Hammad Khan I haven't tried El Toro, yet. But, so far, Nitro was the most intense I've been on.

I always appreciate your honesty when it comes to these reviews and vlogs, Shawn. Great Adventure has always been a bucket list park for me ever since I started re-creating Kingda Ka in RCT3, and all the Six Flags parks in general. These Six Flags park vlogs have been a great sneak peek of what I'm about to expect when I visit them in real life, even though if they undergo some drastic changes.

El Toro and kingda ka and nitro seems to be the best ones here

@AndreFarrar

D L They are. Nitro is king.

El Toro, Kingda Ka, Nitro, it’s hard to find a park with a better BIG3. I love the drop ride also, I haven’t been able to enjoy other drop rides since.

Amazing vlog! Seeing Kingda Ka appearing over those trees, looked like an amazing moment. And I also immediately thought of RCT when Skull Mountain showed up on the vlog 😂 will have to get to here at some point 👍

Next time, you MUST ride Skull Mountain again in the very back row. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go straight to the back, ask no questions, and get in that row. Give yourself some space in the lap bar, and on that first drop experience the park’s greatest WTF, and join the cult of the Skull Mountain. The drop tower was intended to run simultaneously with Kingda Ka like with lex Luther at SFMM, but the state of New Jersey wouldn’t let them. Same reason why KK has OSTR’s NJ decided for some stupid reason that any amusement ride over 300ft tall would need ostrs from what I understand. I also hear that the upcharge for the lockers goes to the locker company not to 6F. Doesn’t really make it better, but mildly interesting imo

Also, yes the locker situation sucks, but if you have a fanny pack or zippered pockets, you can store small loose articles with you on all rides except Joker, Kingda Ka, and El Toro. Still sucks that you need to pay at all and that most rides don’t support large objects, but it’s more manageable if you pack light enough to fit in zippered pockets or a Fanny pack

My 2nd favorite park. I've been there close to a dozen times and the last hour of every visit is spent marathoning El Toro. The thing with this park is that, with it being so big, you really need to do the rides when you are close to them. It's a LOT of walking if you are trying to hit all of the coasters and you to try to walk back and forth from one side of the park and back to the other. PLUS, take advantage of the re-rides. I've sat on Nitro for an hour on a Saturday afternoon.

3:01 nice voice crack lol 😂

The only park on the trip I can actually weigh in with my opinions on! I only got to come here for just over half a day, but after this, I can gladly say El Toro and Kingda Ka are my top 2 coasters, and Nitro is also in my top 5. Regarding the park, I was actually impressed, the operations were great and some areas of the park were actually fairly nicely landscaped, and then there's also the area by Nitro... Great to hear your views Shawn!

What are your top ten, I haven’t been on two many roller coasters so I can only make a number one which is Ghost Rider at Knotts

It’s my home park as well and I always hear a lot of people talk about the rides there . But as a regular who goes to the park every week or 2 weeks . It has its ups and downs . Every park that they went to had there ups and downs

You know you're in the presence of an enthusiast when they say ''I hope we get a roll-back on Kingda Ka'' xD I would NEVER imagine even getting on that ride, not because of the hight, it just looks terrifying! Let alone getting a roll-back 17:20 OMG It's Iron Man the ride! Everyone's favourite Six Flags Great Adventure B&M Invert! 18:30 Because I've never been to America (and probably never will get the chance to go to America), looking at this ride just gives me major Valhalla vibes xD

America has tons of amazing amusement parks... They passd Michigan's Adventure, Kentucky Kingdom, Dorney Park, Morey's Pierrs, Oakwood, Lake Compounce, Canobie Park, Magic Springs, and so many more parks that are incredible and offer 10x better experiences then these six flags parks. Out of the entire trip, Holiday World, Knoebels, and Kennywood were the only ones they did and they said those (+silver dollar city) were the best days of the trip for them. I don't like six flags parks. I actually had the worst time during my last Great Adventure visit but they draw in so many with their coasters when honestly, if your traveling from abroad prioritize the independent American amusement parks and theme parks before ANY six flags park. They truly are bottom barrel and its a common mistake people make when comming here... Fear not tho... Six flags is in deep financial trouble and have low attendance at their parks and once they go under and get bought by other companies those parks should turn around.

