Nitro • Six Flags Great Adventure

Airtimes First Drop Comfort

I was expecting El Toro to be my favourite ride at the park but this blew it away! It was silky smooth and I got airtime of every hill. B&M hypers may not always be the most intense but in the back row the helix and turns were fast and intense, all while being exceptionally smooth.

Nitro isn't the most forceful hyper going, a disadvantage when you've been on the incredible Superman at SFNE just a few days before. It's a superbly engineered B&M, but lacks features to stand out as an excellent ride. A shout out does go to the hybrid airtime hill/turn near the beginning, which does a clever combo of ejector and sideways-orientation at the same time that I've not experienced anywhere else.

Airtimes First Drop Capacity

Nitro is arguably the best B&M hyper coaster. The floater airtime is great, the first drop is awesome, and the helix is intense. My only issue is that the train rumbles slightly in some parts. The layout is also perfect.

Airtimes Ejectors

Silky smooth, amazing airtime and a crazy intense helix in the middle.

Airtimes Location Pace

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.

Airtimes Fun Harness Theming

Nitro i would consider a pretty solid hyper. It's got tons of floater air and it's really smooth as well. It may get overshadowed by it's godly wooden neighbor but Nitro certainly is a fun ride. The drop is pretty good, more air on it than Apollo or SFMM Goliath. Then you go through these massive floater hills which are tons of fun. The hammerhead turn is pretty interesting as well and gets some decent force. More hills and then the Helix. Now this helix is intense. I was shocked by it. After this, there's more of these bunny hills and then you go into the brakes. Overall, Nitro is pretty damn good. Maybe it needs a little more vareity in it's layout but it does everything else pretty well. Give this awesome B&M a whirl.

A fun B&M hyper with some good floater air and an intense mid-course helix. The rest of the layout lacks stronger G forces however.
