Top 10 Best Roller Coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure
Best roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ.
-
El Toro
Anyone who's been on this knows it packs the biggest punch by far in the park. The first drop and airtime on this ride are insane, and it's incredibly smooth for a wooden coaster, which makes it a very enjoyable ride, unlike your average wooden coaster.
The speed on this feels much faster than the stats say, and it's been proven before that this coaster sometimes reaches speeds of 75 MPH instead of 70. Best ride at Six Flags and best wooden roller coaster in the world.
This is honestly my favorite roller coaster. I've been to SFGA, Kings Dominion, Hershey Park, Cedar Point, all the central Florida theme parks, and Carowinds (before Fury opened), and this is still my #1.
You can call me crazy, but this is the best roller coaster on the planet hands down. Airtime, fast, intense, surprisingly smooth, and fun!

Nitro
Nitro is the greatest ride in the world! Jam-packed full of floater airtime and breathtaking views. It's like a visit to the chiropractor.
Also, this ride is all mental, so any who are scared to ride should just take a deep breath in and scream on that first drop. Once you've mentally conquered Nitro, you're free to ride anything else except for El Toro and Kingda Ka.
My favorite in the park. It's pretty intense in the back row. What puts it above El Toro for me is: it's taller, faster, the restraints are small, and it's in an open area.
The first hill on Nitro is way scarier and more intense than El Toro.

Medusa
Top Speed: 61 MPH
Height: 142 ft.
First Drop Height: 132 ft.
Inversions: 7
Bizarro, in my opinion, is the best inverting ride at SFGA. Formerly Medusa until its 2008 makeover, this looper offers a combination of thrilling loops and special effects to create a ride that overtakes its nemesis, Superman, as the better ride.
Flamethrowers, lasers, and famous lines from movies are just the beginning on this ride. Bizarro truly is #1 among inverted coasters at SFGA, and it lets you know in a big way.

Batman: The Ride
With all the loops and twists, it has to be the best ride there.
-
Superman: Ultimate Flight
Top Speed: 60 MPH
Height: 106 ft.
First Drop Height: 100 ft.
Inversions: 2
Superman: Ultimate Flight is unique in that it's a flying coaster, where you're turned on your stomach throughout the ride. This fits the Superman theme perfectly.
The ride is not the tallest or the fastest, but it is fun throughout the whole ride and has its major moment: the pretzel loop. The feeling of being pressed into your seat and feeling like you're falling through the air on the loop is extraordinary. This roller coaster will make you feel like the Man of Steel, Superman.
This one is the best for beginners as it's slow, graceful, and feels like you're flying. No stomach drop feeling. 100-foot drop (I can handle those). Even the pretzel loop isn't that high, and you just get pushed back like Gravitron or Round-Up during that. SUPERMAN!

Skull Mountain
Note: Rolling Thunder would be in this spot, but sadly it has been demolished. R.I.P. Rolling Thunder.
It's a dark indoor coaster, and the feeling that you're going to fall off the ride is fun.
Ride this in the back. Ejector air is awesome.

The Dark Knight Coaster
I went on this twice during my class trip.
-
Jersey Devil Coaster
-
The Joker
-
Runaway Mine Train
It's a classic, though it's not very thrilling. More of a family coaster than anything. Worth a ride.
Even though it's just a family coaster, it is special because it is the oldest ride there.

Harley Quinn Crazy Train

Lil' Devil Coaster
