Do coke cans still have the Six Flags discounts and if so what are the specifics of it? Or is there somewhere else to pick up discounts? I know Burger King used to have coupons for half off as well
Can someone from NJ answer something?

We're going to Great Adventure on the 19th and usually we go with the coca-cola discount. Since I'm in PA no cans have this discount. So my question is:Do coke cans still have the Six Flags discounts and if so what are the specifics of it? Or is there somewhere else to pick up discounts? I know Burger King used to have coupons for half off as well

Whew... good question. I remember that the coke cans had the discount last summer but I dunno about this summer. If they do still have the discount you could buy a can at an NJ convience store and it should have it on the can.

We were considering that but online we can get $8 off each ticket and not have to wait in line to buy a ticket, so if the coke deal isn't light years better than we'll just buy tickets online

go with on-line. To me not having to wait in line is worth about $40

I found the promotion on another message board. It's buy one get one free monday-thursday, but we're going on a Saturday(ug, I hate going on weekends because of lines), and $10 off any other day. We'll just get them online

Hey skierdude, is self-service gas still illegal in New Jersey? I think Oregon and NJ are the only states where you still can't pump your own gas. I think it's a stupid law but that's a whole another story.

yeah it's still illegal in Jersey. In fact, it's a felony and can result in jailtime. I did grow up in Jersey, plus nearly all of my friends and family live in NJ in case you're wondering how I know. I like having someone pump gas for you, getting out of the car is a pain in the ass.

Wow. A felony for pumping gas. What is our society coming to? Personally, I like pumping my own gas.

I don't know why it's a felony, at worst it should be a misdeminor.. But the law is the law and we all know how American law is always right :rolleyes: hence my sn and avatar

Can't say about New Jersey, but I'd assume it has the same effect.

The gas laws in Oregon work to create jobs. Instead of paying one person to serve as a gas station attendant behind the counter, petrol companies have to pay a counter man and at least one pump attendant. It might not seem like much, but every little bit helps--the last I heard, Oregon had the highest rate of unemployment and worst economy in the U.S.Can't say about New Jersey, but I'd assume it has the same effect.

Well it does create jobs. Think about how many gas stations there are in an entire state(hell I can count over 30 in my city alone). Now imagine every station having 1-3 attendents. That's a lot of jobs. Plus full service gas stations usually have mechanic shops, thus creating even more jobs

I dont really know why we have them in Jersey. I guess it is to create jobs. I like it because it helps lazy people like me out. It is a lot of jobs when you think about it so I guess its a good thing.

I think it is funny that it is a felony to pump ur own gas here but I like having it pumped for me. My dad always makes me go out and pump gas when we drive up to our ski house in Stowe, Vermont. It gets really cold outside in New York and Vermont so it isnt fun.

I'm not sure what the punishment is here in Oregon. I'm guessing misdemenor.

in virginia almost everywhere is self serve gas. I don't like pumping my own gas, but I'd rather pump my own than pay someone to pump it for me. they do it to make more jobs, but it usually results in more work for the attendants (with a little more pay).

you don't pay attendents, you can tip them if you want but you don't pay them. The only time I tip them is if I get them to wash my windows and check my oil

In Oregon if you pump your own gas it's only a $500 fine.

You may not slurp your soup
It is against the law to "frown" at a police officer
Car dealerships are forbidden from opening on Sunday
It is illegal to offer whiskey or cigarettes to animals a the local zoo
There will be no boiling of bones on the property

Upon further research it appears that NJ reduced it to a fine as well in 1999. I didn't live there then so I didn't know the law changed, but when I lived there every pump had a sign on it stating it was a felony to pump gas. On my research I found some funny NJ laws:You may not slurp your soup
