New For 2001
Nitro

Opens Spring 2001

After months of waiting and knowing Six Flags Great Adventure was going to recieve a new B&M coaster, we now know all of the facts. Nitro will be the world's tallest and fastest B&M coaster. With an awesome 230 foot lifthill, a 66 degree 215 footdrop, and over a mile of trackwork, Nitro will also become the tallest, fastest, and longest coaster in the Northeast. But the neatest part of all takes place at the top of the lifthill. Unlike every other B&M coaster (except for those nutty vertical ones!) this coaster will dive straight off of the lift hill causing massive airtime in the back seats! This might just be the most exciting coaster of the first year in the new Millennium!
