Damn it, I need a turbo. Good thing I started my turbo fund!
Sounds like this could be a good time. Are you people seriously getting there at 9am? Meeting anywhere outside the park before you go in? (Like the Wawa or McDonalds outside?) what time are you planning on leaving at?

i dunno about staying there all day... the kings dominion thing was great and we were all worn out after like 8 hours. or maybe it was just me. I'll have friends with me, so i'll leave when they get tired. also, i won't be going home afterward, so please no one count on me to lead haha 
I will be posting maps soon

actually the directions above are good, but here are some maps to enhance detail 


I've never been to the Six Flags in NJ before, so i'm not sure how we should do the meet-up thing. I would think since we're getting there early we can go in, park a little far from the entrance to ensure we all get to park together, and then once everyone arrives we can go into the park.
anyone familiar with the area, are there any good resturants around? I'm thinking it'd be fun to leave the park in the afternoon to cruise out to lunch
park food is so expensive.
ALSO, we need some meet-up points maybe. people coming up from VA, we could meet up at the springfield mall first, then meet up with the maryland people at the cheasapeake house or maryland house service area? or there's a rest stop off the NJTP at exit 3, just 4 miles from the Six Flags exit. from northern VA it will take us 3 hours to arrive at six flags. the cheasapeake house rest area is 2 hours from northern va. before i get too far, is anyone in MD interested in meeting up at a rest area? if there's enough people then we'll decide on a time.
you people coming from the north can work out your own travel mess

only thing around is Mc donalds.. and if u leave the park... im pretty sure u gotta pay parking again. 
and as far as parking.. heres what everyone should do.....
when u enter the parking lot after paying... u can only basically go straight....
EVERYONE SHOULD HEAD STRAIGHT BACK TO THE FAR RIGHT CORNER ... as this area is what fills up last in the park...

yea everyone is supposed to be there at 9... but whatever.... honestly... if everyone cant be there in the mornin... NO BIGGIE... just try to get there. If you guys have nextels let me know... ill give you my 2-way number so if people come late they can still meet up if we're all in the park..
Steph... as far as the 4 of us ( me , you , alex and becca) Im gonna buy the Speedpass(40 sumthing) when i get there for us. that way u guys just have to get in the park and youll be set to go.. and can refund me in drinks or something
later on that night.Everyone showing up late... please post up so we all know. that way u dont miss us and whatnot...

So, we're meeting at the Springfield mall at 5am? That seems a bit early. We should meet there at 6am since it's only a 3 hour drive. Ok, maybe meet at 545 and leave at 6. How's that sound?
Also, where in the mall? How does in front of the Target sound? By the number 3 entry or something?

this map shows where we meet at the springfield mall:

i say we aim at meeting up there at 5:30am. the minute everyone arrives, we take off. because of this, we need to know WHO is going to meet us at the springfield mall. basically what would be anyone south or west of DC. if anyone beyond springfield wants to make a meet spot in maryland on the way up, you have a rest stop of I-95 around exit 35 and one around exit 75. pick one if you wish, but let us know so we know to stop there and pick up you people
BTW:
PARK RE-ENTRY
To leave the park and return later the same day, you must get your hand stamped before you exit the front gate and re-enter through the Same Day Re-Entry Gate. For parking re-entry, present your parking receipt at the parking lot toll booth.
so if anyone's up to meeting at a certain time to cruise out to lunch, let's do it!

What time is everyone meeting in the parking lot? I have work that day, but in the afternoon, so I would definitely like to stop by if the meet doesn't start too late

Ok, I guess I can sacrifice an extra 15 mins and be there by 530. Freddy, you have my number so if I'm not there by 530 on the dot make sure you give me a call, just in case my alarm didn't go off.
Also, I'm down for going to lunch somewhere. I'll probably stop by McDs or something on the way to the parking lot to get something to eat.
Man, I'm going to be tired as a **** that night, hehe.

i tend to sleep a lot......specially when i go out previous night you guys (VA) need to leave no later than 5:30am. traffic on the jersey turnpike is like traffic on 495. unpredictable. u guys might get there a lil early if you don't have any problems, but it's better to be safe then sorry.
i just thought i'd throw my $0.02 in to help you guys out.

OK, here's my advice. I live 15 minutes from six flags, I know the area. Since you guys are coming up so early, the turnpike won't be bad. But, you should leave between 5:30-6 to make it there by 9. If you want to go some place to eat besides McDonald's or Wawa...there is a pizza place about 5 minutes away....and a couple others that I can't remember, but I know where they are. Maybe we'll meet you guys there around then, cause I'm not sure what time we are planning to get there yet.

the parking lot can hold all our cars, right? i'm guessing it can't be a small mcdonalds being so close to the park.
i think it's a good idea though.. around 9-10am we meet up at the mcdonalds lot, hang out, have breakfast, then when we're all ready to go to the park we all cruise out at the same time. this way people can come hang out even if they don't want to enter the park. sound good?
