A lot of people seem to dislike this ride, I loved it. But I'm not SHORT either.

I don't like how so many people think that Scream Machine always got no attention b/c of all the other "newer" coasters at Great Adventure. I call bullshit on all the haters b/c if that was the case, they would have removed Scream Machine way before 2010. It was a coaster enjoyed/loved by true coaster fans all over the US. So, recognize and respect y'all. Scream Machine broke records long before Nitro, Kingda Ka, and El Toro ever did.

@dadsoldtapes > That's funny b/c I would always ride Scream Machine as soon as I got to the park. My very first coaster was an Arrow looper, so I loved Scream Machine.

Wow have times changed... I can understand how in 1989 it was state of the art, but fast forward 20 years, the last time I went on it, it just is there to nauseate me on a ride superseded by the big boys like El Toro, Nitro, and Kingda Ka. I don't even think I went on it this past June when I went to Great Adventure.

Im glad I got to ride it in 2009. I went there this past weekend and was sad to see it closed. I, and Im sure many other coaster fans, will miss this ride very much. A faithful 21 years of service.
RIP Great American Scream Machine: 1989 - 2010

@mofodante89 Yep, 1989 was the year that set the amusement industry on fire. Quite a few parks put themselves on the map since then.

In 1989 it WAS smooth compared to just about any other coaster at the time! :)
