[woodencoasterfan]

@reesyluvsu2 You should go on it. It's one of only two that I know of that are left in the US. The other one is at Six Flags over Texas. It's in Arlington, about half way between Dallas and Ft Worth.

[reesyluvsu2]

@woodencoasterfan SERIOUSLY??!!!?? wow i must be lucky to have a six flags with that ride...ill be sure to get on it tomorrow!!! i am not trying to have a repeat of G.A.S.M (i really wanted to get on G.A.S.M and i was to late...when i went back to the park it was torn down...) this has nothing to do with this ride but i bizarro a good ride??? i want to get on that 2... THX FOR THE TIPS!!!! :) I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!! :)

[woodencoasterfan]

@reesyluvsu2 Bizzaro is a great ride during the day and even better at night. Plus there's onboard audio track as well. I've got both day and night off ride videos of GASM and Bizzarro as well as many other coasters and rides at SFGrAdv on my channel.

[reesyluvsu2]

@woodencoasterfan thats awesome! ill be sure 2 check out ur channel very soon! do you understand how long it has taken me to find a channel with Six Flags Great Adventure videos for all of the coasters or at least most of them??? well let me tell you, its really hard...

[klb1336]

@reesyluvsu2 Ya, get on it fast, because they removed the one in Georgia 2-3 years ago for the goliath.

Is this the one is six flags, NJ? it looks like it, cause aasm is in the background.

But this is seriously a fun ride. It's not scary or anything, though.

[woodencoasterfan]

@Devon33480 It shure is. It's at Sux Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. I've been told this is one of only two that are left in the US and five total in the world. The othe one in the US is at their first park, Six Flags over Texas in the Dallas-Ft Worth area

[woodencoasterfan]

@Devon33480 Sorry, I meant to say SIX Flags Great Adventure, instead of SUX Flags Great Adventure ;)

@woodencoasterfan I've heard that Philly's skyline can be seen from Nitro, and Kingda Ka, along with NYC, do you think it's possible to see the tallest buildings in Manhattan from the top of this?

[woodencoasterfan]

@JerseyShore117 I'm not reall shure about that. But if you can, the buildings would be very small. I think you'd have to know where to look in order to see them.

[JerseyShore117]

@woodencoasterfan Yeah I know where to look, I can easily see them from Kingda Ka. Just curious

[IntaminFanboy]

Wow, even I didn't know how fast those parachute towers ascended and descended! I'd love to try one of these awesome Intamin classics, especially this one.

[woodencoasterfan]

@IntaminFanboy There aren't many of these parachute towers left. I've only seen and ridden three, this one, the one at Six Flags over Texas, and the one that was at Boardwalk & Baseball near Orlando, FL which closed in 1996.

[IntaminFanboy]

@woodencoasterfan Yeah, it's pretty sad. This, the one at SFoT, and one in Japan are the only ones left, I think.

[woodencoasterfan]

@IntaminFanboy I didn't know there are that few left. There also aren't many of th first generation frefall towers from Imtamin left as well. I think the only one left in North America was Demon Drop at CP, and they just moved it to Dorney Park in Allentown, PA.

Glad this got a much-needed paint job this season - it looks amazing!

[scipiomask]

thank goodness they're repainting it!
