What riders love
  • I went on every major (open) coaster at Great Adventure, and this was the only one to cause me to gray out a little (on the helix).
  • Don’t let the fact that this is a clone fool you: it is intense!
  • It’s also full of awesome positives, especially the helix, which will make you grey out.
  • This thing is wildly intense, all the inversions and forceful helices, and the whip on that zero-g roll, as is tradition with old school B&M was absolutely fantastic!
  • Those lovely inversions, the whole intensity of the thing... I had my eyes closed, but I could feel it. It was like an adrenaline boost.
  • All of the inversions pack a punch especially those corkscrews.
  • Brings the ruckus from the first second to the last.
  • This was my first invert besides Raptor, and the snappiness, relentless pace, and forcefulness took me by surprise.
  • Good ride, great pacing, and just non stop the whole ride.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure

I was weightless during the first drop, and the g-forces yanked you around the whole ride.

NJ-Anglerr

THIS is how you do a coaster without airtime.

Bubble Gaming

This version was actually somewhat comfortable, and I could enjoy the compact layout more because it was not too intense.

Erik C.

Headbanging is a minor issue, however, the small loop, heartline rolls, and helixes all produce big G Forces that make this a blast.

Clayton Latone

This just hurts and is not very interesting, and it’s probably the 2nd worst B&M I’ve ridden, only behind that green piece of crap at that same park that is not worth mentioning by name.

Dalia

While this one certainly has a nice layout with plenty of whippy inversions and a pretty strong helix, this one just didn’t do it for me.

Chermaine Streppel

These batman clones are so underrated, I don’t care how many of them there are because they are just great rides, some of the most intense coasters out there.

Carter Eckhart

A great and intense ride that has good layout but has been cloned perhaps more than any other.

Luke DiCola

The relentlessness of the positive Gs on these things tips past fun and into uncomfortable for me.

Em McMahon

I enjoyed this more than Batman clone at Magic Mountain mostly due to the fact that this ride is not overly intense in comparison.

Erik C.

This was my first invert besides Raptor, and the snappiness, relentless pace, and forcefulness took me by surprise.

Jackie ODoyle

It’s also ridiculously well paced, it tears through the layout.

CoasterKing

When you go into the drop, it feels like something just pushes you to make you go faster.

Wicked Cyclone

This ride is fast, very well-paced, and the inversions come at you with relentless speed.

David

And it was going so fast tears were spilling out of my eyes from when I was about to cry in line.

@mad-dogsworld7143

And also I feel like that they increased the speed on this thing ’cuz it feels faster

@adriannabradley6657

heavy g’s on the corkscrews, the drop was awesome, short line, and my first inverted coaster

@TheEpic22

But prepare to wait a while because the dispatch time is slow but not to bad.

Isaiah White

This ride is weird b/c sometimes it has no line and other times it has 2 hour wait lines

@keylahernandez3484
Motion sickness risk

this ride made me feel sick and nauseous and i couldn’t function when i got off.

Esme B.

Other then that I feel a little dizzy after riding it but that’s probably just from adrenaline.

Chermaine Streppel, Captain Coaster review

nice eye candy, batman props and especially the queue (before you enter the claustrophobic stair line)

Alex B, Captain Coaster review

While they’re absolutely everywhere, they’re still really fun rides; as pretty much all inverts are from my experience.

Evangelion Martini, Captain Coaster review
