I went on it last year when it first opened. I waited for 4 1/2 hours because it kept on breaking for an 18 second ride and it was completely worth it!

Six Flags New Jersey is opening a coaster exactly like it this summer but its taller and faster. Here is the link.

Thats friggen awesome. The one at Six Flags is gonna be great. I cant wait to go. I love coasters

 

Oh yeah, after 4 hours in line we finally saw a sign near where you board the ride that said that sometimes the coaster won't make it over the top of the hill. In this event, the coaster will be slowly lowered backwards to it's starting position and restarted.

Imagine doing that.

 

ok, now that is badass.

 

Ohh yea.. I so need a job evaluating and rating coasters for a magazine or something! They can't build one to scary for me! err yet anyway..

 

Barf, that looks like just the thing to make me puke all over...well at the speed that's going...everything. No thank you very much.

lol that looks like fun lol im always a thrill seeker last time i went to astroworld was like when i was 13 or 14

 

I thought I'd goten my roller-coaster legs back, but clearly, I haven't...

The scariest coaster I ever rode was tame compared to this thing, and the one they show coming for Six Flags.

I've ridden:

Shock Wave: Six Flags over Texas; Big first drop, double loop. Ride time: About 60-75 seconds.

Flash Back: Six Flags over Texas, Loop & cork screw, then it goes high up a ramp, and does the whole thing again... Backwards. Ride time, 45 seconds.

Joker's Revenge: Six Flags Fiesta Texas, the entire ride is backwards, one loop, one corkscrew. Ride time, 30 seconds.

The Comet: Lotte World, Seoul, Korea- indoors, pitch back, lazer light show, and your seats detach and spin as the coaster runs thorough a dizzing array of drops, hairpin turns, etc.. Ride time, about 90 seconds.

The big Blue indoor coaster: Lotte World, Seoul, Korea. Huge indoor coaster, fully lit, huge drop from top of bldg, with a loop. Fast; ride time, approx 60 seconds.

The Hulk: Universal Studio's Theme Park, Orlando, FL; approx. 45 seconds.

Space Mountain: Totally dark- Disney World, about 60-75 seconds.

Space Center: Fantasia Land, Germany: 3 minutes... No lie; 3 minutes. (Huge indoor coaster, totally dark, with anywhere from 3 - 5 trains running it at the same time.
-----------------------

I don't do the old-fashioned (sitting on the track like a train) type coasters, such as: (Wooden)

The Rattler:
The Texas Giant:
------------------------

I only ride the one's that clasps the track. You can hit me with Loops, cork-screws, and sensible drops (200 feet or less- so far), but when you start clinkty-clinking me up 400+ feet... I may have a problem.
------------------------
I've ridden several other coasters that I can't remember the names of; but nothing that would compare to the two coasters mantioned in this thread. (420 feet & 456 feet tall....) 17-18 seconds of pure terror!

I've never ridden the ones that your feet dangle out of. And, in my fattened condition, I probably won't ride one of those; don't wanna snap off the seat in the middle of an outter loop!

Iieeeeeeeeeeee......

 

so urine won't be the only thing mysteriously appearing in your underwear!

 

I've rode all the ones at Six Flags over Texas. The titan was awesome even at 80mph... The ones posted with speeds around 120mph would be a blast to ride. I would like to try the new ones on the Stratasphere (sp?) in Vegas. Being 900' in the air give a new meaning to "thrill Ride"

 

PhillipSVT,

When was the last time you were at 6 Flags? I heard that Mr. Freeze ride will give you whiplash, and the Titan was real rough.

True?

 

It was 4 years ago I think.


When I rode "Mr. Freeze" It didn't effect me any. One of my friends complained about it being harsh on the neck, but I thought it was really fun.


As far as the "Titan" it was pretty smooth. The rough part about it was the amount of force it placed on your body. At one point, it kinda spins in a 450* circle, and banks in pretty good. Its almost hard to move your arms when doing that. Other than that, it was a quick ride, and not near as harsh as the Texas Giant. The ride to the top is fun, you have a great view of the surrounding area, then you drop into a tunnel into the ground.







and you can see where it spins the circles at a pretty fast speed.

 

Texas Giant is the roughest I have ever been on.

We ar e planning on going to 6 Flags this summer. I got some catching up to do.

 

late in the day, when everyone is leaving, the Batman ride (forget the name...) is fun to ride. You can basically stay on the ride and continually go and go and go. Its not a fast ride, but kinda tight and twisty, so its really fun to ride.
