What riders love
  • The first drop took me by complete surprise with its whip.
  • The drop alone makes asking for back row worth it.
  • I just went on this ride today, after getting scared of the steep first drop for about a year. I LOVED it!!
  • the airtime is way stronger than people say it is and that drop is incredible.
  • The layout never gives you a second to breathe, with the extremely whippy transitions and out of this world ejectors.
  • The best ride was in the rear seat in the rain - crazy ejectors and whip.
  • There’s also 3 amazing inversions: the snappy dive loop, the floaty zero-g roll, and the stall, which is an incredible moment of hangtime.
  • Zero-g stall is wicked on this ride.
  • The zero G stall is it's best element.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure

Jersey Devil Coaster has a ton of airtime and whip, so much that it genuinely caught me off guard in a good way, but it is surprisingly rough.

Landen Baird

The ride has really fast pacing no dead spots the airtime pops is amazing but what I think kinda ruins it is the restrains it’s very uncomfortable and the capacity is good but the line never moved...

Aidan Haddock

It’s got a killer first drop, followed by a layout chalked full of whippy inversions, ejector + floater airtime, and some solid laterals.

Anthony DeNight Jr.

...day at six flags ever, and this was my last ride I rode on and it was well worth the waiting line, caught airtime, it was smooth, fast, and just enjoyable overall, just wish it was a little longer!

shawn

It mostly felt like filler elements and the airtime was pretty weak throughout, the drop as well as the dive loop and stall were pretty fun but that was mostly about it.

Cooper Zimmerman

The main things that give it the edge over it’s SFMM counterpart are it’s pretty location and the fact that it was much smoother, which I always appreciate.

Ryan Armstrong

it’s smooth and I love the rmc raptor model but it’s just the restrains on these coasters to me

Aidan Haddock

There is unfortunately assigned seating meaning you don’t choose where you want to sit and the hills can thrash you around on the ride.

Clayton Latone

First time I rode this (in the fall) it had a shockingly bad rattle at the track seams and in the valleys.

Emma

Jersey Devil Coaster lives up to its name: this RMC single rail ride is non stop action from its crazy first drop, to its zero g stall, ejector hills, and double downs.

Clayton Latone

It borders on being a bit too intense.

Brian Sheldon

its intense in back airtime is insane omg the line is so short and the ride is master piece awesome operations is good i like the lapbar unpopular opinion drop is awesome

Enzo

I know I found it a bit necessary after how intense the rest of the layout was, but I definitely felt like it could’ve done more things with the second half of its layout.

Matt Rappaport

If Six Flags and RMC’s intent was to create a less extreme, crowd-pleasing Raptor over the white-knuckle, intense experience of the prototypes, then they certainly succeeded.

Kw6sTheater

The first near 90 degree drop is amazing and the coaster absolutely flies through its layout otherwise, with some awesome inversions and tight turns.

Matt Rappaport

I still wish these had a lap bar and a little more legroom but this thing hauls through the layout and does some truly insane stuff

Kellen Grady

This single rail coaster gave me a good first impression of single rail coasters it has an awesome pace, but the restraints are uncomfortable, overall good coaster.

Xander Neagoe

However, The ride really speeds up during the day and in the afternoon and evening it hauls through its layout.

Luke DiCola

Let’s be real this is has the worst pacing on any Raptor in the world not a bad ride in the slightest but I feel as though a great adventure could have been so much better for that it’s plot of land i...

Theodore Orfan

Capacity was not an issue on the day I went as the lines were short (not surprising in November.) The first drop is great.

Sean Reardon

Was able to ride 4-5 times in a row without leaving the cart due to no line / nobody waiting in queue.

Maeve N.

They were running 4 trains, and it had fast dispatches, despite the single-file trains.

Matt K

...the airtime pops is amazing but what I think kinda ruins it is the restrains it’s very uncomfortable and the capacity is good but the line never moved every 5 or 10 minutes or so you would move..

Aidan Haddock

However, the wait time could be quite long if the queue was mostly full.

Criticised for

Uncomfortable restraintsPainful or bruisingLong waitsSlowed by trims

Fun, tall, fast, and steep, but has uncomfortable restraints (has both seatbelt over shoulders and lap bar, the main problem is the lap bar which presses against your pelvis) and its very short (another inversion after the break run wouldve been fun...

Jesse, Captain Coaster review

Let’s be real this is has the worst pacing on any Raptor in the world not a bad ride in the slightest but I feel as though a great adventure could have been so much better for that it’s plot of land i would have even taken a drop tower.

Theodore Orfan, Captain Coaster review

Strong layout with a good length and some some nice elements like the stall and camelback, but the restraints on these coasters are very uncomfortable in my opinion.

Chris Jones, Captain Coaster review

The layout never gives you a second to breathe, with the extremely whippy transitions and out of this world ejectors.

symical coaster, Captain Coaster review

DO NOT SIT IN THE BACK, this ride hurt my leg for the rest of the day last time I went on it.

Ghost, Captain Coaster review

This ride had a great layout and some good airtime but I struggle to like it anymore because of the restraints.
