The Tri-State Area Thread

It should be there. Pretty sure all locations get Project DIVA. It looks like we are getting close now. They have Pump and SDVX already in the mall. A couple of my friends got jobs over there too so we will see!

SDVX already!? Oooh, I can really feel the hype now!!!
Seems like the opening date may be in early July at this rate!

Update for lack of update for 8otb - while they have some new pinball machines (if you're like me and love the older star trek pinball having that there is amazing), there's no real update on the music games I'm familiar with.

Allegedly though there are pictures of stepmaniaxes out in the wild so since 8otb is one part kyle ward test grounds we'll probably get it soon but there's no hard date, so says management.

No solid word on the r23 being put back on so since we're in this weird state of flux (especially given that there's no new hard itg stuff on there I even want to try atm) I haven't been into going a whole lot, might go next weekend to see if anything was added. :/

edit not worth a whole post: no changes yet as of 6/27

ROUND 1 OPENING Hicksville 10AM this Saturday! Hope to see you all there!!

JULY 1st I CAN'T GO :( I haven't been to broadway mall since I was like 5 even though I go to LI every year
I really hope to try out the new Round 1 sometime, and if I do I'll post here

---

let me know if you come to Long Island I will try and meetup! I plan to be at this place often

Hopefully we can meet up there!

---

I'll be there Saturday, most likely.

Currently banned from leaving the house until I return to college in September. ;w;

Thank goodness Old Westbury is just a short bus ride away from Hicksville.

---

I'll be here on the first day, hope to see most of y'all!

---

It's a rough trip for me but there's a decent chance I can make it Saturday, especially with my work moving one of our vacation days so I have a 4 day weekend.

Do you guys have a time in mind?

I'll be much more active with round 1 once the other NY one opens, bridge traffic makes long island not too attractive for me. On the other hand though prime time went from dubious to viable to bad again in 2 weeks time so I'd only be going to the break otherwise which maybe makes long island OK, but it's hard for me to say.

Here's to the machines actually being maintained. Hopefully.

---

I don't have a time in mind, if I even go at all...

Yeah I know how you feel getting around is a real pain. That's why going to NJ, PA and anywhere off this island is tough for me, expensive and time consuming. What you can do though is use the free bridges if you wanna avoid tolls and go early. Only thing you have to pay for is the tunnel going from NJ into NY I think. I will be there at 10AM when they open up but not sure how late I will stay. Really excited though! If anybody wants to get in touch with me I got all my social media links on my profile here lol

Excuse my unfamiliarity but free bridges sound nice, which ones should I be on the lookout for? I looked at google maps and it's not quite as bad of a ride for me as I thought assuming there's not a ton of traffic.

So I guess I should be able to make it Saturday and if all goes well maybe I'll end up doing this every week instead lol.

---

I just kind of learned of it myself so my trips to Exton's Round 1 and 8 on the Break aren't as bad now. As for free bridges you can use The Brooklyn Bridge
The Manhattan Bridge
The Williamsburg Bridge
The Queens Bridge
these are all free you just drive through Manhattan and take one of those. If you use waze or google maps you can tell it to avoid tolls on your navigation. The only time you will have to pay money is the tunnel into Manhattan from NJ.

For Manhattan bridges, East side is free, west side is $15
Last I checked, that's how it works. Maybe the GW is free but I'm not sure.
Or I'm just spreading misinformation. Please correct me if I am...

Also I went to the Break yesterday. Jubeat Qubell is in all Japanese so I was very much confused, but the game is a lot of fun. Totally try it out when you have a chance, the charting in the game is almost like choreography, it's really cool.

---

I don't remember the George Washington Bridge costing anything the few times I've been on it, before and after I got an EZ Pass.

---

This costs 15$ when entering NY, 10.50$ for EZ Pass off peak and 12.50$ EZ Pass peak hours. Same cost as the tunnels coming in to NY. Pretty much going into NY you pay the toll but then once you are in, use one of the bridges I mentioend above to cross into Queens or Brooklyn, then you are clear to drive over to Round 1!

Oooh I gotta get out to 8otB again to play Qubell! I will at least be there for CotC

Well money isn't the biggest deal for me but I hope the paid ones only charge one way, at the least I've got a bunch to look up; thanks guys!

I'm probably going to be there earlyish (arriving before noon) because of potential traffic buildup, maybe I'll bring one of my plushies for good luck on the ufo catchers lmfao. They better not have anything touhou related or I'll probably go bankrupt.

Probably will stay a while since I've got plenty of time to do so if you want, look for an out of place plushie and say hi.

---

The paid ones mentioned are just one way pay but just be sure to use one of the free bridges to go from Manhattan to Brooklyn/Queens
Oh and hope you get good luck on those UFO catchers! And now because I am getting into touhou I will be the same way lol

Also added a list of the games I know of over on the arcade database for Round 1 Broadway Mall
