I'm dying to go there, but as the awkwardness of going alone will probably outweight the thrills of the rides, I'm trying to persuade some friends in PA to meet up with me there. For that purpose I tried looking at the Six Flags website, but it's really poor on descriptions of rendez-vous points and mass transit connections, so I thought some of you might have been there, and could help me out:
1) Is it meaningful to "meet up at the entrance", or are there several of these, or is it swarmed by huge crowds of people that make it difficult to spot one another? Are there alternative rendez-vous points, which you don't have to have been to before in order to find?
2) How do you get to the park from Manhattan? The website links to http://www.njtransit.com/sf_bu_schedules.shtml as if that should explain everything, but none of the busses listed there mentions Six Flags as destination?
3) Are there other rollercoaster parks around NYC?

Hope someone can help a frustrated rollercoaster fan.

hey there,

Six Flags has only one entrance, but it is always swarmed with people. if you all have cell phones you can plan to meet at the entrance and then pick something distinctive to stand under & call each other to say that's where you are. if not, then you could meet at the entrance, but RIGHT on the edge of the sidewalk where the cars are all dropping people off... that way don't have to venture around ticket booths and stuff to find each other.

hope that helps. it's been a long time since i was last there, so i have forgotten all the distinctive things you could stand next to.

we should try to do a TA outing to six flags again... last time (in 03) we got "rained out" but man it was a fun day anyway... PPR Six Flags outing part two, anyone?

Rachel

Thank you for answering my question Rachel. I guess I'll have to rely on phones and ad hoc landmarks then. The reasons why I was hesitant to go there only armed with a cell phone (the immediate solution), are (1) that my experiences with cell phone coverage in the US tells me not to rely on them everywhere (at least for T-mobile), and (2) a couple of years ago I spent nearly an hour meeting up with friends outside the cathedral in Barcelona because it had two entrances, each equipped with queues, t-shirt sellers, parks, and every other landmark one could think of.

I've been rooting for an early may trip - any reason why that's a bad idea? Further, I've been trying to arrange for a working day, figuring that less people will be there - solid reasoning?

I used to live like 30min away from six flags, ive been there way too many times

Six Flags sux balls

Hurricane Harbor owns

(mostly becuase i hate waiting....and in six flags...............expect to wait half an hour during the summer to get in a freaking ride).
