Daily operation at Great Adventure is here!  Even though it was rainy and cool, the park was much more crowded than expected made up of mostly school and bus trips.  The roller coasters were fairly packed and the rest of the rides were walk-ons including the Safari Off Road Adventure.  No activity was apparent around Zumanjaro or Kingda Ka when we were there but it may have been because of the rain.   Supposedly, it was testing later in the day.  Here now some photos....

Landscaping has been added to Hurricane Harbor's entrance. Superman had a healthy line which stretched back to its entrance. A new VIP Tours meeting area has been set up in the front of the entrance area.
     
  Crushed penny machines are making a comeback.  
    A huge line for El Toro formed after it appeared to be testing in the early afternoon.
     
Numerous animal inspired topiaries have been added to the Safari Off Road Adventure turnaround outside its station.
     
    Shaded TV mounts have been added to SORA's queue.
Different color belts on some SORA trucks makes finding a matching belt pair easier.    
     
    These two ostriches were having a disagreement!
     
     
     
It isn't only kids that overuse cell phones!
