michaellynn4 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I'm going to try to swing by tomorrow for a few hours. Probably will be my last time riding Namtab. Hit me up if anyone will be there!
Coaster Hero Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 ^It's only noticeable on certain trains. C train has been particularly rough at least for me, but B train has been glass smooth.
Devins3 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I did notice a little bit of a vibration in the C train last week. Nothing compared to how bad it was last year though, still great. What Nitro really needs is a paint job, she's looking pretty worn out and should have got painted a couple years ago it seems.
Genx24 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I agree that Nitro could use a paint job, but I doubt the park will do it. Besides the turn out of the station and the lower portion of the lift, the ride is out in the woods. They probably aren't willing to paint a ride structure that can't be seen by the public.
TyRush Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Well eventually they'll have to do it so the steel doesn't rust.
Genx24 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 ^Well then they missed that boat, because Nitro is already starting to rust.
namurt28 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Here's a reason Nitro needs a new paint job: 'Nuff said. (creds to @amusement_park_outlaw on IG)

Jcoaster Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Rust? What are you guys talking about that. That is just theming.
Password121 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Rust? What are you guys talking about that. That is just theming. To be perfectly honest the only part of that entire area by Nitro that looks good is Congo Rapids. Nitro needs a repaint bad, Batman is okay but getting a little smudgy, the pavement and Nitro's area looks terrible, and Wiggles World needs to chill. The colors are too much and it's weird how Skull Mountain exits into four-year-old land.
TyRush Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Rust? What are you guys talking about that. That is just theming. Sad but true.
woolandmammoth Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I am currently at the park. Its pretty quiet for a Sunday in August. I managed to sit on the brake run of Bizzaro for about 15 - 20 minutes while the ride went down. Got a ride in on Skull Mountain as well. Believe the hype. Its a highlight of the park's line up. First drop in the back row is 10/10 airtime. I dont know if it has been reported yet, but there is a giant demolition machine-truck standing outside the stadium. I'd imagine that serious destruction will ensue as soon as weekend operation begins in September. Possibly sooner as I'd imagine that Six Flags is renting it and wouldnt have it unless they were using it. Big Demolition Machine Edited August 23, 2015 by woolandmammoth

First drop in the back row is 10/10 airtime. And it actually sustains ridiculously well for a coaster/drop of that size. I was dragged down the drop the entire way, pushing into the lap bar for a solid two seconds. The more I think about it the more I realize how insanely fun this coaster is. It honestly should not be that fun.
Coaster Hero Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 WOW, 15 to 20 mins!! Getting stuck on the ride during a breakdown... it happens lol . It's happened to me 3 times on Kingda Ka this year
boldikus Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Great Lake Grandstand coming down right now. Video over at Six Flags Great Adventure Insider Updates
michaellynn4 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I don't get some of the comments from people on the fan sites. Some a little sad, some very sad, and some who are legitimately angry the park dare remove such a "treasured" piece of its history. Honestly, it's just bleachers. BLEACHERS. People are getting up in arms over a friggin' set of BLEACHERS. BLEACHERS!!!!! Edited August 24, 2015 by michaellynn4
Brassinthegrass Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Honestly, when was the last time there was a show in these stands?
michaellynn4 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 They're open for the fireworks shows each year, but the last real show may have been the Lethal Weapon Stunt Show in the 90s.
coasterbill Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Everyone should be watching the fireworks from the path by the water and El Toro anyway. Low crowds and a great view... oh crap, forget I said that.
boldikus Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Well between that wording ("unchanged in four decades") and actual demolition finally happening I'd say its pretty close to confirmation that the coaster is going in the lakefront, not in Old Country. I can still hope with all my might that its not a free spin! (though I know it is... )
KBrylczyk Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 ^ I still say you're insane for thinking a 4D Free Fly is a bad ride. But hey, you're entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it may be.
