Nitro is an awesome hyper coaster. Its first drop is intense and has lots of airtime. I have ridden near both the front and back rows, I recommend being near the front on this ride because it does rattle a little near the back, but I guess that's just its age.

Great airtime great visuals great all around ride. I did not notice a significant difference depending on where I sat (front vs back) as far as forces are concerned. Station was loading very quickly with minimal wait. Running relatively smoothly and great air time and restraints. Laterals were a nice touch but were really not for me however they did not take away from the experience significantly. Restraints are great I suggest going for the extra click. The restraints felt much looser on the airtime hills. Gives great views of the park with an out and back layout.

I loved this ride! Such a good first drop, and the airtime is so much fun!! Kind of wish the ride was a different color.. But that doesn't effect the awesome layout!! I rode this 4 times and can confidently say that it is one of my favorite B&M Hypers.

Repaint Nitro! It's all this baby needs. Nitro was my first ever favorite coaster, and it has barely waned. It's currently still my favorite B&M hyper. The first two drops, the helices, and the last several bunny hills are all a total blast. It also gives a delightful night ride. I hope they maintain this thing forever.

This is an awesome hyper. The train is 9 rows long so the back experiences above average airtime for a B&M hyper, however, I recommend the front. The sense of speed on this is easily the best in the park and the you only get that in the front. Anyways, the actual ride has some amazing airtime. The two camelbacks in the far end of the ride give some incredible sustained floater. This ride also has a bunch of bunny hills at the end which each give awesome airtime. But what really sets this apart from most other hypers for me is its helix, which is one of the most intense elements on a B&M hyper. Strong positives for a good few seconds. The airtime and speed definitely steal the show for me but that element is undeniably awesome and way better than the average B&M turnaround. Great ride and has underrated night rides.

I've found that Nitro is a perfect hyper coaster. It's one of only two B&M hypers in the US to not only feature a forceful helix, but also maintain its strength in airtime throughout the entire ride. The first drop is enormous and fun. The first turnaround gives airtime in the front. The two camelbacks give great floater. The hammerhead is surprisingly forceful. The turning airtime hill gives some surprising ejector air. The helix is suppressingly forceful and long. There is ejector airtime into and dropping off of the midcourse. And the three hills on the return trip give great airtime. It's perfectly paced, is thrilling beginning to end, is forceful in both positive and negative forces with some surprise ejector, has an awesome color scheme, and has a great location out of the way from the rest of the park in the forest. A phenomenal coaster that makes it worth to visit SFGAdv by itself.

First, the station music is great. Doesn’t affect the actual ride and the ride op was talking half of the time but still enough to acknowledge it. The lap bar is super comfy, and unlike the kiddie coaster nearby there are no seatbelts. I don’t mind seatbelts but it’s kind of funny that they would put them on the kiddie coaster and not the 80 mph coaster. Pointing this out that I got a night ride, so clearly there’s a beautiful setting, I could only put 3 things in the pros. The actual ride has some decent intensity, especially on the helix, but there is one big problem. Now here’s where I update it for 2025. In 2023, I wasn’t even leaving my seat at any point. In both 2024 and 2025, I was actually getting pretty solid floater on every hill. The final hills were pretty weak in 2025, although last year they were actually good. The turnaround still doesn’t really do anything, but generally the whole ride is just fun.

Nitro is a top tier BM hyper coaster that is a must ride at SFGrA. The lap bars are super comfy and unrestrictive, leading to glorious floater airtime moments on its many camelbacks. The ops do really well with loading and unloading and the line moves quite fast. The views of the park from the lift hill are glorious as you can see Ka, the Skyscreamer, and some of the safari from up there. The helixes provide strong forces at the end and the little hills on the final third are wonderful. I recommend a wing seat to get the full experience.’

This is my second favorite roller coaster of all time, and it has some super exciting drops. The first drop takes a while to get the coaster to the top, making it more and more scary as you reach a super high height of 230 feet! My first time riding it, it was not as I expected because I'm used to roller coasters with launches, and this one had none, so it would take a long time to reach the top. As it was climbing to the top, you started to regret getting on the ride in the first place because you had so much time to think since it's a high and slow climb. Once you're all the way up, you start dropping, and the first drop is the best one, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Very solid B&M hyper. Great floater airtime along with really, REALLY comfortable restraints. (seriously, these lap bars are masterpieces) Also, one thing I would like to mention is the oddly intense double helix. It catches me off guard every time!

What a great B&M hyper! It's hard to believe B&M designed Nitro in 2001. This is now my favorite of the five I have experienced, and it is my favorite ride in the park. The floater air hits on every hill. The left twisting drop of the second hill is whippy. The helix is intense, and the last four hills really pop! The layout also takes riders on a journey out of the park, through the woods, and back again. The ride's balance of intensity and fun is nearly perfect on Nitro. Awesome work, B&M; Nitro is is a top-tier ride for me!

