Airtimes Capacity Duration
Great coaster !! Very fast-paced, carts load and depart very quickly. Lift hill takes maybe 10 seconds, at most. First drop is great, few seconds of air time. Restraints are comfortable. My first single rail coaster and by far one of my favourite rides in the park. Was able to ride 4-5 times in a row without leaving the cart due to no line / nobody waiting in queue.

First Drop Fun Hangtime
This ride is criminally underrated. the airtime is way stronger than people say it is and that drop is incredible. The Hangtime is amazing and the ride is actually decently intense. This may be the weakest RMC I've done but its still incredible and a top 15 coaster for me.

First Drop Capacity Hangtime Rattle Airtimes Dead spots
I know I rode this when it was under 40 degrees the whole day but I just really didn't think this coaster was anything special. It mostly felt like filler elements and the airtime was pretty weak throughout, the drop as well as the dive loop and stall were pretty fun but that was mostly about it. The camelback and turnaround gave literally nothing as did the zero g roll and finale. I definitely need a reride but for now this is BY FAR my weakest RMC and isn't top 5 in the park.

Inversions Pace Fun
This was my first RMC Raptor, so I had no idea what to expect. The single rail design isn’t my favorite and there is a slight rattle, but this thing packs a punch! There are so many fun elements in this ride that it really is a great coaster.

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Theming
This is a fantastic coaster. That first drop and camelback are insane and this ride also has some other great ejector moments. Also I had no issues with the pacing of the ride. Definitely a fantastic new RMC. I do disagree with the theming however

Inversions Harness
I really wanted to like like this more than I did. I'm 5'10", so not exactly 'above average' height. The trains are just a bit cramped, meaning my ankles folded slightly sideways = ouch as soon as any positive G kicks in. The layout is solid with good inversions, hang and airtime but I didn't get on with the seating position. Shame. Not in a rush to try other single rails.

Airtimes Ejectors Hangtime
A criminally underrated coaster. In the morning it crawls and is the weakest rmc by far. However, The ride really speeds up during the day and in the afternoon and evening it hauls through its layout. Also, the mid course has been turned down a lot so those ending few hills really pop

Capacity Fun Harness Disappointing! Dead spots
This ride is just ok, the forces are okay and it’s a decently long ride. The harness cuts into your shoulders a bit though, it didn’t meet my expectations. disappointing

First Drop Pace Intensity Harness
This coaster is incredible! It’s really intense, there is ejector airtime in the first half and insane hangtime. The inversions are also snappy and the drop in the back row is absolutely wicked! Easily my favorite part of the ride. The second half of the ride is pretty weak though because those final hills don't deliver much airtime. But that's just because of the harness restraints which don't allow much room for airtime. Other than that, Jersey Devil Coaster slaps! It is overall a nearly perfect fit for Six Flags Great Adventure and truly packs a punch!

Location Hangtime Rattle
Great location and layout but has a rattle towards the back rows.

Airtimes Hangtime
Great addition to Great Adventure for sure! This ride is definitely underrated, however still has some minor flaws. Back row is quite crazy and gave the ejector I was looking for while El Toro was closed. The finale is a little underwhelming, but at night in the back with the trims barely hitting you can get some solid airtime. Zero-g stall is wicked on this ride. Overall I enjoyed this ride and Rank it below El Toro and above Nitro.

First Drop Capacity Hangtime Harness Disappointing!
If Six Flags and RMC’s intent was to create a less extreme, crowd-pleasing Raptor over the white-knuckle, intense experience of the prototypes, then they certainly succeeded. I prefer Wonder Woman for sure, but those who found the prototypes too extreme will love Jersey Devil. Although the coaster was down multiple times throughout the day, when running with all 4 trains, Jersey Devil’s operations were a sight to behold - the next train would climb the lift hill as soon as the one ahead cleared the MCBR, and the line was constantly moving. Unfortunately, the ride ops didn’t let anyone pick (or even ask for) a seat, and were stapling everyone. I didn’t find Jersey Devil exactly painful, but I wasn’t able to feel much from the stapling. My favorite moment on Jersey Devil was the stall - it was my first, and a super fun element at that - or the first big airtime hill. The first drop and drop off the turnaround also had solid ejector, but again, I couldn’t really feel it. I didn’t feel much of anything after the MCBR, with those banked hills providing weak floater, and a short pop of ejector on the last bunny hill. All in all, Jersey Devil is my 3rd favorite coaster in the park, behind Nitro and El Toro.

First Drop Pace Ejectors Harness
What an excellent addition to Great Adventure. The first drop gives awesome ejector and from that point on it is just speed and airtime galore. The restraints and trains can be a bit uncomfortable at times but it isn't too problematic. Overall a super fun ride and definitely a top 3 ride in the park.

Airtimes First Drop Hangtime Dead spots
Great coaster. Underrated and in my opinion better than El Toro because of it’s reridability. Great addition to Great Adventure and definitely not a disappointment to RMC.

First Drop Fun Ejectors
Amazing ride! The trims seemed to be turned off on my 2 rides in the middle of the day. I luckily got the back on both and absolutely was floored by the ride, being my first chance to get on a RMC. The only downside I had was on the second ride my thigh got rocked by the harness on the first drop ejector. But that doesn’t matter. The 12 seated trains made the ejector on the back amazing ! Also wanna give a shout-out to the amazing ride ops who were pumping out the 4 trains consistently on a crowded Labor Day Weekend. I waited no longer than 20 min per ride !

First Drop Fun Dead spots
Great ride. I don't mind the restraints, I thought they were better than some other coasters I've ridden. The ride's first half is PACKED with elements, but the second half is meh. That speed hill was the highlight of the second half.

Airtimes First Drop Hangtime Discomfort Dead spots
Really solid ride (my number 5 overall)! The leg position is awkward, but the ride made up for it. They were running 4 trains, and it had fast dispatches, despite the single-file trains. The drop, camelback hill, zero-g stall, and turnaround were the best parts of the ride. The midcourse and back half of the ride were slightly disappointing, and the ride was not as smooth as the i-box RMCs I've been on, but it was still an excellent coaster.

Airtimes Layout Discomfort
This ride had a great layout and some good airtime but I struggle to like it anymore because of the restraints. Same with Wonder Woman, I just can’t stand the raptor restraints. Uncomfortable shoulder straps, a bar that has hard grooves and bumps that dig into your thighs, and very awkward sitting in the seats because of how you have to position your legs. It’s a good ride but very uncomfortable.
