coasterbill Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Wow... maybe they finally fixed it. We'll have to take a ride next time and see for ourselves. Thanks for the heads up.
boldikus Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Did they remove the trims from after the 2nd and 3rd hill? I rode it twice Sunday and didn't even notice.
njcoasterguy34 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Did they remove the trims from after the 2nd and 3rd hill? I rode it twice Sunday and didn't even notice. I wasn't even aware there were trims on Nitro, except after the helix.
larrygator Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 The black car is from Monster Spin. There's rumors that GADV is turning the currently empty red tent into a history museum of some sorts. Thanks for mentioning this. I stopped by the red tent today and saw a lot of memorabilia inside. Old pennants, ride sign, ride vehicles. I look forward to a trip down memory lane if this is to be a temporary museum. Got about 8 rides on El Toro without having to walk around due to low ridership this morning starting at 10:45. Then headed over to a courtesy ride on Nitro (10 minute wait), avoiding the C train. Passing through the games area they had a special on the wheel of chance game for $0.25 and won a Spongebob plush for my niece spending only $3.
boldikus Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I dunno. Ive never felt them and honestly dont even know if Ive ever noticed them in person but on most POV vids it looks like there are small trims after the 2nd (turned) and 3rd (before the hammerhead) hills.
agerikson Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Just a heads up, I rode Nitro's C train 3 times in the back yesterday and noticed nothing wrong with it. It was fast, smooth, and had great airtime with no trims. Yep, didn't notice anything too unusual in the back of Nitro's C train on Saturday. Maybe slightly more of a rattle but nothing that impacted the (tremendous) ride experience. My girlfriend actually ignored my warning and dragged me on the C train. Afterwards, she concluded that coaster enthusiasts are wussies. [emoji38]
jetsplumber Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Story going around on Facebook that the state has not cleared the ride, and it will remain closed! Only repeating what I am seeing, no idea if true or not. What that means is, the state Didnt get the bribe corruption $$$$$$
KBrylczyk Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 ^ No, it means it wasn't cleared for some reason or another. Probably a system error thrown at the wrong time (like when you go get your car inspected and the check engine light pops on(thanks, Nissan)). They'll re-check later today or tomorrow and every other chance until it clears.
jetsplumber Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I think this mostly is due to NJ playing hardball about potential simultaneous operations with Kingda Ka. I think they may be purposefully dragging things out because of the park's pushback. Can't say for certain, but the ride's seemingly been ready for a couple weeks now - I don't see how the park wouldn't have already done everything they could to get the state's operational permit ASAP. EDIT: Then again, SFDK's V2 debacle comes to mind.... and SFNE's phamton Dark Knight coaster... ...Finger wags all around. to get a little off topic, but it does have to deal with the state of NJ. I was at action park today, and they are having delays with the state to get "zero g" open. they have tested it, its ready to go. they had some riders on it per employees. and today, they had some as they were filming for commercial. my fat ass got filmed on the cliff jump. see if they use it for a commercial.
KBrylczyk Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 ^ You made me look up what slide Zero-G is, and, well, I think The Daily News needs to get their research in order - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/n-s-action-park-debut-water-slide-1-000-foot-drop-article-1.1839093 Divide by 10, maybe?

I was talking to the guy who was in charge of the film shoot from action park today and mentioned that article. hes said they gave them all the info, and that's the article they wrote. the news media is such a joke today.
coasterbill Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Here's a picture of the loading area that's been going around Facebook.
El Toro_Ryan Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Here's a news report Fox did on the delay for Zumanjaro. I like how they completely blamed it on NJ for being lame. haha http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/3655425031001/another-delay-for-six-flags-zumanjaro-drop-of-doom/#sp=show-clips
rcjp Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I like how they completely blamed it on NJ for being lame. haha Yeah, that's funny
jetsplumber Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 great report by FoxNews. just goes to show how screwed up NJ govt is
KBrylczyk Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 great report by FoxNews. Bet you never thought you'd see that sentence in your life. Or ever again.
DevilsFlight Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 ^ Exactly. I'm really upset. I'll be in Virginia when it opens. I'm coming back the 12th. I was really looking forward to riding it. Why doesn't the state just approve it already? Everything is ready so it's all on the state now.

Why doesn't the state just approve it already? Everything is ready so it's all on the state now. its simple. some corrupt politician is waiting for his bribe $$$$$$$$$$ to get the permit approved and SF didn't want to pay. NJ is such a corrupt state

NJ is such a corrupt state You seem to be quite knowledgeable, even if your grammar is horrible. Can you find out the politician's name for us?
El Toro_Ryan Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 User by the name of Kaiser at gadv.com just posted this about today. "Media day was postponed, along with the opening. The inspector was supposed to come at midnight, but never showed. Because of that, they couldn't let anyone on the ride. The Lt. Governor then ordered the inspector to come by noon (the time the media event was supposed to start), and again he didn't show then. The event was canceled a little after 10am, though. We'll see what happens in terms of rescheduling." I also heard the inspector was originally supposed to come on Sunday too. I think it's time us coaster enthusiasts form an angry mob and find this inspector.
DevilsFlight Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Something is up. 3 times he is supposed to come but didn't show up. CONSPIRACY??
3Mutts Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Its really gonna suck for this ride to be closed on the 4th just because of some dumbass politician uneducated people voted for. Oh well, as long as it opens by September.
KBrylczyk Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Seems to be a lot of uneducated blaming going on in this thread. Calm down. Crap happens. You'll get to ride it eventually.