Nitro est assez imposant, mais se cache plutôt comparé aux autres crédits du parc. Il faut grimper et rider la bête pour comprendre son layout. Après une belle ascension la first drop est là pour rappeler la puissance et le plaisir que de rider un hyper B&M. La suite est assez fun, mais je trouve pas assez de hangtime. Les quelques bosses finales sont à ce sujet, trop peu ressenties. Le coaster reste une belle machine mais lui manque quelques moments plus planants pour pouvoir se hisser plus haut ! Un conseil, si vous pouvez faites le de nuit, sensations décuplées et encore plus fun !

By far the best B&M Hyper I've ever ridden, the airtime is super strong, and I love that upwards helix before the MCBR. It really is forceful. The ending bunny hills are also great, they pack in small short bursts of airtime.

In my opinion the best ride at the park and if you like Apollo's Chariot in BGW you'll love this because it's practically that coaster but way better. A nice long ride time and some intense turns that makes it fantastic.

For 2001 this is a really nice rollercoaster. By nowadays standards it's pretty forceless but probably ideal to get new people into the hobby. The airtimes in the front were nice and plentyful although they were "only" floater. It reminds me a lot of Goliath at Walibi Holland over in Europe but with floater airtime. Ironically, Goliath was also built for the Six Flags group. All in all, this is an outdated yet very enjoyable rollercoaster that is worth a couple of rides at Six Flags Great Adventure.

I had two very different experiences on Nitro. The first time I rode it was at night and I thought it was incredible with great speed, smoothness and just a ton of fun. The second time I got of the ride and just thought it was meh and not as good as my first ride. I'll have to ride it again soon but it is still a very fun ride with great inversions and very smooth.

Nitro is a really solid B&M hyper. Each hill gives excellent floater and delivers a smooth and comfortable experience. The finale is definitely one of the stronger ones as far as B&M hypers go, too. The main thing that sets Nitro apart from its kin is that double upward helix. Though it is far from the sheer intensity of the reverse maneuver on SFOG's Goliath, it is still far more forceful and intense than most other rides of this model. 8.5/10 - why did the guy sitting next to me absolutely smack the ever-loving crap out of his friend's neck on the brake run

Un bon vieux B&M old school mais qui rempli complètement ses objectifs. La first drop est vraiment raide et nous procure un énorme floating lorsque vous êtes vers l'arrière du train, les camelbacks sont très planants et l'hélix procure de bons gros G+. La 1re partie est assez planante et la 2me est assez proche du sol avec de petits camelbacks qui s'enchaines rapidement. Le tout dans un confort extrême et sans réelles vibrations. Je suis conquis. Point noir cependant pour la file d'attente qui est digne des meilleurs parc à bœufs qui m'ait été donné de voir.

This is perhaps my favorite B&M hyper. It is a basic out and back layout, but they do throw a few surprises in for extra excitement and fun. I loved the left-hand dive turn off of the third hill that takes you out to the turn around. They throw in a couple more "twister" type maneuvers towards the end to add more excitement. It reminded a bit of Ragin' Bull in the second half. It was typical B&M Hyper--super, super smooth and comfortable. Because of this smoothness I was able to carry on a conversation with my wife during the entire ride. It is too big and comfortable to be all that intense. The level of intensity between this and El Torro is night and day. I know that this goes 80mph, but it never feels that fast. I loved and appreciated the extra "twister" maneuvers to add to the overall thrill and experience. A great coaster.

I loved Nitro. I've been on a bunch of B&M hypers over the past year and while they are tamer than some of your top-end RMC's and Intamin rides, they consistently deliver quality riding experiences and they are by no means devoid of intensity. Nitro was a nice change of pace vs. El Toro and Kingda Ka. And while it's similar to other B&M hypers that I've ridden, it was not the same - it has it's own personality and a few tricks up its sleeve that I found to be great coaster elements (i.e. left bank turn coming out of the first camelback hill, elevating spiral.) Yes the trims can put a damper on things at the end, but the airtimes I experienced prior were fantastic and the lake setting was a nice added touch. Nitro did look like it could use a paint job, but that's me splitting hairs...this is a top-tier B&M hyper in short - really accessible and enjoyable.

Why the hell is the restraint so comfy? Like I could take a nap in the seat if I wanted too. The drop made me feel like I was flying. Which I love and it’s one of my favorite drops on a coaster. But unfortunately, my ride on Nitro had no airtime. Which really sucks and made me depressed. Thankfully, El Toro cured my depression because El Toro is love El Toro is life.

Nitro thrives with pretty much one gimmick through its long, fun layout: airtime. The helix pulls some nice lateral Gs, but otherwise Nitro is about airtime. Its first drop is phenomenal and the rest of the floater airtime makes it very fun and very pleasant, even if it lacks in some element variety.
