News Project 2026: Shoreline Pier (Boardwalk Phase I feat. Barrels O' Fun & More)
- Thread starter RDL
- Start date
Inclement weather unfortunately cancelled the Star Spangled Nights fireworks this evening, but it also provided an opportunity for some quaint Shoreline Pier photos, along with a not-as-quaint video over one of the newer props in the area.

Barrels O’ Fun just opened a few minutes ago. Made it on one of the first trains and can confirm that the spinning is just as crazy as ever lol.
Great ride, but desperately needs some shade over the queue and station!

Park President Mike has already said that there will be shade over the platform soon.
Now if they could just get wave swinger up. At this point you'd suspect there is a missing part or something since the ride appears to be ready.
I believe I left Great Adventure about an hour before it opened. I'm so sad right now LOL
Testing has started on the Wave Swinger, testing footage starts at about 10:30.

I am so disappointed they repainted this ride. The rainbow pattern on the underside of the awning and all of the classical artwork portraits it had when it was at SFA were so beautiful. Honestly with this paintjob, it screams "ice cream" or "cake" to me and would be more fitting located around the Carousel and Yum Yum Palace than a boardwalk themed area.
It's also interesting to see that they're running it without a third of the seats.

you know what would make the wave swinger even better, repaint the top blue and white and name it: the flying wave!
Wow, reminds me of the Busch Gardens Williamsburg version. I'm remembering an identical color scheme.
During the ARCM live stream he showed the new Shoreline Pier sign.
That’s FANTASTIC. this area really feels like… possibly the best themed land in six flags history? Immersive, detailed, bright and colorful, well-landscaped, sound design. The entrance sign really ties it all together
I don’t know how they did it, but barrels of fun is even more insane than Cajun. Holy shit lmao
It doesn’t look like it belongs in a Six Flags park at all and that’s a fantastic thing. It’s even more impressive considering the area was a somewhat last minute decision.
All of Shoreline has been excellent and this is just a perfect entrance sign. Kudos to the park for bringing this together last minute by all accounts.
... which sort of makes this angle so much funnier than it needs to be, with 70% of the background being the out of place Superman
Really hoping long term they do something about it. SP is a great vibe and standard of theming, and the middle of that midway really should have something to carry that atmosphere to the other side.
