El Toro, hands down.  It's a high quality ride, and it never gets old.

Rolling Thunder.  I don't know why, it just is.   :)

It's my sentimental favorite.

Clementon's Jack Rabbit was my first wooden coaster but RT was the big wooden coaster located at the big park. The anticipation of waiting to ride until I was tall enough make it a big deal in my heart.

Nitro. I love it. It's a solid ride from start to finish with no dead spots, and it finishes with punch instead of crawling onto the brakes.

I'm still a huge fan of Medusa.  The monkeys and the zero g roll will never get old to me.

Rolling Thunder...a sentimental favorite of mine! :)

Although I adore El Toro and Nitro, Rolling Thunder is my favorite ride in the park, by far. 

I miss the Frisbee, too!

Just a name, paint scheme and theme change along with some show effects like fire, fog, music, lighting, etc.

Try to keep on topic guys.  There is another thread discussing the Medusa transformation :).

My two favorite coasters at Great Adventure are Nitro and El Toro. I think both rides are equally awesome and they both have the airtime that I love. For some reason though, I always go to El Toro first almost everytime I visit the park.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: nitrorox1414 on January 09, 2009, 04:38:02 PM
i usually ride scream machine or superman first because they are the closest

El Toro late in the day after it has had time to warm up is my favorite.
But I'll never pass it up in the morning as everyone else is queuing up for Kingda Ka.
When you hit that lift you just know it is going to be different.

I would have to say Nitro is my favorite! But Rolling Thunder is surely my favorite classic!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: peterpjr on February 06, 2009, 07:21:14 AM
This is such a hard question for me to answer.  It is still a complete toss up between Nitro and Toro.  I have rode both hundreds of times and when I get off Toro, it is my favorite and then I ride Nitro and it is my favorite.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: VinnyFresh on April 07, 2009, 04:25:25 PM
Its Hard for me to say, but Kingda Ka. I love the initial launch!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: overlord on April 07, 2009, 05:08:30 PM
I really do love the launch of Kingda Ka. It never gets old and it was amazing to ride two years ago in the freezing temps and getting my back to back rollback. But El Toro is just a non stop ride.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: nitrorox1414 on April 07, 2009, 05:10:52 PM
WHOAAA GO NITRO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: Fjask on April 07, 2009, 05:25:50 PM
As good as the launch on Kingda Ka is, I gotta say that the ejector air on Toro is much better.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: overlord on April 07, 2009, 05:26:40 PM
If it had lap bars, Ka > Toro

It's a close one i love toro and ka but i gotta say top favorite is GASM, it's a classic
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: WadeJ on April 08, 2009, 08:05:25 PM
Wow... A real true diehard GASM fan :). Not many of those left lol. Welcome to the boards :D.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: rjholla2003 on April 09, 2009, 12:14:38 AM
I have much love for those who appreciate GASM.  It's not my favorite, but I do have respect for it.  I'm not a fan of the bashing and heavy trimming on the MCBR, but I love the fact that it has as many inversions as Med-wait...Bizarro, and more heavy positive Gs!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: Bubba Z on April 09, 2009, 12:19:52 AM
I give it major props for being the most reliable  ride in the park.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: Millennium Force 44 on April 09, 2009, 10:05:55 AM
I also do not think it is the best ride in the park, but it is a lot of fun and I am an arrow fan.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: CycloneMan on April 09, 2009, 01:08:00 PM
It was a toss up between GASM and RT, but I went with RT because it's the only coaster there that no matter how many times I ride it, I never know what I'm getting into. It was my first at the park, and a sentamental favorite ;)
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: coasterfreak23 on April 09, 2009, 01:28:43 PM
kingda ka is my favorite.. on a clear day you can see the philly skyline!!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: overlord on April 09, 2009, 03:49:05 PM
Everyone says you can see skylines but I never have the time to actually analyze if its true or not.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: darkridedan on April 09, 2009, 04:16:17 PM
Welcome Brian. GASM is one of my favorite coasters at GA too.

I saw Liberty One and Two in Philly on Ka.

I still believe Nitro is the best. Bizarro come close because of the improved effects. Really, who dosen't like Bizarro?!

Umm probably Bizzarro, but only front row, all the other rows are boring.

Nirto would be a close 2 Esp Front Row.

Never rode kindga ka so i wouldnt know. :0

Ill Give u a review l8ter tho!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: themeparkrider on August 25, 2009, 10:35:50 PM
Heck no! Bizarro in the back beats sh*t! The only thing that could stink about Bizarro is when the speakers don't work...

Nah front row bizzarro is the scariest. Ive rode back, front, and middle but in  front row u feel the height and more power. :golfclap:
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: themeparkrider on August 26, 2009, 09:35:43 AM
More power? Like over what the coaster is gonna do? No, the back is faster, and it doesn't stall on those loops!
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: FrontRowGirl on August 26, 2009, 10:35:57 AM
Idk You Can "FEEL" the Wind and the "Power" more. Theres no faster difference between front and back. Only Differences between trains (fat people train) (skinny people train) O0

~GASM We "accidently" went on a fat people train, Front Row and we almost like got stuck on the First loop, HA HA HA!   :D
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: WadeJ on August 26, 2009, 11:24:41 AM
Anybody else confused??? GASM trains are all identical and the only difference between front and back is being pulled or pushed out of an element.
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: nitrorox1414 on August 26, 2009, 11:42:56 AM
I am so confused there is no fat people or skinny people train they all look the same except color and they all feel the same!!!

Actually, the only difference is that the white train has horrendous got 2 b logos all over it  ::)
Title: Re: your favorite ride at SFGA
Post by: rjholla2003 on August 26, 2009, 11:49:09 AM
On Bizarro, I prefer the back for the power.  Having the train pull you through the elements is one amazing feeling.  The front row provides a noticeably weaker ride IMO, but I prefer it much more because I love the view.  More often than not, I prefer being pulled through the element rather than pushed through, so I'm more inclined for the back row.

Either Nitro or El Toro -- if I had to chose if would be El Toro. But I love the first drop on Nitro, it's makes it soo scary with the weird lap bar

Gutted we didn't ride Rolling Thunder, if looked at bit like a kiddie ride sitting next to Toro

El Toro for its speed, smoothness, turns, airtime, and all around amazing ride
