Six Flags Great Adventure

Last Saturday Matt's company had a special group deal for Six Flags Great Adventure. You better believe that while my parents were up here we had to go to a theme park!

Everyone knows how Disney obsessed we were last year, why not it was in our backyard. So after having some withdrawls we finally got to go to a theme park again.


Along with a Disney obsession I also have a love for roller coasters. Well Six Flags are known for their roller coasters...

Matt's company group special also included the opportunity to enter the park an hour early to ride their newest ride the Green Lantern before the park officially opened.

Since my mom is the best (and not a roller coaster rider) she watched the kids while Matt, my dad and myself went on the Green Lantern.

We (minus my dad) then got to hop right back on but switched to the front row. We could of done this for a full hour (aside from us being late) but we decided twice was enough.

My thoughts personally on the Green Lantern, the position in which you stand with a bicycle seat between your legs is uncomfortable and for those shorties like myself your head gets battered around in the top harness. I couldn't keep my head from rattling around. The rollercoaster itself was fun but not great.


Later we got to go on Nitro, and both Matt and I really liked it. Much smoother, great drops and long enough to not think that's it?!

I really wanted to go on Kingda Ka but it was closed.

As far as for the kids, there were a ton of great kiddie rides.
Maddie of course made us ride on the carousel.
Mason took us into Bugs Bunny's Fun factory which was this tent full of soft balls that you could shoot with air, drop all over the place from baskets and for the parents... vacuum up so they could do it all over again.
They also rode Bugs Bunny's Ranger Pilots, Daffy's Deep Diver, Pepe Le Pew's Hearts Away and numerous more!

On our next trip we still have a lot to see at Six Flags Great Adventure but especially the drive through Safari!

As far as my personal favorites Sheikra from Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and The Incredible Hulk from Islands of Adventure in Orlando still hold the top spots for roller coasters that I've been on.
