The lift hill on Green Lantern has finished, bringing the coaster to it's max height. I have to say it looks a little odd right there in front of Superman.

Here's a photo from their Facebook page!

Oh, for height details the lift hill is 154 feet, with a 144 foot drop.

Looking good, Can't wait to see some the layout start to go up.

wow unless it is just the angle, but it is dwarfing superman

Well it IS about 50 ft taller so it's gonna dward the flyer no matter what.

GASM would dwarf both of them =P

In some ways, many other factors must be considered when deciding what dwarves what...Superman or Gasm.

Wow...did he just say what I think he said?

Millennium Force 44 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 25, 2011, 05:26:23 PM »

considering where the lifthill was on GASM and where Green Lantern's is, GASM didn't seem as tall. I am sure GASM will still look much better in this spot than Green Lantern will.

B-mac · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2011, 05:58:21 PM »

Gasm was 188 ft. tall, while "chang" is now 154 ft. tall.

-remember that Gasm was once the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster. Plus it was one of the first three coasters built with seven inversions. (shockwave and viper respectively)

The layout of GASM was perfect for that spot. The lift hill made it a VERY prominent and powerful fixture on the Boardwalk. The second and third loops making the "smiley face" in the parking lot was always a welcome feature that I looked forward to every visit to the park. With Superman and Kingda Ka added in afterwards, the park's front line of the wall of coasters was very neat in appearance.

Green Lantern on the other hand will have it's lower points facing the park, immediately making it seem less intimidating from in the park. Also, the fact that it goes around Superman the way it does kind of looks sloppy to me, like the park is just throwing coaster upon coaster on top of each other. This is what I feel the mental picture was the first time I told my parents about Cedar Point and it's 16 [at the time] coasters. That isn't exactly a good thing.

Indeed...I have told friends that Mr. Weber is making Great Adventure look like Cedar Point. I agree...that is NOT necessarily a good thing.

Flat rides...please.

I agree it is not a good thing ... I also would like a few flats thrown in to our park WE need them BADLY !!

B-mac · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2011, 09:29:19 PM »

I believe Six Flags America has more flat rides than Great Adventure does.

While it may look strange from the same angle as the photo at the top of this page when its done it should look pretty good.

IMO, nothing can replace the artistic beauty of the Arrow Mega Loopers. So to that end, nothing else could have replaced it. With that said, I'm actually sorta glad they are at least placing a ride of this magnitude there since it's still good eye candy when you pull in.

And just to start the fun speculation, it was actually rumored just a couple years back that Supes wouldn't be staying. So you never know. I'd personally welcome this departure if just to get rid of the coaster clutter.

B-mac · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2011, 09:39:21 AM »

Superman for a mini GCI, or even a gravity groupie. That'd be awesome.

The park really needs another woodie, preferably on the Nitro side of the park.

reggie's Jersey Devil comes to mind...

I'm all for more wood as long as it doesn't have a stapling lap bar like Toro. But not 'til they fix their major deficiencies; i.e. stuff to do other than ride roller coasters and play games.

I for one would be happy to see Sup go ... I would like to see some flats and maybe a NJ Devil woodie ... anything but torn down rides with no replacements or another "CHANG"ed coaster !

They have games still? I thought all that stuff on in the boardwalk was for decoration!!!
