Red face Six Flags Trip

A few weeks ago I took a trip to six flags great adventure. I woke up early at 8 and drove there. I arrived at 10 and walked in. King da Ka wasn't open so I went straight to Superman. There was a 10 minute wait and I went on. It was a great ride a 10 of 10. I really liked the pretzel loop. Next I went to Rolling Thunder. 10 minute wait. I got front row and it was awesome a 9 of 10. Next I went on Runaway Train. I walked right on with no wait. I sat in the back and it was ok. I rode it again in the front row and it was awesome a 9 of 10. It was 11:00. I decided to go on Medusa. It was an hour wait but well worth it. I loved the loops. My favorite part was the giant loo. It was 10 of 10. It was noon so i got a drink and walked over to movietown, my favorite part. At 12:30 I went on Freefall. Half hour wait good ride. 8 Of 10. At 1:00 I went on Robin. Great ride and short wait. 5 Minute wait. 10 of 10. I then went on Batman the Chiller one of my all time favorites. 15 Minute wait. 20 of 10. I then ate lunch at the place by the merry go round. At 2:30 I went on regular Batman. Great Ride. 20 of 10. At 3:00 it was time for my all time favorite. NITRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was an Hour wait for the front. I got on and it was amazing as usual. 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000 of 10. I went on three more times in the middle twice and the back. It was 5:30 so I had one last ride. I chose to go on Superman again. It was great in the back. I had another 15 minutes in the park so I checked out the Golden Kingdom which is really awesome. I cant wait anymore for Kingda Ka. When I left I thought of my wonderful day. I'm going on Kingda Ka the first day it opens. Thanks for reading.

PARAGRAPHS PLEASE! It was a great report but just ran together. I really want to ride superman though, it looks really intense, well compared to all the other B&M and Vekomas.

I agree, it was a nice report but it is just easier to read on the eyes if it is split up a bit.

As stated before, it isnt all that intense, except for the pretzel loop.

Yeah . . rolley coasters are fun. Nitro receiving a rating of 10^55 out of 10, that was prime. There are a lot of great places to visit in the NY / NJ / PA region, and through many a trip you'll discover more and more of the fantastic rides this world has to offer. Welcome to TN and welcome to coaster enthusiasm. Pull your ratcheting lap bar down 2 clicks, loosen the seatbelt, and hold on for the ride of your life. Word up to ya, check out the wood coaster Hades at Mt. Olympus Theme Park in Wiconsin Dells this summer, I think you'll like it. Or . . . . if you think yourself bold . . and daring, try Raven at Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN, you heard me right SANTA CLAUS . . I swear I am not on the plant. Raven may very well be your first (infinity) out of 10 ride.

If im mistaken, did you say you went of the batman side of chiller? If you did, then thats wrong because that side hasn't opened yet. What do you mean by a few weeks ago also. When you posted that, the park only opened a week or so before hand. (I just wanna know )

I believe that unless superman has a 5 minute line, I wont ride it.

Yeah, Nitro is an amazing ride. Never lets up. Someone else mentioned this too on another thread, but I just love how you get ripped off the MCBR.

I also agree that S:UF is pretty tame, though the pretzel loop is fun. Personally, I too loved Vekoma's flyer more (though only been on Stealth). Maybe it's because it was my first flying coaster so the experience was unique. But overall, that ride felt more intense and I loved being at the top of the vertical loop looking down.

Anyway, nice report. Glad you had a great time!

I agree, the only intense part is the pretzel loop. After that the ride is pretty much over.

Did you say that you went on Batman: The Chiller? It isn't open yet. Other than that, nice TR and welcome to TN.
