ECZenith Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 NITRO TITAN Length: 5394' 5312' Height: 230' 245' Drop: 215' 255' Drop Angle: 66* 61* Speed: 80 mph 85 mph Duration: 2:20 3:30 Manufacturer: B&M Giovanola Nitro is an L-shaped out-and-back mega coaster known more for its air time, as Titan is more of a twister, it's helix was known for blacking people out. Titan also features a tunnel during the first drop where Nitro doesn't. Titan Nitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Except Titan is a waste of time and sucks. Can't speak for Nitro yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterkid20 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have not ridden Nitro yet, but I have Titan. Titan, in my opinion is just slightly better then it's older brother Goliath, and that is only because it has the extra helix. Both helix's on Titan are some of the worlds best, they are EXTREMELY forceful and long lasting. The airtime, however, is mundane. You really only get some floater air on the third hill. It isn't a bad ride at all, in fact it is a quite good one, if you can handle the forces; but the Helix's are prone to making people black or grey out. I personally love airtime so it is obvious that Titan is not my favorite coaster by any means, but it certainly still is rather good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossus Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 how can you even compare these 2 coasters.there basiclly two diffrent types of coasters the only thing they have in commen is the word "HYPER". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, I thought it was an odd comparison, can't speak for Titan but I Nitro is in my top 10, definately the best B&M speedcoaster of the three I've ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 just i say is, you don't hafta worry you won't pass out in Nitro then what d'you think of Goliath? some of you feel you're blacked out in helices that goes 'round and 'round in! that's my opinion.

BrownStreak Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I'm sorry but I have to point this out as its all too common but is extremely visable in the picture below. It is extremely apparent that the area within the red bex was once filled with trees. Why must some many trees be removed so widely around the track? It would be some much cooler to keep the trees and have the ride running through them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudvayneimn Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I haven't been on Nitro but from what everyone says, it is a coaster you could marathon. I rode Titan its first year and I attempted to marathon it. After about the 5th ride it started wearing me out. I rode it 18 times and about the 12th I started blacking out. I didn't realize it until my 18th time. If you like g-forces, titan is for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2-dude Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 ^^They probably needed to clear so many trees to get the cranes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownStreak Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 But look at Expedition G Force- its surrounded by trees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey G. Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Nitro is my least favorite of the B&M hypers, but that said it's still leaps and bounds above either of the Gio hypers. Of the 12 US hyper coasters I've ridden, Nitro is middle of the pack, and Titan is right near the bottom with his brother on the west coast. Nitro offers floater air throughout, while the Gio brothers offer a lil air on the first drop, some arguable air on the 3rd hill, and "lights out" positive Gs in the helix. Just not my cup o' tea.

What Now Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I've been on Goliath which is similar to Titan. Nitro is miles ahead of Goliath, IMO. While Goliath is fun, Nitro rocks. I really like the floaty air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
