Fuhgeddaboudit Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Nitro is good, but if you go to a lot of amusement parks, you'll see a lot of very similar rollercoasters (as in: same manufacturer, same idea) and Nitro ends up middle of that pack. What really took a lot away from Six Flags Great Adventure in general is the atmosphere of the park and the crowd. The rides are cool, but our day there felt like we were at a gang meeting on the parking lot of an old fun fair. Not good. That goes for almost all Six Flags parks I've been too. Don't know what you mean by this at all. How so? I felt almost the opposite at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Don't know what you mean by this at all. How so? I felt almost the opposite at times There was a lot of youth in shouting matches, people queue jumping and threatening people who would say something about it, a lot of things looked a little in disrepair, several rides were not functioning. And I mean, I go to a lot of amusement parks and this park just had a really bad vibe going. It's one of the few parks where everyone was padded down by security upon entrance. Do they still do that? Maybe it was just a bad day, that happens, but my experience was pretty bad. Also, overall, it's not a good-looking park. The theming is subpar - if existent - and that makes standing line and walking round not nearly as good or fun as in other parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky with my ticket as well, including a little help from Rhommy, saving $400 on my roundtrip for the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I haven't been patted down once and havent seen it, but I know what you mean by the line waiting and the bad vibes. Once you get into the park though, it isn't that bad. I think when I was a kid I believe it was much better though, so I guess somethings did change about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson NJ doesn't exactly have the nicest crowds living there or visiting, for lack of better words...I'm sure you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I just played NHL 12 with my dad. He was NYR and I was LAK. It was 2-1 in the third and then Brad Richards tied it with 6.9 seconds to go. Del Zotto scored in overtime to win it. Something special is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Decided to buy last minute tickets to our local rock festival for tomorrow. Linkin Park, Soundgarden, Mastodon, Keane, Chase & Status and more. Oh, and lots of beer of course. Good times. Today's day 1 with The Cure headlining, day 2 is when I'm going, skipping day 3 which will have Mumford & Sons and Bruce Springsteen as headliners, but I've seen The Boss in 2009 and can't go today and I just got my tickets for tomorrow half off.

RichieNextel305 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah, NITRO (circa 2001) at Great Adventure in Jersey is more badass than that ride at Hershey. I remember going on Nitro once and just as we got to the top of the 1st drop, for some reason I got a really bad charley horse haha. I don't know why but it just hit me. And as fast as that thing went, I got off the ride and my leg was shot for like an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
