Well I finally made it to Six Flags Great Adventure! Our flight flew into Philly at about 8:15am, got my rental car and was on the way. They were calling for 70% chance of rain but didnt start raining until 2pm or so. Arrived at the park at about 10:45am, and darted straight for the flash pass booth, got me the flash pass gold and was ready to start my day. By the way everyone at the park was very nice and pleasant. I was very impressed with the ride ops and employees, they made my trip that much better. All the rides were running at a good cpacity too. El toro had 2 trains, superman 2 trains, KK 4 trains, Medusa 2or 3 not sure, Nitro 3, batman not sure at least 2. Let me tell ya tho it was pretty crowded, if you can afford the flash pass, get it, it is so worth the money, the longest wait I had was 14 mins for dark knight, and I ate lunch while waiting for that lol. So awesome. Now onto the rides, here are my ratings. 10 being AWESOME
Superman-9/10- Alot of people think this is boring, but I absolutly LOVED it. It was actually one of my favorites. I definatly like this better than the vekoma version so much more comfortable and smoother.
Scream machine-7/10 Ive heard this was really rough, but I dissagree, it did have a couple of rough spots but nothing unbearable,great first drop and great inversions.
Kingda CRAP I mean KA 3/10 This thing is unenjoyable!!! I was SO looking forward to this ride and I was VERY dissapointed. First off the launch was nothing, I guess cause Im used to HYpersonic-much more intense launch. Going up the hill on KK was rough and coming down was insanely rough totally unenjoyable.
Rolling thunder- 6/10 Typical racer but it wasnt racing. Pretty fun and pretty smooth.
El toro 10/10 HEHEHE best damn ride in the park- no doubt. This thing has such ejector airtime its not even funny. I rode in the back too. So freaking smooth too. Im telling you there is not 1 bad thing I can say about this ride.
Medusa- 7/10 Pretty fun floorless, but found that my ears were getting whacked thru some of the inversions.
Batman the ride-8/10 This thing packs a good little punch but still say Alpengeist blows this one away.
Nitro 9/10 Wow awesome airtime. great hills and twists. If I had to choose between this and Apollos, I think I would have to give the edge to Apollos.
Dark kinight 7/10 Pretty good, typical mouse ride and good little pops of airtime that I wasnt expecting. Good theming.
Skull mountain 7/10 This was pretty neat to me, it was really dark in there, I couldnt see a thing.
Thats I loved this and definatly will be going back!!!
