Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGAdv) Discussion Thread

[Myself]

I know CP has Power Tower, but I wonder if they would ever consider relocating PT somewhere else (or just keeping it) and putting one of these on the front of Dragster? Now that would be a pretty awesome view!

 

I'd be all for it if it was a Falcon's Fury/Ikaros-style face-down drop.

OK so me and my friend are having a debate on whether back or front seat is better on El Toro. I think the back (especially 2nd to last) is the best he thinks front is. Now he thinks I'm to only one who likes it better back there but I know for fact about 95% of people on this forum would take it in the back right?

[njcoasterguy34]

I've ridden both front and back and I prefer the front. The back was a bit too wild for me.

There is no debate. Second-to-last row is where the magic happens.

There are surprisingly a very large percentage of gay men into this hobby, but I'm not sure the percentage of bottoms. I think 95% of TPR forum members willing to take it in the back is probably a little too high an estimate.

 

Sorry guys I had to.

Clearly you've never been to a TPR event.

As with most things posted here, I think you should be a little bit of both.

God, I'm immature.

[thrilladdict]

LOL @ this thread... you guys are hilarious.

 

I hadn't ever really thought about how many of my coaster enthusiast friends are also gay... but now that I have thought about it... it's all of them. :o

[Canobie Coaster]

We're just talking about a great woody here.

[boldikus]

The best woodie.

 

Taking the best woodie in the rear? Jesus what have we done here.

Oh my God I didn't realize my mistake in the original post until just now RIP

So whoever writes the emails for great adventure clearly is on this website, from today lol....

 

"Why You Need to Ride El Toro in the Front Row

Where you sit on a coaster can affect your ride experience. Our guests told us El Toro is more extreme when you sit in the front row. As you approach the top of the giant lift hill, the front car will slowly creep over the hill for a moment of heart-pumping anticipation before plummeting down.

 

The weight of the rear cars will push the front riders down, making your drops feel heavier and faster than the 70 miles per hour you're actually going. While dropping down 176 feet and racing around the track, the front row will also get to see the action coming up ahead. You'll have a clear view to better prepare for the steep drops and banked curves in front of you. Presented by your local Kia dealers."

[BigBad]

I had to laugh when I read that email after reading this thread.

 

It's a bit surprising that they're promoting the front row. Usually that's the most coveted row. (There are extended queues for the front row, not the second-to-last.) I'd have expected the front to be the popular row and the park telling the world about the secret of the second-to-last row.

That's a copy/paste thing from Six Flags. SFGAm had that about Raging Bull in their newsletter. Just changed the stats.

[Brassinthegrass]

The best is how when you get to the station they always announce "back rows are wide open, fill in the station we have open seats in the back of the train"

[ytterbiumanalyst]

That's the real reason this email went out.

 

" 'Cause they pay me every time I do."

[KBrylczyk]

That's because the station layout is awful. It was awful when it was Viper, it's even worse now that it sees a crowd.

A cool picture of Batman from the other day:

 

Still cant get over how well this was running, just simply on another level.. Easily as intense as the Montu/Afterburn level intensity rides!

[Jcoaster]

Batman has been running incredible for about 4 years now. I don't know what they did to it to have it running like this but there are no complaints here.

[RollerManic]

Every Batman I have ridden in the last several years has just gotten progressively better and better over those years. Those rides are outstanding and resist aging so well.
