 Review of Nitro @ Six Flags Great Adventure
-3 Rating Posted by: mjbc_64 on 9/3/2004 10:39:00 AM
Maybe I have been spoiled by Intamin hypers and gigas, but this ride is not all that great. Yes, the first drop is unbelievable and the hammerhead and helix are both great, but the rest of the ride is a dissapointment. There is hardly any airtime!! Im sorry but I just dont see what everyone else sees in this ride.

This ride is not the best hyper. Ive been on SROS at SFNE and MF, but I still manage to like Nitro. Your comment on the airtime is somewhat correct. There isnt too much, but there is some. However, the speed, and great first drop put this into my top 10.

i agree with the airtime somewhat although for a metal i did get some. but i do believe it is much better than a seven, but for airtime its definately no phoenix or shivering timbers

This ride does have a fair ammount of airtime. However, this is not Superman Ride of Steel and SFNE.

Maybe it was because I have high expectations for this ride. I mean it looks so big and fun with lots of hills that you expect to get airtime on. Every time I go on it, the airtime I expect isnt there. The airtime on the first drop is unbelievable though.

It matters where you sit. There is serious air in the back rows.

Yeah, the air in the back is really good. Ever since I first rode Nitro in the back, I have never sat in any other seat.

I to on my 2 rides on Nitro sat towards the back. I found the air back there satisfactory. Ill have to ride this ride towards the front to see for myself the next time I go to the park.

Welcome back, mrceagle. People missed ya.

Anyways, I cant see it how people think that this has no airtime... people get bad rides i guess.Hopefully the next time you ride it youll see how good it really is.

Thanks chet. I actually like this coaster over SROS. Its far less predictable. the air is good and the disign better then most out there. also B&Ms have far less problems then Intamin.
