Coaster reviews

Launch Intensity Reliability

I remember meeting the height for this ride and begging my parents to go on. They let me, and it was amazing. I would always listen to the Batman & Robin soundtrack on my Discman in line (putting it away when I boarded -- of course.) The launch was INSANE, and the whole intensity of the thing blew my freakin' mind. Batman side was better, but it was always closed.

Theming Inversions Intensity

I remember when this got announced. Since I was a fan of Superman who read the comics and watched the cartoon, I got PSYCHED!! We went and the first thing I saw in the queue was Brainiac, my favourite villain!! But he looked like some weirdo in a bodysuit and cape. Even then, that outfit was just SO... lovely. I remember getting on behind this older boy. Once the seats flipped down, I got kinda scared, but I knew this was FLYING LIKE SUPERMAN and brushed it off. As we ascended the hill, the boy in front of me actually said, "Farewell, Krypton" like Brainiac in Superman TAS!! I was laughing SO hard!! The drop was incredible, and the Pretzel Loop was just as fun. Once we got off, I felt like I had been Supergirl. I went to go talk to the boy I was behind. His name was Nicholas, and he too was a fan of Brainiac in the cartoon. We rode most of the other rides that day. Have never seen him again.

First Drop Fun Ejectors

I remember the first time I sat in the back of this ride. It was how I learned about ejector. I went, "YIPPEE!!" once we went down that drop. Truly a religious experience.

Fun Ejectors Duration

I rode this during a winter festival at SFGAdv in 2001. My parents were sitting next to me, and they would say, "Here comes a drop, Yuuki-chan. Here comes another one. Hold on!" I enjoyed "jumping" (as I called ejector back then.) It's still fun! I enjoy the scenic views it gives.

Theming Fun

Back when I was like 5 years old, Road Runner from Looney Tunes always made me laugh due to his "Meep Meep!" So when okaa-san pointed out this ride, I started laughing so hard and wanted to go on it! They seated me in the very front, since I had a Road Runner stuffy (I don't remember where it came from. Want to say it was the Warner Bros. Studio Store...) and they called me "our star rider!" I was giggling the entire time and going "Meep Meep!" My parents taped it with their camcorder. Hilarious. Now, nowadays, it's nothing special, but I'll still always remember that day.

Airtimes Comfort Fun

I rode a few hypers like Superman Ride of Steel at SFNE and the other hypers bearing the name at SFA and SFDL, but I didn't want to try Nitro, because I didn't really like the feeling the first drop gave me. But one Fright Fest of 2004, inspired by Cyborg the night prior, I SENT IT!! It turned out to be really fun! The restraints give you great room and secure you in place. IT FELT LIKE I WAS FLYING!! It became my newest darling, and I rode it thru out 2005 and beyond.

First Drop Hangtime

I rode Wonder Woman at SFFT back in 2018 so I got hyped for this ride! It did not disappoint! The first drop is the second most intense drop in the park and the hangtime on the stall is stellar! It was a bit slow at first, but now it's at a good pace. Ride it, you'll like it!

Nice surprise! Launch Harness

I rode this a week after it opened, and I wasn't expecting 400 ft to look so TERRIFYING!! I never went on it again, until when I became a teenager. Even then, I had my eyes closed for awhile until I developed a coping method for my acrophobia. That being said, I love the launch! There's something about having your brain forcefully ripped from your body that's charming. I don't like the OTSRs, though. I understand NJ is strict about safety after what happened with Action Park (one of my friends who is like in her 50s actually went there), but it kinda ruins the experience.

Inversions Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

I rode this on opening day; hell, I think it was media day, since I got excited for the Green Lantern movie. This ride banged my head round, and made me sick! I THREW UP AFTERWARDS!! I even said, "Green Lantern needs a better ride." I enjoyed the movie, but I sure hate this ride! I will say, though: the inversions are pretty nice.

Fun

Back when it was Blackbeard's, this was my first Six Flags coaster. I didn't sit in the back, but I did once I heard about how the back row produces more whippiness. Those laterals got me good! I kept on coming back for more.
