TTD03]

I also plan on attending, just checking on a few things.

I can use my season pass for park admission right? So I only have to pay for the event...

[TTD03]

^ Yep! $39 for the event with a season pass, or $78 for admission plus the event!

I'd love to come, but its 3,444miles from me!

Too bad this annoucement is a little too late. It's impossible for me to join in now

Too Bad, ill love to of gone, but little late for me .

[TTD03]

I've talked to the owner, and believe me, this was tentatively planned months ago, but Great Adventure always does things about 1 month in advance, aka, late. So sorry about that. Next year, Ill be sure to get the tentative date out earlier!

Ticket purchased... now I just need to figure out how to get there

[Paradox]

Can't make it sorry.

Hey everyone! Thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm Matt from Great Adventure Online. I'm the one running this event with Tim from Coaster Crew.
We've been hosting GADV Online Day for a few years now as a way for our forum members to meet-up for a fun day in the park. We've changed drastically over the years, and sort of grown out of up-keeping a forum, so now we host this event for anyone who wants to come. It's a great chance to spend a fun day in the park and meet other coaster enthusiasts in-person. (Plus, we actually have exclusive ride time! With only about 50 people!)

We really tried to plan in advance this year, but Six Flags decided to be Six Flags. They're restructuring their special event workflow and that is preventing them from confirming any of our stuff. Really sorry about that.
Tim and I really appreciate everyone who is coming and everyone who wanted to come. I love getting to host this event every year and bring people together at Great Adventure.

We still have some more perks up our sleeves that we're trying to get "confirmed" enough to announce, so definitely check back for that.

We still need more people, so please invite your friends! I look forward to meeting some of you! Thanks!

Were you a member on SSCoasters? Your name sounds familiar.

^ Welcome Matt... I think we've talked before

Hi there Matt! I believe I know you from a couple of different sites, it's great to see you here!

[Oscar]

Hi there

If anyone here is passing by Dayville CT that would like to hitch me a ride on the way, that'd be great! Otherwise I can't see myself going. :/

[Paradox]

I'm like 20 minutes away from Hartford.

We just confirmed that we will have reserved VIP seating for the new magic show, Brad Ross' Unbeleivable!

Registration closes Sunday (8/16) at midnight.
