Question I see Paris, I see France, I see SFNJ Clearing Land!

There seems to be something lurking about in the branchy woods of Jackson, New Jersey...

Can we say

Make what you will of the photographs below, but I'm pretty sure they're not clearing those trees just because they're dead...

Anyhoo, I like the idea of a B&M flyer, but who knows what it'll be.

Whoa, definiately looks like SFGADV will be getting something next year. I wonder if they'll get a huge expansion like MM and get 3 rides in the same year. I kind of doubt it though. At least there is some proof that something is going on over there.

im going on the 8th and ill take some new pics, like ill try to get some from the top of a coaster or something. i hope us here in nj do get something, but unlike other ppl that have sfgadv as a homepark, i wont be upset if we dont, b/c we have plenty of other great coasters.

I like that attitude. Optomistic, but not so absorbed into believing it will be the greatest thing since whatever the greatest thing is. And yes you are right, Great Adventure does have a whole load of fun toys

wow that looks like some actual proof have not seen that before.

i am being honest some one finally had the idea to take pictures of the infamous land clearing you must have one nice camera to get that distance i was there on the 26 and saw slight empty holes in the woods around the lake but i just brought a cheesy throw away camera so i could no way get those great shots. does look kinda odd though why would they do land cleaaring now and so far away it seems like there is a whole new area being cleared in there and yet it is so far away from the actual park o well just hope it wont end up as a parking or a water retention pond lol. do hope too find out what they are doing though
p.s
also when i was there i have some contsruction photos of chiller. to my great surprise the whole ride was down b/c the were taking off the brakes at the end of the tracks and replacing them it looked like it was going to be down for awhile hope not though

When I went there, the land clearing looked like nothing much, just the dam thing, but I do hope we get all that stuff that was saying, but it doesn't seem like SFGAdv is missing sumthing like coasters..it's missing somthing else...somthing like to make it cleaner...get rid of the gum...Yuck i can't stand gum!But besides that it's missing somthing..

I have a good feeling towards Viper's removal. That POS is just waiting to be torn off park property. It was so close to being sent to the chopping block last season...

Oh, only one can hope for now

...GASM or Rolling Thunder also make good contestants.

well if its gonna be put where viper is, we dont have many choices. we wont get a launched b/c chiller already uses enough power, and i doubt we'll get a deja vu clone. so what could rlly go where viper is? i dont think vipers spot is valuable real estate for a new coaster, whic is why i think viper will stay and gasm or rt will be removed if a coaster is removed.

I'm thinking a Mad/Wild Mouse in its place.

Why not? It's a good possiblity, and they are yet to see a ride even close in resemblance to one.

I don't think they will, but if they took down RT and Viper, that would be a pretty nice chunk of land for a new coaster.
