Big Vacation/Coaster Trip

So in a couple weeks I'm going to be going on my first real coaster trip. I will be leaving St. Louis Friday and flying into Philadelphia. I will head to Jackson New Jersey for Six Flags Great Adventure. Saturday will be spent at Six Flags FestEvil, a metal festival that is there for the first time. On Sunday I'm going to go back to the park and get a flash pass to make sure I can ride everything. So my first question is what are some good restaraunts to eat at around there that aren't very pricey?

Next I will be flying back to St. Louis for the night. Monday morning I will be taking Amtrak to Los Angeles California. The day I get there I will probably go to Venice Beach. I am planing on going to Knotts Berry Farm and Magic Mountain while I'm there. Then I will be taking Amtrak back to St. Louis. So the second question I have are what are some must do places around Venice Beach? Next what are some good restaraunts on Venice Beach? And finally if I'm going to Knotts Berry Farm on a Friday is one day enough?

I will be posting a trip report for this and it will be long and detailed. I will have many pictures from the trip but I will be outing them on my Facebook page. If you want to see them you can add me to look at them.

You can also upload them on photobucket, it's free and I believe it has an unlimited storage space now. Looking forward to reading/seeing them.

Not far from GAdv's gate, on Rt. 537, are some restaurants. There's a "food strip mall" with Mexican, pizza, ice cream, and an Irish Pub that I walked out of on my one visit due to slow/non-existent service. none too expensive. There's a bar/restaurant called Tommy's Inn at Millstone, a casual place but with a pretty full menu. I ate there a few times years ago, but my most recent visit last season, I only had a drink. There's a WaWa (don't ask) convenience store where you can get sandwiches. Plus, Burger King, McDonalds, and KFC/Long John Silvers occupy some real estate there. When exactly are you going?

I didn't read anything about that heavy metal fest. Must have missed it.

*EDIT*...I see the Metal fest on the site, so that answers my question about the dates you'll be there. Have a blast!

Well thank you. I might have to eat at Long John Silvers. All of them around where I live have been closed.

I feel your pain, Brandon. My love for LJS has been well-documented here on URC. Now if Jersey would only get a (bleeping) Waffle House!!
