   Hi I brought my sister and four other friends to have a fun day at great adventures, two days ago , we left early in the morning to have a good 8 hours at the park in the middle of the week on purpose because we didn't want be with the weekend crowd.
   When we arrived there around 11 am we went straight to business, the park was packed and lines were running 2 hours each, some of the fun roller coasters you had to pay an extra ? dollars to be on it, they had something called the flash card, a way they have to make an extra buck on you, ? dollars extra to skip line making the regular people lines longer. Strange, when you walk in the park you think this is just a place to have equal fun at this point, kind of going back to your child hood when money and problems didn't concern you but not at Great Adventures.
   Another thing is the food prices, a hot dog is cheaper than bottle of water and you can't bring your on, the all metal detector is to look for bottles of water in your bag and make you spend the money, there is no water fountains and they make you check you bags as small as it can be in lockers for an extra charge. So if you need to drink anything and hydrate in the 10 hours you spend there you ll probably should be looking at an extra 10 dollars for each family member.
   The machines are controlled by teenagers, with no adult supervision, ours lives and safety are entrusted to them and whoever had checked on the machines before the opening by observation they pay no attention to their jobs, i watched one of the most humiliating things done to a teenager girl at the superman roller coaster. They have this employes teenagers at the entrance of each line to supervise people getting in with bags and drinks, make you check you small bag, , we stood on the super man line for 50 minutes, was one of the smallest lines we faced, behind me was a girl who weight at list 250 pounds. She stood on line the all time until she arrived at the cars, they let her go on, tried to strap her into and told her to leave in front of hundreds of people. I wasn't sure if i was more up set about her humiliation or to the fact they tried when was obvious in that kind of machine she wouldn't fit..
   The last thing that happen was the last line we stood in the end of the day to the new bat-man machine, from 8:30 to the end when there was only 7 people to our time to get in than the machine broke leaving us no time to go to another one. In the 9 hours we were there we had just enough time to go in 3 rides.Now you tell me if you think it was worth ?
