also off topic, red line do u go to the bumper to bumper during cruise night?

Haha yes I always used to. I'm always at cruise night still. They don't do the thing at bumper anymore though cause the new owner is a tard and doesn't like business I guess? I live right in Freehold.

Oh, and the line has never been long for me at 6 flags. I go at 6pm at night when everyone who has been there all day is leaving. I stay 4 hours and get on every single roller coaster at LEAST once. I have a season pass so even if I go at 8pm for an hour or two it is worth it. I waited 25 mins for kingda ka last night and thats by far the longest Ive ever waited. Usually a 15 minute wait. Been a lot less people at the park the past two years. Gas and the whole money situation with the economy is probably a lot to do with it.

Sounds like the ride I rode last nigt at Cedar point called Top Thrill dragster. Crazy *** ride!

I have a pic of when I was at the top(wife took them), but is just a pic of the cars as I only had a 3x zoom point and shoot camera.

Had a blast yesterday, however my feet have blisters all over them.

lingenfelter corvettes will go 0-60 in 1.97 secs, so they might do that int 3 somthing.

I went to 6 flags yesterday and of course had to ride the infamous Kingda Ka, and kind of got to thinking. It goes from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds. What kind of car could that be equivalent to in the 1/4 or 1/8 mile? I know even the Bugatti Veyron does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, which in 3.5 would probably be going about 80, so this thing has some crazy acceleration.

Honestly, it would be going faster than that. 0-60 times with supercars are a matter of traction off the line.

What some consider the fastest accelerating production car, the Ultima GTR, takes 5.3 seconds to hit 100.

and is back to 0 within 4.7 seconds iirc.

went from old school chevys.

FYI, it would equal about a 6-7 second car in the 1/4... VERY fast!

Hey redline accord. So the batman ride you went on is the one all in the dark their newest ride. I was there in the begining of the year Didnt really take note that the chiller rides were gone but I dunno lol I would have look again. But the new batman ride called the dark night supposed to be all inclosed and all.

Also everyone else. I have to six flag in NJ many of times when it rains I think its the best time to go. Some times we even got free passes to come back because they said some of the rides were closed. But most of the rides that were closed where all crapy ones.

Ya, its the Dark Knight, and it sucks. It's so lame. They took down Chiller for it, as I said it's not there anymore. I dunno why they got rid of those awesome coasters for this cheap POS. El Toro the new wooden coaster is completely badass though. One of the best rides there along with Nitro and Kingda Ka.

I've never tried going to the park in the rain though. Like I said I just go at night when everyones leaving and theres practically no lines anyways. It would be a good idea for the free pass, but then again I have a season pass, which only cost me 130 bucks for all three parks. I've been there +10 times now and a few times to Hurricane Harbor. 6 flags alone costs 50 something to get in, so its more than worth it.

Thats a full out shame they took those rides down. Sh$t I didnt even notice it lol. I didnt even go on that side. I did hit that el toro though crazy ride. That first drop was insane. I mostly go in the begining of the year when they first open up schools are still in so I go on a monday.... I assume you live right down the road.
