Oh wow, I just watched the virtual video on SF's website. It looks awesome. I hope I can make a trip out there next season.

I can no longer say I've been on the tallest and fastest coaster in the world. LOL

[CoasterKing]

Thats so sweet!!!

[rct2wizard360]

How did I know they would use OTSR's?!?!? Eh Oh well, It looks cool, I cant wait to make a trip out there this summer!

[SIC COASTER]

Noone flys out of OTSRs, and I guess Six Flags doesn't want to take any chances with the T bar.

I definitly wanna go, and I like thier twin station, lets hope we get a clone and build three feet taller. That brake run still seems kindof small.

What's also cool, is that they are putting in a whole new area with it. Very creative. Great job Six Flags!
Hope this brings up stocks.

That brake run still seems kindof small.

Im taking a wild guess here, but I am thinking the downside of the airtime hill will most likely be part of the brake run. It seems as if Intamin now likes to put the brake runs on steeper angle's. (example: X-celertor/Storm Runner).

Im really looking forward to riding this ride, and im glad they are adding more to it then just Launch, Top Hat, Brakes.....although not much more.

I posted this in my topic about the SF website, but here is the official link to the SFGAdv stie: http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/index.asp

Wow, that looks amazing. TTD is my fav. coaster so I cant imagine how good that would be. I like how it has a bunny hill after the top hat instead of brakes. The theming and new section also looks top notch. I have to get there next summer.

[mr. dejavu]

Sounds awesome. If only SFGA could have one.

[playerplex]

Of course its not here.

[sixflagsguy5]

That things awesome but why does it have OTSR if it doesn't go upside down. Or does it go upside down because i can't play the video.

And is there something about a height limit at six flags because someone said that the tallest we can build is 330 or something.

[SfGaMownz]

Six Flags probally wants to be safe, they've had enough accidents and things like that. Lets just hope that this ride doesn't have extended down time like some of Six Flags most recent additions to some of their parks.

Cant Wait, We Are Going Next Summer.

[rct2wizard360]

The way things are looking in the future of rollercoasters, that height restriction will one day, be gone.......or so I hope!

[Sedir]

I like that theme and that "after hill." Except the trees looked pretty close to the track..

[coasterzak]

I'm not liking the OTSR because on SR it sucked . . . looks like an awesome coaster though. It's got something better then CP! OH NO!!!! (just kidding of course, I'm excited for a coaster addition anywhere in the world).

[mr. dejavu]

I think SFGA can get permission to build higher than the limit.

[da rcman2001]

Im gonna ride it OVER, and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again this summer Look this face is me watching it shoot up the tower from the parking lot> HAHA cant wait.

[Do I Know You]

Pph, Dragster with a camelback.

[DejaVu The Ride]

The coaster looks amazing! There is only one problem though. It's like looking at Dragster with new colors. Yes, I know it is not a clone, but everytime I think about the ride, Dragster will always be in my head.

I like the theme though. Hopefully they will theme it well with a nice queue line. I will definately make a trip to New Jersey this year.(Well I was even before I knew they were building the tallest and fastest coaster in the world.)

[sixflagsguy5]

I'm trying to talk my parents into that, valleyfair, or PKI.

[yeti_cat]

TTD had its moments, but overall, not much to it. They added a hill so thats a start. When they make a coaster that goes that high and goes upsidedown or underground or all around, then I'll be impressed.

Beating the current world record by 10 units or so doesn't count in my book, kinda lame actually, as if SF just wanted the publicity of having a record breaking coaster. Breaking a record for breaking a record gets old.

[sixflagsguy5]

On TTD did you get any airtime on the drop or not. They shouldn't have the stupid 270 twist it would be better with airtime.
