As early as the first week in NY, I have already wanted to go to Six Flags Great Adventures. Ironically, our friend Tom had found free tickets on the opening day for the season online. Not only do all 5 of us have tickets, we had 2 extra tickets that had to be thrown away.We decided to take only one car and squeeze into Tom's beamer, making him our designated driver. After hours of chatting, singing, and eating Chinese take outs, we arrived half an hour late at 5:30 pm.
Although the amusement park was giving out free tickets, the temperature was at high 71, and it was the opening day for the year, the were less people than any other day. Without speed passes, we were fortunate enough to ride one rollercoaster after another. I started to pose at the cameras at the rollercoasters, but unfortunately, they were out of service. Throughout the day, we caught shows and parades of looney tune characters. By 10 pm, there were fireworks as well. In the middle of our day, Rob and I got to pig out at our favorite Boardwalk food - boardwalk fries, funnel cake, and even corn dog. While we were roaming around, 2 guy friends decided to sit next to each other in a go cart race. On the other hand, the rest of us found free Dippin' Dots. Apparently, the cash register was broken. Therefore, any customers that approach the counter receive them for free.
Earlier, we made plans to hunt down looney tune characters, but they were all waiting for us by the end of the day. The characters included, Bugs, Lola, Daffy, Tweety, Taz, PePe Le Pew, Road Runner, Porky, Porky's gf, Granny, Sylvester, Marvin, and many more. We had two fully charged cameras. Of course, we took pictures with all of them!! It was much easier than what we experienced in Disney Sea.
