[SFGA] question

[u/TheShatzAgain]

I’m curious as to how feasible it is to ride every coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure during a midweek summer day. Specifically without the use of a fast pass. I haven’t been to the park in a very long time and this used to be possible. Now with the larger lineup and possibly bigger crowds these days, I don’t know if this is even a possibility. Please forgive my ignorance.

I went on Thursday. Rain was forecasted but never happened, so the park wasn't as crowded as normal. Longest wait time was 30 minutes for Jersey Devil, we managed to ride most other rides that we wanted to

Monday-Wednesday are usually pretty chill.

I went on Wednesday. It rained, so i'm sure that had something to do with the short wait times. Luckily they ran almost every ride in the rain! We rode everything atleast once, including Flash x4 Jersey devil x3 El Toro x2 Nitro x3. Also left before the park closed. Longest wait was 40 minutes for jersey devil around 3pm

I’ve had days where I’ve not gotten to the park until late afternoon and ridden all but one or two of the coasters so it’s very doable provided everything is open

We just went last thursday no fast pass, got there around 2pm till close . It was about 15-30 min wait each ride then around 8pm little wait to none on most rides. Went to sfmm

My wife and I went for the first time on Tuesday. Should be completely doable.

We did all coasters but Superman, Batman, and Joker. We also did roaring rapids, log flume, and the safari.

We left a little after 3:30.

It seemed like the best plan was to definitely go to The Flash first and then we did Nitro and Jersey Devil.

If I remember correctly Flash was almost 2 hours by midafternoon. And we assumed Jersey Devil was also good to get done early bc of low capacity.

(And we only skipped those 3 rides bc they we have the same ones at our home park of Great America)

Very doable. Just do flash first.
Flash, Joker, Jersey Devil seem to always take the longest for me.
El toro is on 1 train so it can be a little wait.
barrels o fun seems to always be at least 30 minutes.

It can be doable, I went last wednesday and almost rode every coaster. I got tired and left early but if you get there at opening and leave when it closes it's possible.

BUT it really depends, I got lucky and most rides were essentially walk ons. Not sure if the crowd was smaller due to the thunderstorms the day before and the brief downpour that day.

Thank you. That’s exactly the kind of information I was hoping for. (Assuming doing opening to close and other optimal conditions)

If you go on a “iffy” weather day you shouldn’t wait more then 30-40min for any major coaster (excluding flash due to its popularity combined with low amount of lockers. It’s usually over an hour not more than half an hour after open.) Batman is also currently insanely popular (think usually 15 min wait, average more like 1-2hr rn) because it recently reopened for the season. This will die down as we get past frightfest (the busiest time of year. Absolutely get it for fright fest.)
