El Toro
A giant leap forward for wooden coasters,
this coaster's intensity and smoothness rival its steel counterparks
Nitro
New for 2001, Great Adventure continues a most impressive relationship
with Bolliger and Mabillard, as evidenced by this marvel:
Nothing changes a park's skyline like a hypercoaster
Got Steel?
Luckily, the money Six Flags saved on theming, was spent on quality
Inside joke for riders, elevation signs as the coaster climbs the lift
Whoever thought Batman could ever look so pathetic?
Like all B&M's, this one is even better to ride than to look at...
Medusa
The serpentine structure towers over the entry plaza
It even gets nice and personal with the midway
Batman: The Ride
Thanks to Nitro, and whole new range of views are afforded
Previously off-limits, Batman now does its twist-and-dive over a midway
Just for fun, count the number of roller coasters named batman in this picture
(answer: two, thanks to the clever people at Six Flags)
Viper (defunct)
Quite an embarrassment for Great Adventure, Viper waits demolition silently, having battered it's share of riders
Batman and Robin: The Chiller
This convoluted dueling LIM coaster is considered of the most intense experiences out there
Batman hits the Top Hat, a first-of-its-kind inversion
Once quite exciting, most people dread the extra-bumpy return trip
Rolling Thunder
Can't you hear it begging for a paintjob?
(not literally, it's just a personification)
Evolution
If you want to see how this ride works, visit this park and see it for yourself
The logisitics are mind-boggling, and a ride on it will actually make you confuse the ground for sky, and vice-versa
