Best Roller Coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure?

Question

Im going to Six Flags Great Adventure this week and Im just wondering what are the best roller coasters there. Ive heard a couple are awsome but i dont know the name, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

I go to six flags all the time and here are all the roller coasters, in order of my preference starting with the one I like most.

1. Kingda Ka - Its the fastest (128 mph) and steepest (456 ft) rollercoaster in the world.  It's a real adrenaline rush but the lines are normally long.  If you want to skip the long line for this, get to the park at about 10, a half hour before the park opens.  Wait at the gate and once they open it, run over to Kingda Ka.  Everyone is headed towards Kingda Ka, but even if it looks like a million people are getting ahead of you, the line will still be a TON shorter than if you wait until later in the day.

2. Nitro - No flips but a ton of huge drops.  It's a pretty long rollercoaster, 3 minutes, so it's worth the wait.  It goes around 80 miles per hour and had about 7 or 8 giant drops.  Really comfortable seats too!  

3. Medusa - Your typical crazy rollercoaster with tons of flips and corkscrews.  Also around 3 minutes long.  This line goes pretty fast since there are 3 trains with a capacity of 32 riders per train.

4.  Superman - This one is cool because once you are strapped in the seat you are in actually turn so that you are on your stomach and it seems like your flying.  There are even point where you're flying on your back!

5.  El Toro - This one is a wooden rollercoaster which holds the record for steepest drop (for a wooden rollercoaster of course).  The drop is 76 degrees straight down.  I would recommend not holding onto the bar in front of you but the handles on the side of you.  If you hold on to the bar in front, the first drop will push you way forward and the pressure makes it too hard to get back up, and you end up riding the entire rollercoaster with your back way hunched, and looking down.  I also like this rollercoaster because at the top of like 9 different drops, you feel like you're going to fly out of your seat!  Second tallest and fastest wooden rollercoaster in the world.

6. Batman - Also a bunch of flips and corkscrews, but a relativley short ride.  I dont like this one as much because my head tends to bang against the shoulder straps giving me a headache, but the ride in general is fun.

7. The Great American Scream Machine - Seven loops and a corkscrew but quite shaky and also can give quite a headache.  But it's still fun and there is usually practically no line for this one so it's definitely worth it.

9. Skull Mountain - Not a real thrill or gut wrencher, but still a roller coaster all the same, and a fun break from some of the monster coasters.  It's totally in the dark which makes it fun and unpredictable.

8.  Dark Knight Coaster - Way overrated.  The commercials have been raving about it for months, and its really, not that great.  It's similar to Skull Mountain for the fact that it's in the dark and its not to crazy, but considering the 45 minute to an hour wait, not worth it.

Six Flags is an AWESOME amusement park and I absolutely love it there, I hope this little guide helped!

Answer 2

King Da Ka- it's a world record rollercoaster, fastest and the tallest, there tends to be a wicked long line, but worth it. there is also a new wooden coaster called el torro i believe, i have not been on it since it opened but i have heard good things about it. Also superman ultimate flight, it isn't a WOW coaster but it has a unique feeling cuz you are on you belly like you are really flying