That was my home park growing up in New Jersey (now it's Carowinds). Last time I was there was in the 90's, so I'm anxious to watch this to see what you guys thought and how the park has changed. I've had a lot of fun following the journey you guys had with these parks. It's been fantastic!

Been enjoying road trip vlogs, keep it up! That's an awful experience at the end of night with Kingda KA, glad you were able to get on but, you shouldn't had to deal with that.

I knew before watching this exactly what you were going to say about kingda ka and how it compares to top thrill dragster because even though I haven’t been on either of them, from watching videos about them, I predicted that’s exactly how it would be. Hope you had a great time and so glad you managed to get the cred after it was down at the start!

I’m going to six flags tomorrow,so I’m glad that I have an idea of what rides I should go on thanks!

I assumed that the general rule-of-thumb for relocated B&Ms, is that the loop stays the original color. Like this one and Dominator at Kings Dominion.

Roller coaster tycoon 2 should sponsor Shawn 😂😂😂

Next, my most anticipated vlog of this trip! Six Flags New England! It's my home park!

I'll be visiting this park for the first time very soon. I watched your video from start to finish, and I really enjoyed hearing the final thoughts at the end from two different people, I can't wait to ride Kingda Ka!

@mixampo Oh lol, I've ridden Steel Vengeance in fact and El Toro shits all over it. SteVe has pretty weak airtime, mediocre pacing, and absolutely 0 intensity. El Toro has stronger airtime than anything else I've ridden by a mile (closest is Magnum, but it's not even close still) It's also top 3 most intense coasters I've ridden, 1. is Kingda Ka, 2. El Toro, 3. X2. Additionally the roughness adds to the already bonkers intensity and the pacing is stupidly good, it doesn't even look real if you've seen it irl. Also when I used the g force app on El Toro is said there were 6 moments of 4.0 + positives and 4 moments of 1.4 + negatives. If you've ridden El Toro, it must've been an empty train mid row ride on the first day of the season

Great vlog guys. Really enjoying the trip. Nice cap Shawn, I have a Tennessee Vols cap as well.👍

I live close and love going GA. My fave is El Torro. That is one of the best wooden roller coaster. I tried Kingda Ka once and it took two tries to go over the hump.

Six Flags Tragic Mountain. I’m gonna have to use that one of these days.

The Jersey state actually told Six Flags they can't run Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro at the same time, Six flags did that because they thought it would have a similar feel to Lex Luthor at Magic Mountain and they were originally supposed to run at the same time. This is one of my home parks and I'm glad you guys enjoyed Ka, Nitro, and El Toro! P.s I hope you come back for Jersey Devil!

I’m so glad that you enjoyed The Dark Knight and gave it the praise it deserves. I really appreciate the pre-show, theming, and overall experience, and it’s a shame that the ride often gets disparaged because it’s not a “thrill” ride. While Skull Mountain has an impressive scenic buildup, it loses all theming after the lift hill, while The Dark Knight commits to the theming all throughout.

Hi shawn and Alex great vlog shame Alex felt so tired hope he felt better later you guys have done so well amazing trip . Xxx

Can you do a new top 10 after riding untamed

Where you were walking by the lake, they used to have a big grandstand and at one point in history a water-skiing show. They also used to have a dolphin show (and maybe a diving show?) by the lake. They knocked it all down to build the Joker ride.

I remember the parachute drop at Drayton Manor, the one ride that genuinely terrified me! I have been loving all the vlogs from this trip, thank you for all your hard work!

No way! My home park. I like Great Adventure enough to get passes every year but it definitely needs more love and care. The Justice League area is becoming my favorite the more they add to it. Edit: I’ve been tall enough to ride Kingda Ka since it first opened up, yet I’ve only been willing to wait in line a handful of times. I’ve waited through a 2.5 hour maintenance repair just to ride with friends.

I was there a week before you, with ElToroRyan and then again a few weeks later. They had since removed the jackhammer at the bottom of the rolling thunder hill! This ride is second only to night rides on the voyage at holiday world!!
