It was a beautiful cool windy day at Kemah Boardwalk. I rode Bullet finally, and I was very pleased with the ride! I was impressed how adaptable the trains were able to keep with direction changes and maintain fast momentum throughout the entire ride. The bayturn is superfast, don't blink LOL. The 2 big drops in the back seat were amazing! After that its almost like a magic carpet ride. Even the drop underneath the station was full of speed and airtime! It's an entirely different feeling now; pain free and re-rideable. Enjoy : )

Yesterday, it was my goal was to re-ride the Bullet after all the improvements made on it, but I did not get to. From loop 610 to just pass B-8 it was a bottleneck not to mention road construction all the way to League City. Don't forget the 2 separate Oversized Loaded Trucks fighting with the rest of us over lane choice. If you travel through League City the traffic was okay. All together it was a 2 hour trip to get to Kemah. There was like this 1.5 hour wait to ride the Bullet even with both trains operating. The ticket booth line was just as a bad. I headed back home without getting to ride my fun coaster. I have to go back on a non-spring holiday event to enjoy it.

I'm curious with the improvements made what the ride time is now? Under 60 secs or still over?
-
I am going to miss the first drop intense butter fly sensation it had when it was Bullet ver. 1.0. Great speed and nice ejector air made the drop made me yelp from deep within.

Tex: Thanks for the "play-by-play" action... looking forward to riding it once again!

True. I wish for the good old days when it first opened and the first drop took your breath away. I also rode Saturday. I chose to ride in seat #3. It slammed and shifted at the bay turnaround. Suprisingly, I wasn't beat up by it. THAT was strange.

I rode Bullet this weekend. It was slow. The antirollback clicks was confirmation. I rode anway and the first drop doesn't have the punch that it used to have. I don't like it anymore. Both trains were running though.

I was able to visit Coney Island this June'09. The Cyclone was fun! I rode the first seat and got slammed on the turnaround after the first drop. Ouch. My shoulder hurt for days. Anyways.. it was fun. Hope you enjoy it too. The seats are soft. I like that.

Bullet 3.0 Still lots of fun to ride!
Bullet 3.0

I rode twice today (Sunday). Much faster and virtually pain-free. From the first drop to the bay turn is fast and smooth. First drop still intense from mid-to-back car.

See ya there ! Guru: Will you post new live on-ride footage any time soon?
-
How's it running now?

Hummmm. One of the operators went over to inspect the seat where she was sitting. Suddenly a few more ride assistants came over and a huddle formed with a lot of whispering and head turning. One girl reached down to the seat and pulled her arm away very fast and exclaimed," I got some on my hand!" She quickly removed herself and went to wash up. I asked what happened to the female rider and no one would give me a straight answer.
I thought you were going to say the seat on that train was covered in poop. OMG

I am planning a trip to NJ Six Flags come June and I need a little information.
1. What great rides are there?
2. Is it expensive?
3. Can all the best rides be done in a day?
Thanks for helping

I had some outpatient treatment done a few weeks back for hip-arthritis. I want to ride the Bullet w/o endangering myself. Is the front seat pretty safe?
-
They said they projecting to be up and running (the rides including Bullet) by spring break 2009.
I've got company and wanted to know if the boardwalk was "accessible" for showing them around??
-
Tell us when it reopens please. I haven't rode in a while.

First drop flings me over making my innards bellow an intense shout!

GWAZI made me feel like a DAMNWAZI.

THE ROCKET (former Playland coaster San Antonio-TX, the former home of the Phoenix at Knoebels Grove. I was 12 yrs old. I couldn't describe what the first big drop was like to anyone for a long time.

Name a roller coaster you rode that had you TREMBLING as you walked out of the que station. (old, new, defunct coasters)
1978 The Texas Cyclone, SFAW (in its glory days)

I think the BB operators were the "fry guys" looking for better opportunities! Happy to hear it was up and running.
-
Will a rain-ride on the Bullet now be faster than 60 sec?

I took friends visiting from New York to have a go on the Bullet and they told me it was a way better ride than the Cyclone at Coney Island. They especially enjoyed the degree and speed of the first drop.
