Six Flags Great Adventure: General Discussion

Also the business model of regular expensive coasters did not work and led to huge financial issues and between 2005-2010 faced huge financial issues and debt which did lead to bankruptcy. Since then they focused on much more cost effective additions and smaller coasters like the s&s free spins and RMC conversions and etc. in more recent years they started to add a few bigger additions with a few B&m dive coasters at their bigger parks, but generally investment levels in top end hardware is not like it was back in the mid 90’s through to about 2007.
 
Probably helped by buying in bulk from B+M and other manufacturers in those years of massive expansion (and bankruptcy). When you've got parks 1000s of miles apart there's no issues buying a bunch of each model and spreading them over your park portfolio.

Only type they've done that recently with was the S+S 4d coaster model.

Think I've been to seven legacy Six Flags parks now and they've all had areas with charm about them and some attempts at theming rides and areas. But then some also have areas of black top and car park coasters.
 
They've just posted a piece of track that'll be the parks 14th coaster, due to open this year in the refreshed boardwalk area of the park. The track is blue, but the belief is its the Zamperla spinner from Six Flags America formerly known as Ragin Cajun.
Wonder if the Nublaz from SFA will end up in this area as well.

The new centre piece ride for the boardwalk is the 2027 coaster and that's just started to go vertical as well.
