Great Adventure is a sheer monster of a theme park bursting at the seams with a gigantic collection of rides, shows and no less than thirteen rampant roaring roller coasters

Shady tall trees provide for a rather surprising leafy gentle central area to the park with an assortment of family friendly flat rides, like the Big Wheel, Carousel and scarily high up Sky Ride's cable cars travelling way above

From this green core, action packed plazas pumping with adrenaline pulsing coaster beasts sprawl, lining the outer edge of the park, from the Hollywood dazzle of Movietown to the wild western flavour of Frontier Adventures, each land is well themed and presented

Golden Kingdom one of the newest areas features some exceptional themeing, with exotic shops and integrated Tiger exhibit, it really is remarkable and a whole world away from the usual generic Six Flags experience

Great Adventure's skyline is shattered by a multitude of exceptional roller coasters, the mammoth airtime explosive out n back up n downs of Nitro, the exhilarating soaring sensations of Superman Ultimate Flight, the intense inverted aerial antics of Batman The Ride and the wonderful majestic large scale loopings of Medusa, this park really is overflowing with world class coaster thrills

Batman & Robin: The Chiller a unique twin track launch coaster has since been removed from Great Adventure. The separate tracks furiously catapulted into a cobra roll or inverting top hat respectively before rocketing through a duelling inline twist, climbing upwards to the highest point giving victims precious few seconds to catch their breath before an inescapable trip backwards through the gut wrenching inversions back towards the loading station

Kingda Ka is served nicely with a huge side of pure American cheese, the interactive loading station announcements gets all passengers prepared and pumped up for their trip on the tallest, fastest roller coaster in the World "gimme an oooh rah!"

The intimidation factor is huge, as is the skyward vertical bound track in front of you as ponder nervously awaiting on the launch track, the 0 to 128mph acceleration in three and a half seconds is very harsh, cresting the 456ft summit is an incredible experience however the ride does has a slight degree of juddering against the restraints which dampens the excitement, nonetheless its not everyday you challenge a ride of such extreme sensationalism as Kingda Ka

Six Flags Great Adventure is park of extremes, from the contrast of calm family rides inside a shady forest to built up ride heavy hubs, from gentle junior coasters to the tallest fastest coaster in the world, all of which make for an overwhelming yet very enjoyable flagship Six Flags park
