TR: Six Flags Great Adventure 6/27

[HCOSurfer90]

Ok here it goes:

 

My mom, my friends mom, 4 friends and I arrived at the park around 9:45, just in time for the entrance show. They really need to shorten this or make a section for those who would like to see it because a lot of people were getting impatient (I could tell by the look on their faces). Then they dropped to rope and ZOOM, my friends and I sprinted to what we thought would be our first ride, El Toro. When we got there it was closed . So we then ran to Kingda Ka.

 

We got on line and saw that we would be the 3rd ride in the second train. Me and my friend, Colleen, got in line for the incredibly short line for the second row. After a short breakdown with the switch track, the first 2 rides were off, when it started to pour. We waited a good 30 minutes and 2 test cycles (including a rollback) until they re-opened it. We get on and approached the launch track, where we see my mom and my other friend, Sam (they chickened out). The airhorn wasnt working so we didnt know when we were to launch, until we lurched back and ZOOM, we were off. At the top I see the little cars rolling by and think to myself, "this drop is impossible". What an amazing dive and after that an awesome speed hill.

9/10 - 2nd seat made my ride.

 

Next up was Superman, since we knew it was going to be a long line. However it wasnt bad, only an hour (which was the longest we waited that day I might add). Me got my mom and Sam on the ride this time. We boarded 2nd row again (Me, Sam, Colleen's mom, and my mom) and the seat went up. My mom isnt a big fan of heights so she started screaming at that point . The only great part of this ride is the pretzel loop (which was the only part my mom didnt like) and my friends and my mom LOVED it, until there was a technical difficulty and we were left stranded in flying position for 10 minutes.

7/10 - Pretzel Loop is the best

 

My friend Sam wanted to go on GASM but my friends didnt because of the roughness (they've been on it before) so I joined her on it. Walk-on for the front seat so we got that. It was still rough, OUCH.

5/10 - Front seat didnt even help

 

At that point we saw that El Toro has opened so we rushed over there. My friends didnt want to ride it they said it looked "boring" and "uninteresting". I was like wow... So me and my mom waited the hour long wait and got on the 2nd to last car, first row. We get to the lift and my mom's already screaming. We went up, FAST. I looked at the drop and thought "jeez that's REALLY steep. We went down and WHOA, I'm lifted out of my seat for the entire drop, and it didnt let up then, it kept going. The cross-over was INSANE though, it was the most extreme moment of airtime in my life. And the twister finale was awesome as well.

10/10 - The only time I was a little scared of a coaster

 

Next we get on B: TR, now the 2nd most intense ride in the park (first being El Toro of course). We waited only 15 minutes for this ride which is pretty good. The girls infront of us though that they could fit 5 people in one row so they got on and were like WAIT A SEC. You would've that they would've seen the 4 row train. We got on and it is still intense after a good 13 years.

8/10 - For its intensity

 

We lined up for Nitro afterward. Only a 30 minute wait. Unfortunatly, the trims were on heavy for this ride so I didnt get the floater airtime I had wanted to get. I had tunnel vision on the helix showing that it was pretty intense still with trims on. The bunny hops also has a decent amount of floater airtime.

9/10 - Would've been 10 but the trims ruined it a little

 

We headed over to Medusa and that also had a very short line (about 15 minutes). This ride REALLY needs a repaint BADLY. We got on and went up the lift. The ride kicked a**. It was awesome, the loop, the zero g roll, EVERYTHING. Everyone thought that was the ride of the day until...

 

We went on El Toro again, but now 2/4 friends didnt want to go on, they wanted to ride the Mine Train instead (wow). We got on what was supposed to be an hour long wait and turned into only a 25 minute wait . Me and Colleen got on the backseat and prepared for an awesome ride. It was SO much better than my first ride! The airtime was still amazing sustained ejector air and it never let up. It is now my moms, Colleen's mom, Colleen, and my #1 ride ever. We loved it.

15/10 - It can go over the limit due to amazing airtime and 1st drop.

 

Overall we had a very good day. Crowds didnt get bad at all, and we got on most of the rides we had wanted to go on (stupid Chiller for being closed). Cant wait to go again this Fall!
